Giveaway: Blackboard Books 3 Book Set

** this giveaway is closed **

As you all know, I LOVE the Blackboard Series of Books from Readers Digest! I've done some reviews here (and here) and I am super thrilled to be able to offer a giveaway of the new BOXED set of books to my readers today!
blackboard book set

These 3 books are perfect for any student, juvenile OR adult, and perfect for all graduates going off to college!

Synopsis: The first three titles in the Blackboard Books series are now available in an attractive box set! Test your knowledge on all subjects, from English Lit to Western Civ, from Grammar to Idioms, from Physics to Math and so much more. Inside you'll find:

I before e (except after c): old-school ways to remember stuff In this clever-and often hilarious-collection, you'll find engaging mnemonics, arranged in easy to find categories that include geography, time and the calendar, numbers, and astronomy. Perfect for students of all ages!

My Grammar and I...Or Should That Be Me?: How to Speak and Write It Right Avoid grammatical minefields with this entertaining refresher course for anyone who has ever been stumped by spelling confusion, dangling modifiers, split infinitives, or for those who have no idea what these things even are.

I Used to Know That: Stuff You Forgot from School Take a trip down memory lane with this light-hearted and informative reminder of the many things we learned in school that have been forgotten over time, from Shakespeare and diphthongs to quotients, phalanges, and protons. After all, as Stantayana reminds us, "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
