Weekly Geeks #1

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Laura at Reading Reflections just finished The Book Thief and rated it 5/5. That was such a good book!!!!
  5. Kim at Page after Page has already posted a Once Upon a Time II wrap-up!! Congratulations on finishing that challenge so quickly!
