Okay, technically I am not a weekly Geek, just I an occasional Geek. I have been finding many of the tasks too time consuming. I just don’t want to give up that much free time that I could use to read books.
This weeks challenge was a good one for me! This week’s theme is Challenges.
1. If you participate in any challenges, get organised! Update your lists, post about any you haven’t mentioned, add links of reviews to your lists if you do that, go to the challenge blog if there is one and post there, etc.
2. If you don’t participate in any challenges, then join one! There’s a good selection of possibilities over on my right hand sidebar (scroll down) where I list those I participate in. There’s also A Novel Challenge, a blog that keeps track of all sorts of reading challenges.
3. Towards the end of the week, write a wrap-up post about getting your challenges organised OR if you’re joining your first challenge, post about that any time during the week. Once you have your post up, come back and sign Mr Linky with the link to the specific post, not just to your blog.
This last week I have been working on this. What I plan to do here, is to list all of the challenges I am in and what my progress is.
