Today I'm linking up with one of my favorite reading blogs - Elza Reads - where I keep up with the reading adventures of adorable white kitten Elza and her behind the scenes mom. I couldn't resist linking up with this feature all about words.
Today I'm talking about one of my most favorite words to use when describing the antics of cozy mystery characters:
Hijinks - as in boisterous fun, or zany (another activity) activities, or rowdy activity. Usually I'm using it to describe a combination of all three.
And to use it in a sentence:
Charlotte's Angels got involved in all kinds of hijinks when they entered Sarah's cat, Elvis, in a cat show, so they could investigate misdeeds undercover.
What is one of your favorite descriptive words?
Hijinks is a great word! It's right up there with tomfoolery :)
ReplyDeleteGreat word and what a beautiful cover! I do love that series.
ReplyDeleteI need to look up this series. Made me LOL.
ReplyDeleteI do believe I have read one Elvis book and now look forward to reading further hijinks of Charlie's Angels.
ReplyDeleteHijinks is a great word. We do not hear it often enough. Thanks for highlighting it.
ReplyDeleteI love Elza Reads, too. Always a delight.
Hi Katherine! Aaaah - thank you soooo much! I've had a rough week and now it's all kittens and rainbows again.
ReplyDeleteNever heard the word Hijinks before and it's not as much a tongue twister as a spelling twister.
Love the kitty book that you've featured as well! I will have a new Wondrous Words Wednesday up for you guys next Wednesday.
Hope you are well and Will too!
