Marina Orlova Has Readers Hot For Words In Her New Book

Philologist and internet sensation Marina Orlova stopped by to talk about her new book Hot For Words.

Hot For Words explores the origins of English words. Some of her entries focus on common everyday words while others address lengthy and rarely used tongue-twisters. In her Hot For Words book, Orlova takes you on a journey through the origins and meanings of words and phrases. Combining fascinating philology and etymology with provocative, full-colored photos of the alluring author, Hot For Words makes intelligence sexy and lots of fun!

Russian-born Orlova has two college degrees in philology which she uses to specialize in word origins. The sexy philologist became an internet celebrity after hosting the widely popular Youtube show HotForWords. She has also created the website HotForWords.com.

Hot For Words is available in bookstores now. You can meet Orlova tonight at 7pm during her book signing Borders Columbus Circle (10 Columbus Circle). For more information on Hot For Words, visit www.hotforwords.com.
