Wonderous Words Wednesday



Wondrous Words Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Kathy aka Bermuda Onion where we share new (to us) words that we’ve encountered in our reading. Feel free to join in the fun.


This week's word comes from Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick.

"I couldn't see. I was in the flue"


What words have you found this week?

I keep trying to add an e to the end of flu - maybe I've seen that word and it's stuck in my head. Thanks for participating!

Flue has fallen out of use because so few people have fireplaces anymore. I've only heard it in reference to chimney flues.

My words are here.
