Weekly Geeks #1: Discover New Blogs Week

The challenge for this week was to visit five new-to-me blogs and report back... I've enjoyed looking through what everyone else is thinking about and writing about and reading about, and here is my report!

Stephanie, at Confessions of a Book-a-holic, has a great post about the impact of book production on the environment. How many books are produced from each tree? Let's hear it for the library!!

Megan, at Leafing Through Life, posts about a couple of Laurie Halse Anderson books that she's read recently (Speak and Fever 1793). I agree with her enjoyment of both of these books and the two thumbs up for each.

Misa, at This Redhead Reads, posts about a sixth grade read-a-thon. I've never been much into the Danielle Steele thing, but I have fond memories of days spent reading and doing little else (my personal favorite reading hideout used to be my parents' bathtub with my pillow and favorite blanket added to make it a bit more comfy, of course!)

Melanie, at The Indextrious Reader, has posted several entries about poetry and National Poetry Month. I enjoy reading poetry, but am not terribly well read in the genre. Several of her suggestions look exciting, and I've added a number of them to my TBR list.

Wendy, at carabousmom, reviews Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook. I love reading cookbooks and am an adventurous cook (if not a great one...) and I really enjoyed this book when I found it at the library a couple of months ago. Also, I have complete admiration for anyone who can juggle as many challenges as she is!

There are lots of other blogs that were fun to read through- and my TBR list is growing by the minute. I guess it's a good thing that summer vacation is fast approaching!
