We’re back with our Author Questions series, where our TBR gains even more fine additions about language itself! There’s no better reading recommendation than from the mouth of an author. 🔠 📖

Martha Barnette (martha.barnette) is the author of the USA TODAY Bestseller, FRIENDS WITH WORDS: ADVENTURES IN LANGUAGELAND. FRIENDS WITH WORDS covers everything from old-timey phrases “like grandma used to say” to modern-day slang. 🧩📚

Watch the full reel to learn all about the Wikipedia that predates the internet! 🎥
