I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.
Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?
Not a published book but a fanfiction called The seven devils. The word macabre was used so much that some people in the comments (Wattpad) started counting it 💀.
Btw also the word macabre in the sequel.
