If you want to join in this challenge, just create a stack of books that spells a word that is either new to you or has an interesting fact about it. It will be fun to discover new words or find out some interesting facts about them. . 🔤 This week my word is SORORAL. . 🕵🏼‍♀️ DID YOU KNOW... Sororal means simply “relating to one’s sister or sisters; sisterly.” It derives from the Latin noun soror “sister” and the English adjective suffix -al, which ultimately comes from the Latin suffix -ālis. Soror comes from Proto-Indo-European swésor- “sister,” in Latin going through the stages from swesor to swosor to sworor to soror. Swésor- appears in Sanskrit as svásar-, in Greek as éor (Greek from preliterate times has had trouble with initial and intervocalic s and w, let alone the cluster sw-, all of which usually became h in classical Greek and disappeared in Hellenistic and later Greek). The form swésōr becomes siur in Old Irish and chwaer in Welsh. The Germanic variant swestar yields Gothic swistar, Old Norse systir, which influenced Old English sweostor and suster to become English sister. Sororal entered English in the mid-17th century. . #readingwithrovergroup #bookstadog #repostrover #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #book #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #bookphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9j6GzA3lM/?igshid=j9hvxkwg1jbu

📚 Hello Book Friends! I just started reading FLORENCE ADLER SWIMS FOREVER by Rachel Beanland. Look for my review in a few days. . ✏️ Synopsys: When tragedy strikes, Esther makes the shocking decision to hide the truth—at least until Fannie’s baby is born—and pulls the family into an elaborate web of secret-keeping and lies, bringing long-buried tensions to the surface that reveal how quickly the act of protecting those we love can turn into betrayal. . Based on a true story and told in the vein of J. Courtney Sullivan’s Saints for All Occasions and Anita Diamant’s The Boston Girl, Beanland’s family saga is a breathtaking portrait of just how far we will go to in order to protect our loved ones and an uplifting portrayal of how the human spirit can endure—and even thrive—after tragedy. . 📢 Rachel Beanland is a writer of uncommon wit and wisdom, with a sharp and empathetic eye for character. She’ll win you over in the most old fashioned of ways: She simply tells a hell of a story.” —Rebecca Makkai, Pulitzer Finalist for The Great Believers . 🙋🏼‍♀️ Thank you, Simon & Schuster Canada for sending me an ARC of this lovely novel. FLORENCE ADLER SWIMS FOREVER by Rachel Beanland will be available at your favourite bookstore on July 7th. . 🔮 Let us play a predictive text game today: Type “I love to swim in a pool of…” and complete the sentence using the predictive text on your phone. . . . #readwithrovergroup #repostrover #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #bookphotography #floranceadlerswimsforever #rachelbeanland #currentread . @rachelbeanland | @simonschusterca https://www.instagram.com/p/CCLbIuBA3-7/?igshid=sicdosnc8hp6
