Do you ever notice an author using a word over and over again? (alien.top)

I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.

Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?

Also "abstracted." She uses it sooooo often. Just say "distracted" like a normal person!
