Smart Words

In this book, author Jenny Kellett has carefully selected over 100 words that met several criteria:

• Must not be overly pretentious (no one likes a smarty pants )
• Must be useful in everyday speech
• Must make you sound smarter, but not like you're reading from a dictionary of obscurity

Words allow us to convey every emotion - from joy and excitement to sorrow and pain - in such a simple and effective way.

Spending the time to increase your vocabulary can open up an unexpected number of doors for you, and it can be incredibly fulfilling. You'll find yourself being able to express yourself in ways you never thought possible.

Thanks to easy-to-understand example sentences for each word, you'll instantly find that words like bloviate, ennui, kibosh and cronyism will just roll off your tongue.

Smart Words: Words to Make you Sound Smarter makes for the perfect gift for any wordsmith. Or - if you want to swat up while you do your business - it's the ideal bathroom reader.
