Dare 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:
- answering all the questions correctly
- sharing the giveaway on social media (tell me about your shares)
- 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.
