Word Nerd Vocabulary Quiz, Spring Edition

Word Nerd ReviewDare I say it?  Spring is FINALLY here!  (I’m afraid Mother Nature will drop a few more snow flakes now, just to scare me.)

It’s been a long, tedious winter, and to celebrate its end, I’m hosting a GIVEAWAY.  This word nerd workout will review some of my vocabulary words from the past few months. Everyone who plays will be entered into a drawing for a copy of 1100 Words You Need to Know, my favorite vocabulary book, or a Barnes and Noble gift card.  You can earn bonus entries by:

  1. answering all the questions correctly
  2. sharing the giveaway on social media (tell me about your shares)
  3. answering the bonus questions on my Facebook

We’ve had a lot of time to stay inside and read; let’s see how much you learned.
