This week’s Weekly Geek challenge (courtesy of Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf) was pick a quote a day to post on your blog. The quotes could have themes, be favorite quotes, or be entirely random. I decided to do seven quotes from one of my favorite literature characters of all-time: Albus Dumbledore. [...]

Yesterday, I posted my Weekly Geek #16 interview with Christine of She Reads Books about Into the Land of Invisible Women. Today, I discovered that Christine is giving away a free copy of the book on her blog. And, although I covet this book myself, I thought I would add a little post about it [...]
This weeks Weekly Geek challenge (courtesy of Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf) was to pair up with another Weekly Geek and do book interviews. I was paired with Christine from She Reads Books. Interestingly enough, we both chose to interview each other about memoirs, written by female authors, exploring cultures vastly different [...]
It feels like forever since I’ve done Weekly Geeks! This weeks Weekly Geek challenge (courtesy of Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf) is to do a book photo tour. This seems particularly appropriate since I just moved to Madison and have been finding all sorts of new and interesting places to read around [...]
I am so excited to have questions to answer! I got quite a few comments on my Weekly Geeks #12 post from earlier this week. All of the questions related to Stardust are in a separate post from yesterday, found here. It’s a longer review of the book, more like a normal review, since Stardust [...]

In your blog, list any books you’ve read but haven’t reviewed yet. If you’re all caught up on reviews, maybe [...]
This weeks Weekly Geek challenge (courtesy of Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf) is about magazines. Right now, I don’t subscribe to any magazines, mostly because I can’t afford them and my living situation is in limbo. I did subscribe to The New Yorker awhile ago, but while I was in school I [...]
Last weeks Weekly Geeks was a blog scavenger hunt, which seemed really cool, but I just didn’t have the energy to put the time it required. I think I used that excuse for missing Weekly Geeks #6 too… Anyway, I’m really impressed with the bloggers that did it and got a lot of posts, that [...]
I skipped Weekly Geeks last week because I got super busy and just didn’t have time to catch up on reviews… lame, right? Anyway, I’m back on board for Week #7 of the Weekly Geek challenge (courtesy of Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf). This week, we’re challenged to do something with photos, [...]
