The book: The Grammar Devotional: Daily tips for successful Writing from Grammar Girl

Week 25- Saturday- Who’s on First Versus Firstly:

“Although it’s acceptable to order sentences firstly, secondly, thirdly, etc., in your writing, many people (including me) prefer first, second, and third for their simplicity and directness.  Firstly just sounds fussy to me.  And for heaven’s sake, don’t mix the two forms.”

 I have never used firstly…  I didn’t even think it was acceptable.  Which way do you prefer?

Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday now has it’s very own blog, Mailbox Monday.  It is also on tour and is being hosted by Passages to the Past in April.

I received three books in my inbox (I actually purchased these ebooks:

 

 I read so many great reviews of this books from reviewers I usually agree with.  I was given a gift card as a thank you for going “above and beyond” at work.  Totally unnecessary and unexpected.  I decided to use it for this book and the next.

This has been on my TBR since I heard it was being published.  I know it hasn’t lived up to expectations but I want to complete the series.

 This book is available on Smashwords for $3.99 U.S.  All of the proceeds are going to Disaster Relief and our own Susan Helene Gottfried has a story in it.  The only problem, it’s totally un-readable!  The words are layered on top of words, in the epub format.  I wrote to Smashwords last Tuesday about it and they have not gotten back to me!  I wrote to them again today.  I’ll keep you posted.  I obviously won’t be buying anything else from them if they don’t respond!
