I'm a sucker for thesauruses and phrase books. This one is pretty good. There were some occasional odd ducks...like I don't think anyone should use the phrase "swollen masterpiece" but perhaps that's just me. I did get a giggle to see the smallest and last section of the book was the section on sex?!? hahaha My favorite part is facial expressions and alternative words for said.

This was another gift from a friend. She knew it would help guide me in the writer's world of romance. I thought it was an interesting read. I also feel as if everyone's thought process varies, so for me, this title showed me the thought process of the author and how she thinks like a romance writer. There were some good points and was very insightful.

Good resource

There are a lot of words in here. Many of them I probably won't use because of the genre I write in. But I will keep this in my library. I know it will come in handy.
