Weekly Geeks #2 May 3, 2008

This week’s topic for Weekly Geeks is, in a nutshell, to display other bloggers’ reviews on your site. I love this idea because, well for one, it gives everyone more exposure, which I know we all appreciate, and for two, it means you can go to one person’s blog and see several differing opinions of the same book (or maybe several of the same opinions). I will be accepting links to reviews of books I have read from here on out, just leave me a comment and I’ll edit the post to add your review.

For a list of books I have read this year (since I started bloggin) see the Books Read in 2008 tab at the top. I’d be happy to add reviews to any post I’ve made thus far.

I’ll also be adding a comment on the sidebar alerting people new to the blog of this excellent and fun policy.

I think I’m going to have to jump on the Weekly Geeks bandwagon, although I haven’t decided whether to do retroactive linking: I’m impressed that you’re willing to! Of course, I had to go look at all of the books you’ve read, and I’ve reviewed Never Let Me Go (http://astripedarmchair.wordpress.com/2007/02/24/in-cold-blood-thoughts/), Cane River (http://astripedarmchair.wordpress.com/2007/06/20/cane-river-thoughts/) and In Cold Blood (http://astripedarmchair.wordpress.com/2007/02/24/in-cold-blood-thoughts/). I agree w/ you about the writing style of Cane River, and I had a lot of problems getting into In Cold Blood as well! I think we have similar reading tastes. (Except I’ve only read one Picoult, and I’m not a fan)

You knew this was coming

Nineteen Minutes review: http://bookclubclassics.com/Blog/2007/11/18/nineteen-minutes/

My Housekeeping review is too informal… Thanks to this challenge, I’m really raising the bar on my future reviews!

Thanks!

No common reviews, but I did add you to the blogroll. Thanks for letting me know.
Also, I will probably review The Spirit Catches You . . . tomorrow so we can crosslist then?
Thanks.
