A tizzy of fairies – honest.

I’m always researching.  I do it at bookstores, libraries and on line.  I can’t even look up a word in the dictionary without getting sidetracked for twenty minutes.  There is always some interesting word that catches my eye and then another and another until it snowballs and I can’t remember what I opened the dictionary for in the first place.  Lord help me if there is a map in there, then I’m really doomed.  I have no less than four thesauruses.  Or is it thesaurusi?  I don’t know, and I don’t have time to look it up.  I just told you what would happen if I did. 

I have picture books for research, too.  I have one on English Gardens and another on English Manor Houses. And just in case the first one didn’t have what I want there is also, Great English Houses and a copied article on Georgian & Regency Houses.  I have several on castles – both how they worked and were built as well as  what they look like.  Apparently, I am quite curious about where people live.

While I was looking up something or other on the Internet, I found this over at Bookninja. 

Isn’t this brilliant?  I love how they are broken down into categories.  And some of them are funny – “a harem of sexbots” for example.  A clubbing of chupacabra.  An itself of Yahwehs.  A choir of seriel killers.

Now I just need a story where I can use “a yearning of Sasquatches”
