Weekly Geek WEEK TWELVE

This week’s Weekly Geek theme fits in nicely with the post I published earlier today (you’ll see it when you finish reading this one) and that is to ask for QUESTIONS for upcoming reviews!

So, if you want to know my thoughts on

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

and/or

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

please, do, ask away!  I will link back to your blog and say nice things about you in the upcoming resulting postings.    oh, and attempt to answer the questions, too.

One more note, I don’t think Dewey was guilty of being selfish, do you?    But she does seem to have one heck of a terrific husband…   Happy Moving Dewey!    Can’t wait to see the photos of books in their new home.

Teaser Post

I wanted to post something - anything!  yet the real world beckons and I must go to the grocery store.  

SO, I’m just giving you some heads up what I’ve read and what I intend to post on later.   soon.    someday.

1.    Inspired by Nymeth’s review of Pride & Prejudice, I want to return to The Handmaid’s Tale and give a Care-Review.   I’m not a professional, I’m just me and this new ‘me’ doesn’t want to back down from a challenge.   (Backing down from challenges is my usual way of handling things I don’t think I’ll be perfect at on the first attempt. I am most certainly NOT one of those people who when told I can’t do something, goes out and does just that. I’m more the type to say, “ok.” and then go find something else to do.)   

2.  Yesterday, while Hub caught two 3-4 pound largemouth bass and lost a few lures, I sat on the back of the boat and finished Neil Gaiman’s Stardust .   I will give this a proper Care-Review, too.

3.  I have the movie The Other Boleyn Girl and hope to watch it today.  

4.   Celebrate wtih me – I received my first book from bookmooch!   It is a paperback, slightly yellowed and musty Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie.    I have no timetable to get to this.   I have committed to a Rushdie for the 1% Challenge.

Happy Sunday and into Monday, y’all.


I prefer pi.
