Description: Discover words to surprise, delight, and enamor. Learn terms for the sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees, for dancing awkwardly but with relish, and for the look shared by two people who each wish the other would speak first. Mak loves words, and her brief compilation of words will surprise, delight, and enamor. Do you practice Tsundoku? It is a Japanese noun for the letting books pile up unread after your buy them. Or perhaps you Balter. That's an English verb describing dancing artlessly, but with enjoyment. Discover these and other words that you have probably never heard, but might be practicing even now.
