The third Weekly Geek task is to write about fond memories of childhood reading. I have written quite a few posts about books I loved as a child already (here’s a post where I mentioned several) so I thought I would do something a little different this time.

Weekly Geeks #3: Childhood reading
Sunday Salon: Hustvedt & Novik
Greetings, Saloners! I hope you all had a good week of reading. I know I did! I finished one very good novel, started another even better one, and had several library holds come in all at once, including an ILL — all of which were recommended by bloggers. :)
Two memes
Michelle at In The Louvre tagged me for two memes in the same post — so here goes!
6 things about me:
Last year (almost to the day!) I told you 8 things about me; now let’s see if I can come up with six more.
Weekly Geeks #2: Did you review it too?
This week’s challenge is to encourage other bloggers who have reviewed the same book you did to send you a link to their post; then you include those links at the bottom of your review. My first thought was: what a great idea! And my second thought was: what a housekeeping nightmare! I imagined myself compiling a list of all the books I’ve ever reviewed and posting them on a separate page. That would make it really easy for other bloggers to tell at a glance whether we have any in common. So I clicked on my own “reviews” category archive, and my goodness, what a mess.
Sunday Salon: mixed reviews
Greetings, Saloners! I hope you all had a good week of reading. Mine was mixed. I gave up in the middle of one book, which always makes me sad, but I started another that’s pretty fabulous so far. Here are the details:
Wondering what to read next?
I know, I know. Your TBR stack is teetering already. But on the off-chance that you’re at loose ends and don’t know what to read next, check out the Literature Map. You type in the name of an author and you get a visual representation of other authors that are (I guess) also liked by people who like that one. It’s endlessly fascinating to watch the authors’ names rearranging themselves on your computer screen.
