favorite words

feign. murmur. padded. random words that I've found in nearly ever adult fiction book I've read this summer and I've read over 20 books. I think these are the top three favorites for authors to use. Or maybe it's a requirement for a ny bestseller listed title.


these words capture human emotion; feign, as in "I am only pretending to go along with you." murmur, as in a "subtle reply from a character ranging from agreement to listening" padded, as in, "she padded across the living room floor barefoot."

favorite words have a way of communicating so articulately, accurately a picture the words seek to portray.
