bibliosmia

The smell and aroma of a good book.

Sometimes the best thing about a book is that wonderful sensation of bibliosmia: the effect the book has on the nostrils as you breathe in the scent of the pages. Some people are a junkie for that.

longquel

A sequel to a film, book, or television series that has been made or published a considerable time after the original, usually with disappointing consequences.

To my surprise, I really enjoyed the Indiana Jones longquel when I saw it at the cinema.
