My bookish meme for 2026: the Golden Age of Detection (GAD) Mystery Word of the Day. Whenever I find a word that I'm unfamiliar with--or shall we say not absolutely confident I know the exact meaning of, I'm going to actually take time to look it up and share it with mystery-lovers everywhere. 😊
Today's GAD Mystery Word of the Day is curvetting (verb): 1. leaping in dressage with all four feet off the ground; 2. prancing or frisking about
[about a fatal car accident] "But he was curvetting about to such an extent that Andy knew something was wrong. He said he couldn't have taken the corner properly like that." (Shadows Before by Dorothy Bowers)

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
