Word Garden Word List--Joy School

 
Elizabeth Berg

Hello everyone and welcome to the Word List on its new day, Sunday. Originally, I did not choose Sunday because I didn't want to compete with Carrie's Sunday Muse, but that's not an issue now, so here we go. 


This week our source is Elizabeth Berg's 1997 novel Joy School. I have read seven of her novels and liked them all, but this one is my special favorite. Some novelists are all over the map, one stunning read, one awful one, and one in between, rinse, repeat. (Anne Tyler, I'm looking at you.) Elizabeth Berg, though, is money. She always delivers a wise, entertaining, heart-tugging story. 

What we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new original poem of our own. Then simply link up, visit others, and then go skating or something! This List remains active through Saturday. 

And now, your List:

dismal
evaporated
exact
fix

luxury
museum
narrow
newspaper
punch
skate
spray

  5. I think I have read something by Elizabeth Berg in the past. I can't remember what. I am glad you moved to Sunday, though sometimes I might not write until Monday. My 'poem' just got something off my chest. Thanks for the list.
