The first Weekly Geeks Challenge from Dewey is to visit at least 5 new blogs that are unfamiliar to you. This was a great idea for the first challenge.
Here’s what I found:
Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit is celebrating National Poetry Month by having a giveaway. Just post an original poem or your favorite poem in her comments by May 2, and she will post the winner on May 3.
I had to visit Michelle’s blog just because she’s a Michelle! She had such pretty butterflies for her theme, and I love the picture of all the children’s books she just got from Amazon.
I love the header Kristen has at Delightfully Dogmatic. She just finished Out Stealing Horses and while she was lukewarm about it, she says she’d still recommend it.
Laura at Reading Reflections just finished The Book Thief and rated it 5/5. That was such a good book!!!!

Isn’t this a cute cover?! I just love it. Keeper and Kid by Edward Hardy is about a single dad trying to be a father to a 3 year-old child he never even knew he had. It’s about the shock one gets with a child when one realizes your life will never be your own again. It’s also about how our lives are made even richer for it. Struggling to make his job and his relationships work with a new child in his life, James Keeper is just overwhelmed with it all. But little Leo is so cute and says the cutest things. Children are like that. They frustrate and inspire simultaneously. I enjoyed reading this book about child rearing and relationships from a man’s perspective, though the language was a bit strong for my tastes. I’d be interested in reading the sequel if the author decides to write one.
Thanks, Joy, for hosting this again! Last year after the challenge, I won The Only Road North from Joy, and I just finished it last month. Thanks for that, too; it was an excellent book!
I usually have to be forced to read non-fiction these days, so this challenge will be good for me. I’ll pick 5 from the following, making sure I have at least one that’s not a memoir:
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (graphic novel memoir)
Persepolis 2 by Marjane Satrapi (graphic novel memoir)
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. (Psalm 145:18-19, ESV)
