Weekly Geeks 2009-23: Reading Challenges

This week’s Weekly Geeks is inspired by Sheri at A Novel Menagerie who writes:
Reading Challenges: a help or a hurt? Do you find that the reading challenges keep you organized and goal-oriented? Or, do you find that as you near the end of a challenge that you’ve failed because you fell short of your original [...]

Weekly Geeks 2009-20: Guilty Pleasures

This week’s geek post is all about guilty pleasures:
What’s your non-reading guilty pleasure?
Trashy TV?
Trashier movies?
Junk food?
I have a few guilty pleasures. My job can be pretty intense – I work with people all day answering questions and problem solving…so by the end of the day I am ready to just zone out, not think, [...]

Weekly Geeks: 2009-04

Posted by Chris: This week’s Weekly Geek is inspired by Dewey’s Knit-a-Long, a mini challenge of Dewey’s Reading Challenge. Dewey had other passions besides reading and blogging. Knitting was one of them. This made me think, what are the Weekly Geek’s other passions?

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.

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 [...]

Weekly Geeks is back! For the first installment of 2009, the wonderful Terri from Reading Writing and Retirement wrote the post. She writes:
In the spirit of the amazing community building that Dewey was so good at, tell us about your favorite blogs, the ones you have bookmarked or subscribe to in your Google Reader, that [...]

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 right [...]

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. Write [...]
