Craig’s Word of the Day

During my junior high school days; I was an avid reader, usually mysteries (Agatha was my go-to) and teen fiction (Gordon Korman anyone?)…

Whenever I came upon a weird word; I’d right it down, so that I could look it up. If it was a French diction, I’d write that down too; then I’d ask my school librarian who spoke French.

With Libby, there is a Define option available when highlighting a word. Heck, Apple has Look Up definitions for selected words.

That makes it easier than hunting out a dictionary!

I am going to start my own Word of the Day blog… to keep these weird, useful descriptors handy!

It all starts on Wednesday, September 4th!

Stay tuned!
