Mono Monday - Words

When I think of words my thoughts immediately go to books.  A quick look at one of the bookcases led me to consider the different ways in which words can be used.  This small collection covers words of instruction, words to use for research, words to add to the pleasure of a hobby,  words purely for the enjoyment of reading and last but by no means least words to help us understand their meaning.  I have also added a definition of the word  'word'   itself.  These are just some of the ways we use the written word, but of course there is also the spoken word as a means of communication.  My brain hurts now after all that thinking.
Thank you so much Nickimags888 for hosting Mono Monday so well this past month.
