And now that Handbook for Dragon Slayers is delivered and accepted, and I have a bit of time on my hands until copyedits come back, I get to play around in my sadly neglected New Words Sandbox.

So. This meme!

Fairer (MG fairy book)

fairer, not fairest
wiser, not wisest
kinder, not kindest
better, not best

I love ALL of these! :) (But my very top favorites are the lines from Queen of Thonos, the 64 Kingdoms Book, and Untitled YA Comedy of Manners.)

Aw, thanks! I'm excited to have something NEW to work on.

Interesting! (As always, I love all the funny ones.)

[merriehaskell]

Now you make me wonder which are the funny ones!
