Weekly Geeks: 2009-22, Catching Up On Reviews
Saturday, June 13, 2009
This week, I'm going back to a classic Dewey topic--#12 to be exact. I chose this for several reasons--one, it's one of my favorite weekly geeks topics--but more importantly I saw it would work well with two very important bloggy events going on this week.
1. In your blog, list any books you’ve read but haven’t reviewed yet. If you’re all caught up on reviews, maybe you could try this with whatever book(s) you hope to finish this week. (Be sure to leave a link to this post either in the comments of this post, or in the Mister Linky below.)
2. Ask your readers to ask you questions about any of the books they want. In your comments, not in their blogs. (Most likely, people who will ask you questions will be people who have read one of the books or know something about it because they want to read it.)
3. Later, take whichever questions you like from your comments and use them in a post about each book. Link to each blogger next to that blogger’s question(s).
4. Visit other Weekly Geeks and ask them some questions!
What are these other bloggy events? One is the June Mini-Challenge for Dewey's Reading Challenge. Kailana is asking folks to list the books they've completed (but not reviewed) for either the Dewey Reading Challenge or Carl's Once Upon A Time III challenge. Her due date is Saturday, June 20th. All the details are on the post about the challenge. The second is Natasha's
Bloggiesta. On June 19th and 20th, Natasha is encouraging bloggers to catch up on their blogs. Included in this is reviewing!
Leave a link to your weekly geeks post in the comments or in Mister Linky, if it happens to be working.

Cool, this recurring question is how I came to know of Weekly Geeks! So I couldn't refuse, could I ;)
Great idea! I really needed to do this. My post is up. Thank you.
Thanks for mentioning the Bloggiesta! The topic this week does works well!

Although I pasted my links in Mr Linky, I post it here too in case it disappears:

I've gotten mine up there and I noticed Mr. Linky is working again. Will he be showing up on the page again or is this how it's going to work from now on? Here's my link, jic http://www.literaryescapism.com/2009/06/13/3260/
Also, the new Bookworms Carnival is getting posted in the next 5 minutes. I'm just making it pretty at the moment. :)
If anyone is interested, the 31st edition of the BWC has been posted.
Participating again after a long absence! My list is here.
I've just posted a bunch of mini-reviews of books I didn't have time to review in full, and I thought I could also answer questions about them in case anyone wants to know more. Here.
Just in case MrLinky goes down, here is my list of books. Go ask away!
Mine is up and here's the url in cas Mr. Linky decides to go on the fritz again. http://undercoverbooklover.blogspot.com/2009/06/weekly-geeks.html
If you have questions about powerboating or sailing - I'm no expert! But that's what I've been reading lately...

Happy Weekly Geeks!

I just finished one review based on the questions I received. The post, on Jane Eyre, can be found here.
A timely meme for me as I'm behind on reviews.
Here's my post.
I've posted some (very) long-winded answers. Did it early before it could fall out of my brain ...
I was curious if we were going to have a place to post links to our reviews. I've been asking questions on many people's sites, but being a forgetful slacker, I want to make sure I can see all of the replies.
I'm knew to all of this, so if there is something obvious I'm missing let me know. :)
Hi, this is my first Weekly Geeks so I hope a post it right and in the right place. I will list my books on my blog at

Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks,

Blood Water by Dean Vincent Carter

Very timely topic!
