Free SAT Vocab Words and Study Tips. With Vampires.

We’ve just launched 4 weeks’ worth of free vocab words and study tips from Defining Twilight, a book that spices up SAT/ACT studying by approaching it through everyone’s favorite vampire book, Twilight.  The book uses words from the novel that are likely to appear on the test and offers challenges so readers can check their progress. If you or someone you know is starting to study for the big test, you know it isn’t tons of fun. Edward and Bella may be able to help. You can check it out here (and remember, with DailyLit’s gifting feature, you can send the book to a friend completely free).

Which Full Books Are Finished Most on DailyLit?

DailyLit is often described as a way to get through War and Peace in under five minutes a day, and reader @Dreamdust was wondering which of the “longer” books are most finished on DailyLit. We thought it was a great question and decided to do some investigating. Here’s what we’ve found.

The most-finished full-length book is…Pride and Prejudice. Since that’s always been one of our most popular books, we can’t say we’re surprised! Here’s the top 10 finished books on DailyLit:

Pride and Prejudice
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Moby Dick
The Mysterious Affair at Styles
Crime and Punishment
Wuthering Heights
A Tale of Two Cities
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Walden

Hope you all have a great long weekend.
