So the first Weekly Geeks was a huge hit, congratulations again to Dewey for her fabulous idea! I have explored a lot of new blogs, met a lot of new Geeks and added a lot more books to my reading list!Also...I couldn't choose which button I liked best, so am posting my three favourites today...I'll eventually whittle them down to one!
So...week 2! Borrowed from an idea from Darla at Books and other thoughts, this weeks geeks is to link other people's reviews for the same book to your review. This is a fabulous way of not only reading one review for a book, but several, and thus getting a balanced viewpoint, and hopefully making your reading selection decisions easier! Sign up to Mr Linky if you are participating, and post again later in the week about how its all going.
I am going to trial the idea, and since my blog is so new, I am happy to post links to other reviews for any of the books I have reviewed so far, as well as any future reviews. I have set up a new email address (see sidebar for link), so please feel free to email me the link to your reviews, and I will pop them under mine! We'll see how this goes! I imagine this could be quite a success if a lot of people join in!

The buttons are all great, aren't they? I had trouble picking too.
You may have a new blog, but I did fine a review of yours that we share in common. Your review of the J.D. Salinger story as it is the first story in Nine Stories. I will be adding a link to your review later tonight.
Happy reading and blogging.
I've saved some of your reviews, but only because I wanted to read them after I read that book. So right now we don't have any matching! If you're still doing this by the time I get those books completed, I'll give you a poke for us to exchange!
I've reviewed Persuasion (http://astripedarmchair.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/persuasion-thoughts/). I'd love for you to leave a link in my comments to your review as we can cross-link!
Aren't the buttons adorable? I didn't make them myself; I wouldn't even know how. Buttons just poured in by magic! There's actually one button maker I lost track of so I couldn't credit him. He made the calendar one. I can picture his face on his blog photo, but not the name of his blog. I feel so bad. As soon as I run into it, I'll credit him right away.
I see you already linked to other reviews on your Salinger post! So thrilled with everyone's enthusiasm about this. Thank you for participating.
Magic buttons..best kind!!! I've been given so many links already, think this may be another hit!
I love the buttons!!! It's hard to choose just one! This week's theme is great... sounds like fun too. :)
