Hello, everyone! It is a beautiful day and I am one very happy writer. I just received my first book review from Mr. Rutherford; he is the book review guru. Yesterday he gave the book, “Immortal Lost”, an excellent review. If you are interested in reading what Mr. Rutherford had to say about the “Immortal Lost”, just go to yesterday’s blog where it is posted.
I am also getting rave reviews from readers. Thanks to every reader who is sending in such wonderful responses and e-mails. I also want to say thanks to all the teachers and lovely young readers from my hometown. I have several props for you to use in your book reports at school. Just let me know what you need and I will make sure you have them. I have to say that I am a very blessed writer and the support that I am receiving has been wonderful.
Again, I must say a heartfelt thank you to every one of my readers and supporters. You have no idea how much I value you. Please send any questions or responses into the blog or by e-mail and we will do our best to make sure they are answered. Now, let’s get down to business ~ the word of the day!
Today’s word comes from Lisa Smiley of Rapid City, SD. Lisa has chosen the word certainly. I asked why she chose that word and she told me her five-year-old daughter has been using it on a regular basis. How cute is that? I love it when little people use big words. It was my daughter’s favorite word for a very long time. That shouldn’t surprise my readers considering she is the consummate debater, just like her mother. I love to read, love to debate… I think it is in the blood.
Our definition comes to us today from www.merriam-webster.com
cer·tain·ly adv \-lē\
1: in a manner that is certain: with certainty
2: it is certain that: assuredly
Used in a sentence. It will certainly rain tomorrow. This year's festival was certainly much better than last year's. I'm certainly going to try. The new version is most certainly easier to use. The snake that bit her was almost certainly poisonous.
Well, I certainly understand this definition. Yet how can we tie it in with the “Immortal Lost” or even the series, like I have in the past with my blogs? “Easy Peasy”, like my daughter would say. The series has several twists and turns and in the first book, ”The Immortal Lost”, you see a few. Yet in the second book, there are certainly more. Yeah, I know that was way too easy.
Keep them coming, readers! I love a challenge, so make sure to submit your word of the day.
Until tomorrow, Read On! H.R. Phillips
