Weekly Geeks: 2009-03
In the third Weekly Geeks of 2009, it is all about the classics. Ali is defining classics as anything 100 years old or older – I’m going to be more liberal with the definition because I have some great classics to share with you which were written in the 1930s. 1) How do you feel [...]
Weekly Geeks: 2009-02
I am late to this one – please forgive me, but I ended up sick with the flu this week and spent three days flat on my back. My husband said he knew I was really sick when I did not pick up a book for that entire time! Anyway, I’m back and just had [...]

Weekly Geeks #27 – In Memory of Dewey
This week’s Weekly Geeks is a special one – Becky asked for participants to create a tribute to Dewey, the founder and creative energy behind Weekly Geeks. Like everyone else, I was stunned when I had learned of Dewey’s passing. She was a constant in the book blogger world – a person who was always [...]

Weekly Geeks – September 20, 2008
I’ve been seriously remiss in participating in Dewey’s Weekly Geeks event. But this weekend, I have a little time … and the task we are challenged to complete is exactly what I need to do. Dewey writes: This week’s theme is: catch up on… something. 1. Decide what you need to catch up on. 2. [...]
Weekly Geeks #10 – Magazines
This week’s “assignment” is all about the magazines we read. Dewey wrote: For each magazine you want to talk about, here are a few questions. Answer as many or as few as you want. 1. Name of magazine. 2. Do you subscribe or just buy it now and then? 3. What’s your favorite regular feature [...]
Weekly Geeks #9 – Challenge Me!
I skipped last week’s Weekly Geeks – I have every intention of doing the scavenger hunt, then I simply got overwhelmed with it and gave up. But this week’s theme is right up my alley. Dewey writes: If you participate in any challenges, get organized! Update your lists, post about any you haven’t mentioned, add [...]
