Weekly Geeks is a weekly book blog community event where participating blogs complete a book- or blog-related activity posted and hosted by Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf. This week’s activity:
Step 1: Choose 3 Weekly Geeks, from any of the Mr Linkies in any previous Weekly Geeks, and explore their archives. Try to choose at least one Weekly Geek you don’t know well.
Step 2: Looking through some of their oldest posts, find at least one that you really like from each of the three blogs.
Step 3: Write a post featuring these 3 bloggers, linking to the posts that you enjoyed, with a short blurb.
Step 4: Visit the WG #22 posts of two other Weekly Geeks and link to their posts at the bottom of yours.
Step 5: Come back and sign Mr Linky with the url to your specific WG #22 post, not just your general blog url.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
I choose three bloggers that are completely new to me:
Everyday Reads – Lightheaded and I have similar readings tastes – mostly literary fiction with classics, YA, and graphic novels sprinkled in for flavor. I enjoyed reading through the archives and particularly found the review of Rebecca interesting because of the following insight:
Truth be told I like Rebecca, the deceased Mrs. de Winter. I may not like the choices she made in her brief life but in a way I can understand her cunning, not to mention the fact that she lived her life the way she wanted to, on her own terms and not dictated upon by others.
I wasn’t a fan of Rebecca, the character, when I read the book, but Lightheaded made me stop and think.
Literary Escapism – When I clicked over to Literary Escapism, I was immediately struck by the nice design. Though Jackie and I don’t have similar book tastes, we do have similar book OCD. In this post, she announced that she is doing her own personal book audit and updating her self-made database! A kindred spirit!
American Bibliophile – This site had me at “Authors Are the New Boy Bands.”

OOPS! I didn’t do #4, either! But YOU did – thanks for the linklove. (and! I just got down watching a MMOOOOOOVVIE for LitFlicks!! woo hoo. Review soon. someday. I’m a bit behind.)
Ah, thanks for the link! :) I’m excited about the three new bloggers I’ve “discovered.” It never fails to amaze me how many kindred spirits there are out there!
Hey! There’s nothing wrong with a little book OCD. :) Although, I also have that same database (but with the relevant fields) for our DVDs, CD, Comics (well, I’m working on this one), and our video games. So it’s not just books that I’m organized with.
Hello Jessica. Thank you for picking me for the Weekly Geeks archives.
Your comment to my uh, comment on Rebecca made my day.
