Weekly Geek 26 – Visit New Book Blogs! and find something in common, link it up, make new friends…
(Please visit Dewey to find other geekers…)
1. Using the WeeklyGeeks category here in my blog, find 5 Weekly Geeks you don’t know. The easiest way is probably to look at the Mr Linkies in my weekly Saturday posts.
2. Visit each of your 5 new blogpals and snoop around their blogs to find at least one thing you have in common.
3. In your blog, write a post, linking to your 5 new blogpals, about what you have in common with them.
4. Come back and sign Mr Linky.
5. As you run across other Weekly Geek posts (or deliberately seek them out) if you see anyone mentioned who has something in common with you, pay them a visit.
FIVE NEW-TO-ME BOOK BLOGS:
Marineko: Dreaming Out Loud – I love postcards, too! Although, I really don’t have a collection. I just like mail and love that postcards cost less to send. I do make my own sometimes, and am attracted to those stands in bookstores and tourist traps that have funky, funny and unique postcards. I try to mail postcards to my next-door neighbor kids when I travel to thank them for collecting my mail and taking out the trash. (seems we always travel on trash day!) Marineko? If you would like a postcard from my next travel states: Nebraska, KCMO, Arkansas or where I live: Massachusetts, let me know…
Sherri at Just Books! – Although Sherri and I don’t have much in common at FIRST GLANCE – we aren’t participating in any of the same challenges, etc., we obviously do share a love for reading! AND reading memoirs/biographies. I’m impressed that she said she didn’t even really like Sinatra but went ahead and read a book about him. Her enthusiasm for the Library Challenge is making me think I should join this… Then we would be reading for the same challenge!
Book Dads – I can’t say I have much in common here (I’m not a dad) but I think this is a tremendous resource blog for dads who read to their kids. And I can always get good ideas for books for my nieces and nephews. We obviously share the enthusiasm for Weekly Geeks, and that has to count for something, too… Nice to meet you, Book Dads!
Terri’s Reading, Writing and Retirement – Not sure (I’m sorry!) if I’ve ever visited the blog but I know FER-SURE that I’ve seen Terri’s lovely smile in comments at other places! [maybe you've just changed your blog since you are NEWLY retired?!?! congrats on that, how's it going? ] I love that Terri reads quite a lively mix of books – not all recently published… We share quite a few recent reads (ie The Heart is a Lonely Hunter) and I am just about to embark on The Road over the holiday (something to REALLY make me feel grateful for my life?!)
I Like To Be Here When I Can – Jeannie and I love dogs! Best wishes to Dixie for a full recovery. This is not just a book blog – recipes! recycling ideas! I got lost over there and will be back.
Happy Weekly Geeking Everyone!
(also, if you happen to visit here and end up linking to me, pls come back and let me know – because the WordPress’ linking notification is out of whack… thx.)
Nice to meet you too!
Thanks for visiting us.
You bet! Welcome to Weekly Geeking!
Hi, thanks for coming by
I’d love to trade cards! When I read that you liked postcards too, I was going to offer to send you some, then I read your offer to send me some, haha.
I have a couple of cards from Massachusetts, I think, but none from the other states you mentioned. I could send you Malaysian postcards! (I also have non-touristy cards like Blythe or Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies, etc., if you want them)
GREAT! I’ll be sending you an email; we’ll xchg snailmail addr.
That was fun! I hopped over to all 5 blogs. I can see why you like them.
oh how NICE of you! (I think I was at YOUR blog leaving you a comment when you were here leaving ME a comment. Isn’t that fun when that happens?
I like the new header…does it have some deep meaning?
Uh, no. No deep meaning. I was at a real estate tour of homes that the area agents do sometimes and this car was sitting around – I just liked it…
Hi!
Thank you listing me as one of your 5 to visit. Thanks for stopping by my place. Take Care!!
Sherrie
You are quite welcome, and thank YOU!
Thank you for the mention. I’m truly glad that you enjoy my blog.
What else do you like besides dogs and book? I really enjoy meeting new people. I hope we’ll get the chance to know each other better.
P.S. Dixie’s doing great- she sends lots of love for saying that you like dogs.
