Every November the word-buffs at Oxford Dictionaries choose one word from their lexicon that has risen in prominence and now best exemplifies the year that has passed.
2013 (selfie) saw the rise and rise of Instagram queen Kim Kardashian and in 2014 (vape) e-cigarettes became mainstream as cities around the world clamped down on smoking in public. This year – to raised eyebrows and scandalised op-ed pieces – Oxford Dictionaries announced that their word of the year was… an emoji. Not the word emoji, but an actual emoji (or “face with tears of joy” if you want to get all texty about it).
In honour of “face with tears of joy”, we thought that we’d set Readings customers a little challenge: Can you guess the book title by the emoji?
