I like this word! It reminds me of the word racooon…they sound a bit similar in my opinion ๐ It’s also a word that rolls nicely off the tongue, and it describes you and your blog very well ๐

This is Iยดd say undoubtedly a word derived from French language… (Raconter is a verb which means to tell ).
I truly like the french derived words in English, particularly due to the fact that they sound completely difference when pronounced… (I learned some French in High School!)…
Good choice dear Heena… all my best wishes to you. Aquileana โญ
