Weekly Geeks: 2009-01

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 #19 – Best of 2008

Week of September 27, 2008
Dewey has challenged the Weekly Geeks to name their top picks for books published in 2008. I have read some fantastic books this year…and whittling them down to “the best” was not easy. Here are my picks so far this year (click on the titles to read my reviews):

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 [...]

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 in the magazine?
4. [...]

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 links [...]

Weekly Geeks #7 – Photos Week

This week is all about photos. Dewey writes:
Decide what to illustrate and start taking photos… Create a post of your photos.
**Please click on all photos to enlarge
I decided to create a post which will tell my readers a little bit about myself. Everyone knows I love books and challenges…so my first photo gives you a [...]

Weekly Geeks #6 – Catching Up

Better late than never, right? Last week we were encouraged to catch up on reviews. But, Dewey also said:
If you don’t review books in your blog, or if you’re all caught up on reviews, just choose something else you need to catch up on, anything at all, and you can still join in.
I do my [...]

Weekly Geeks #5 – Storytelling

This week’s theme was suggested by Renay. She says, “I thought it would be cool to ask people to talk about other forms of story-telling.” This week’s theme is once again one you could approach several ways. You might want to tell about the forms of storytelling (aside from books) you love.
