Welcome to the revamped Things in Scots series. In this incarnation of TiS, I’m sharing the Scots language found in my upcoming romantic suspense novel, Running the Asset.
This week’s word is one of those great sounding words that just feel right for what they mean.
It’s Friday, and I have a couple of new books to share! Even though I’m on holiday–sort of, it keeps getting moved to later in the week *sobs*–I’m sticking with just two books this time.

I wanted to say a huge thanks for everyone’s feedback last week. I’ve now come up with a far clearer and smoother way to work with wheesht in the story. Your help is invaluable, guys!
If you’ve watched Supernatural, you might have heard a word very similar to this week’s word, eejit. Bobby Singer uses idjit for Sam and Dean–the meaning of both words is the same.
I’m changing things up a bit this week. Instead of having three books in rotation–a work read, a fun read, and a me read–I’m going with just the two.

If you don’t know what it is, this meme explains it succinctly.

This week’s TiS word is one of my favourites.
It’s Friday, and this week’s reads are old ones found on my Kindle or Kobo ‘To be read’ pile or are re-reads. Again, I’ve got three great reads on the go: a work read, a fun read, and a me-time read. The me-time one…? Yeah, it’s a bit different.
