monalyisha Not putting Mary Roach on my list hurt my heart a little. Glad (and not at all surprised) to see that she‘s being represented without me! 10mo
julesG @RaeLovesToRead It's an interesting topic. 10mo
julesG @random_michelle @monalyisha - I have most of Roach's books, but not read all of them yet. 🙈 10mo

Full of information, anecdotes and pictures. This was interesting, sometimes eye-opening and definitely funny. I like Lister's humour.

Someone recently asked why I wouldn't shelf a novel with a yellow spine with the other yellow books. I explained the #YellowNFShelf and we got talking about books and linguistics and swearing. 😁

Today I started the tagged book (bought a copy two years ago 🙄🙈) and was reminded of Wordslut (and a buddyread with @squirrelbrain), which is how the #YellowNFShelf came into being.

As for the tagged book, it has a much more satisfying explanation ⬇️

julesG about "cunt" and it's linguistic demise. Lots of examples of how well the word did in history, with numeric evidence. ?? 10mo
squirrelbrain Oh, you love a good swear word, don‘t you?! 10mo
julesG @squirrelbrain I was behind the door when they handed out "prim and proper" ?? And swear words are just more interesting (for a linguist) than (prim and proper) verbs. 10mo

What's better than #BookMail? Books arriving months after I ordered them and had already forgotten about.

Addition to the #YellowNFShelf - it has lists.

Photo bombed by #GhostCat because how can I even think about giving the book more attention than her.

Dussmann - Das Kulturkaufhaus | Berlin, Berlin, Germany (Bookstore)

Today's small #BookHaul from the well-stocked (for a German bookshop) English bookshop within the large Dussmann Kulturkaufhaus in Berlin.

"Beyond the Tape" - has a yellow spine. Means an addition to the #YellowNFShelf

"The Spirit Engineer" - won an award, I heard. Not sure which one though. ?

charl08 I love that shop! Did you go to the green cafe in the basement? 1y
julesG @charl08 Nooo! We wanted out of there, because lots of people. Went to a small café under the arches of Bhf Friedrichstraße. Which led to 1y
julesG Darn... Bump of the train and my comment was sent off. Wanted to say we went to Humana Second Hand shop after fueling up and nearly bought an army surplus jumpsuit and leather jackets. 1y
julesG Surplus army jumpsuit (??? Word order???) scrambled brain. You know what I mean 1y
