Weekly Geeks #2

weeklygeekspock.jpgDewey’s idea for the second Weekly Geeks segment is to invite people to comment with their links to reviews of books they’ve read that you’ve also read. I’m not sure I’m going to make this a permanent change, but I’ll try this out for a month or so at least.

EDIT:  I decided this is a little too time-consuming on a book by book basis.  HOWEVER,  I have put Mr. Linkys into my 2008 monthly posts for people to enter their reviews if they wish.  To see my monthly reports and add your reviews, go here.

If you’ve read a book that I’ve also read and would like me to link to your review, just comment on the particular book review, and I’ll ‘make it so.’

You can find my list of ’07 books read here, and my list of ’08 books is here.

This was another great idea, Dewey!

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!
