Geeking...Week 1

Loved, loved, loved Dewey's theme for kick-off week! *Visit at least 5 fellow participants that you don't already know.*

I decided to spread my joy out and visit someone new each day. Instead of just starting at the beginning or the end of the list, I just closed my eyes and raced mousie around and randomly clicked. System seemed to work...I found a bunch of great new blogs! (Of course, I'm guessing I would have found that no matter which Geeks I visited.)

Here's how my week went:

Saturday:
The Biblio Brat. Yep, it was immediately confirmed what a fabulous idea Dewey had concocted. Day one of theme one...and I've already found a wonderful new blog to read!

I could tell from the very post I read that she has her priorities straight...she mentioned three of the major food groups (cheddar cheese, tart apples, and Hersheys bars!).

And I totally loved her ratings system!

Sunday:
Trish's Reading Nook. Okay, what could be better? I head to her blog and what do I immediately lay my eyes upon...pictures of her bookshelves! You just gotta love that, don't you?!!

She also has a bunch of book reviews I really want to get back over there to read as soon as I have a chance. You know, books I've been curious about, or ones I've been thinking about reading. (Because one's TBR pile can never be too big, can it?)

Monday:
Darla D. at Books and Other Thoughts. Well, if my visit over there is any indication, I think I am going to love, love, love her blog! It's not always easy to find books for my semi-reluctant reader (that would be Master Gray), but first post there netted me a good find for him. And from the looks of things, her reviews are going to be adding books to Annie's and my wish lists as well!

Tuesday:
Reader Rabbit. Two for the price of one here! A book blog written by sisters...isn't that cool? And the post that popped up when I headed over there had two for the price of one reviews, too! The Goose Girl and Enna Burning, which was fun since I just finished up Enna Burning as well.

Wednesday:
Natasha at Maw Books. Lots and lots and lots of great book reviews. Most recent post was a review of Sirens and Spies, a book I'd never heard of, but had me immediately intrigued. Already checked our library for it, because even I don't get around to reading it, I can tell it's one Annie would love.

I also noticed she's currently reading Horns & Wrinkles, as am I. Anxious to see what she has to say about it. I haven't gotten far yet, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

Okay, I was going to keep this going through Friday, but everyone else seems to have their posts up already and it's making me feel like such a slacker that I guess I'll just go ahead and put this up. Thanks Dewey! I think this has been a great first week!
