Weekly Geeks #1

I joined a weekly blogging challenge.  You can find out all the details and sign up here.  Basically, a blog assignment is posted on Saturday and you have a week in which to complete the task.  The details for this week are below:

This week is Discover New Blogs Week!

1. Look through the list of blogs on the Mr Linky below and see if you can find five that are new to you. If you can’t, find as many new blogs as possible and then some you don’t read super regularly.

2. Visit those new blogs. A comment would be nice; people like comments.

3. When you’re ready, at some point by Friday if you want to be included in the blurbs next week, write a post in your blog featuring those new blogs you visited.

4. Don’t forget to come back here and leave a link to your post, so that I can get it into the blurbs! (The link to the post is here).

Whenever I discover new blogs, I wish that I could have an extra few hours every day just to devote to internet surfing.  It was a tough decision, but these are the five that I chose to feature:

  • A Girl Walks into a Bookstore: I really like the title of this blog and found (in her own words) that it features: "not just reviews of what I've read, but news about what's going to be published and/or what I'm looking forward to reading in the near future.
  • Everyday Reads: Her writing style is engaging and informative.
  • Passion for the Page: I really liked the title of this blog and the writer seems to finish a new book every day.
  • Naked Without Books: The title of this blog made me smile.  I was excited to discover that the blogger resides in South Korea.  She has two weekly features called Wishlist Wednesday and Flashback Friday which I find especially endearing.
  • Bookworms and Tea Lovers: I fit into both of the categories described in the blog name. The author resides in the Netherlands.  The books she selects seem to have an international focus. As I was looking around her site, I discovered that we are in a challenge together.

Samantha: We are sharing the Orbis Terrarum Challenge. I have not completed a single book for that challenge yet, but I remain hopeful that I can finish.
Katherine: I agree this is a good way to insert live into our blogs.
Lightheaded: My pleasure. I am looking forward to reading more of your blog.

howdy! I am in this geek thing, too but have yet to go out and 'discover' - had to visit my favorites first...

and to see if I can find some blogs different than you - this is going to get crazy.

It is going to get crazy. There is so much overlap.
