Thaumatology?

Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.

Anonymous asked: What does thaumatology mean? My computer underlines it so I don't think it's actually a word. I think you're making it up.

Well anonymous person on the internet who I probably know but isn’t willing to reveal themselves, I’m going to answer this in the most annoying way I can! Because for some reason you were willing to take the time to ask me what this word means, but didn’t want to reveal who you actually were, and you weren’t willing to just Google it.

Thaumatology is the study of thaumaturgy. 

Also, here’s some groundbreaking information, a computer’s spell check is not always the most reliable source for what is and isn’t a real word. Spell check doesn’t recognize my or most of my friend’s names as real, but I assure you they are.

Books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.
