I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.
Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?
Ann Rice - preternatural.
Fucking constantly.
Stephen King too
Came here to say this. Preternaturally someone beat me to it
