Have you heard about the latest brainstorm of Shannon from Rocks in My Dryer? It’s the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway. All over the blogosphere, people are holding drawings to give away things they just never got around to using themselves: a cookbook here, a notecard set there, and so on.
Shannon’s got a Mr. Linky up so you can click through to all the participating sites. And count me in!
Somewhere along the line, I wound up with two copies of the amusing and useful book, Amo Amas Amat & More. It’s a collection of commonly used Latin words and phrases—common, I say, yet not quite common enough that those of us who were not classically educated necessarily know what all of them mean. It’s a good book to leave by the phone so you can flip through and con a phrase or two while the health insurance company has stranded you on hold again.
Leave a comment on this post anytime this week to be entered in a drawing for a free copy (my spare, never used!) of Amo Amas Amat & More. I’ll draw a name on Friday (the 27th) at 6pm Eastern time. And scoot over to Rocks in My Dryer to see the ever-growing list of other giveaway items!
