Your words! What a fun list – I really enjoy how it provides insight into who you are while also making all the pleasure centers in my brain light up. “Feral” might be my favourite word on this list – I immediately wondered how often that shows up in slices.

This seems like a random list, but truly is a Slice view into your personality and likes. I like the way they are organized by topic. Interesting post!

Enjoyed reading your list, love how it gives us another lens to know you. My wonderings: How many times did these words show up on our links? What words on this list would be common to March slicers? Could we group readers by the common words on their lists? Could lists like this provide “marketing words” to draw in readers for future SOLs? Could a list like this be a way to introduce oneself… like at the beginning of March? ???

Your “books” and “writing…” word lists are what I click on, too! This is such a clever idea – I hadn’t thought about words that elicit my clicks!

One of mine is definitely poem! I really like the intentionality of how you’ve ordered these words and how you end with joy. Thanks for the clever idea!

Great list. So many of these would appear on my list of keywords as well – cats being at the top.
