We’re taking a stroll through the archives in this edition of Weekly Geeks. Dewey asked us to check out some posts from other Weekly Geeks and feature them in a post of our own. So, here goes!
First, I stopped by Page After Page and looked at her Weekly Geeks #14 post. I loved all the photos of her family reading. It made me want to take more pictures of my guys when they’re getting their read on. I especially liked the mosaic she made and I hope she doesn’t mind me posting it here!
The next blogger I visited was Nymeth and her Weekly Geeks #7 post. This was another photo week (sensing a theme?), and I just about died when I saw this:
It’s no secret that I love cats and books, so a cat covered in books make me squeal with delight.
And then! I found a Weekly Geek who scrapbooks! Twiga took a photo of a 2-page layout all about reading for her Weekly Geeks #7 post. It’s so cute and it made me want to scan in the layout that I did of Corey “reading” at 7 months. I’ll try to remember to do that sometime soon.
Finally, here are links to a couple other WG participants:
It’s been a while since I’ve participated in Weekly Geeks. This week, Dewey asked us to write about what we need to catch up on. Here are all the bloggery things I need to do:
- Do Weekly Geeks!
- Write a review about The Girls
- Finish my Disney posts
- Figure out what to write about on my “off” days
- Catch up on my Google Reader
I think that’s all…
This week, Dewey asked us to post photos related to authors and have our readers guess who they are! I could only answer a few of the questions, but here are mine anyway:
1. My favorite author:
2. Photo of the author of the book I’m currently reading:
6. A photo of the author of the book I’ve most recently finished:
Ok, these are probably too easy. Any guesses?
This week, Dewey asked us to make a list of books we’ve read but not reviewed. That would be all of them for me! Since this isn’t necessarily a book blog, I can’t promise I’ll review everything I read. However, if I really like a book (or maybe if I really hate one), I’ll try to at least mention it and write a tiny bit about it.
My list will begin, then, with the ones I am reading for the challenges. Don’t hurt yourself deciding which one to ask me about!!
1. Finding Fish
2. The Secret Life of Bees
WOAH! Long list, I know.
Here are the rules:
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 finish this week.
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. I’ll probably turn mine into a sort of interview-review. Link to each blogger next to that blogger’s question(s).
4. Visit other Weekly Geeks and ask them some questions!
For this week’s Weekly Geeks,
Dewey asked us to write about the magazines we read. I only subscribe to one magazine, so this was pretty easy for me!
1. Name of magazine.
New Beginnings.
2. Do you subscribe or just buy it now and then?
I receive my subscription as a part of my membership to La Leche League.
3. What’s your favorite regular feature in the magazine?
I enjoy reading the personal stories submitted by readers. To hear about all of the struggles that some women have had to overcome just to be able to breastfeed amazes and inspires me.
4. What do you think your interest in this magazine says about you?
My interest in this magazine further emphasizes the fact that I’m a die-hard lactivist.
5. How long have you been reading this magazine?
I’ve been reading them ever since I started attending LLL meetings in 2006, though I’ve only started receiving my own since November or December of 2007.
6. Is there any unique or quirky aspect to the magazine that keeps you reading?
The whole magazine is unique. I think that it’s probably the only magazine in the world dedicated to breastfeeding. Although my “baby” is two and potty-trained, he still nurses. Reading stories in New Beginnings about nursing toddlers provides me with a sense of support that I wouldn’t otherwise get.
