Hi guys! It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for another top 10 courtesy of The Broke and the Bookish . They’re still on hiatus and return next week so I’m doing an old topic which is favourite words. There are so many wonderful words out there that picking just 10 was quite difficult so here are 12 I really like. Fair warning though, I’ve already been told by my sister that my list is a little on the pretentious side.
1. Serendipity
The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.
2. Incandescent
Glowing or white with heat; Intensely bright; brilliant.
3. Enchanted
Subject to magical influence; bewitched; Delighted to a high degree.
4. Lullaby
A quiet, gentle song sung to send a child to sleep.
5. Symphony
An elaborate musical composition for full orchestra, typically in four movements, at least one of which is traditionally in sonata form.
6. Solitude
A lonely or uninhabited place; The state or situation of being alone.
7. Inspiration
The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
8. Adventure
An unusual and exciting or daring experience.
9. Silence
Complete absence of sound.
10. Euphoria
A feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness.
11. Atonement
The action of making amends for a wrong or injury.
12. Illusion
A deceptive appearance or impression.
And that’s that! As a bonus, my sister’s favourite word is haemoglobin, especially when you pronounce it with a German accent. I’m also a little partial to the word ‘Dumpling’. Hope you’re all having a wonderful week!
What are some of your favourite words in the English Language?
The Infinite Library 
Such a cute list! I like the word ‘acquiesce’ and ‘tiny’ 😛 they’re just satisfying to say
Thanks and they’re great words too. Every time I hear acquiesce I think of that line from pirates of the Caribbean where they say “I decline to acquiesce to your request”. 😂
Serendipity is such a great one! Also, I never realized how cool “atonement” sounds before reading this list. One of my favorite words is “solace.” Great TTT idea!!
Yeah, I love Serendipity. Even the meaning is great. Solace is a fantastic word now that you mention it. Seems like there are a lot of wonderful ‘s’ words. 😊
