Dewey Week
Hello everyone!
It is the first week of May, spring is in the air; so I decided to make this lovely first full week of May 'Dewey Week'. I was looking at my list of books still to review and I decided to see if there were any that Dewey had read that I didn't know about. It turns out that I have nine books in common with her still to review. I might double up on two days. Anyway, so the week of Dewey reviews will begin May 3 and run until the 9th. Then, on the 10th I will do a book-coveting post; as that is Debi's mini-challenge for this month. I have had some major blogging-block lately, so I am hoping the letter format will be more inspiring for my first week back!
The Books Are:
Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: The Frightening New Normalcy of Haying Your Body by Courtney E. Martin
The Plain Janes by Cecil Castellucci & Jim Rugg
The Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornby
Gossamer by Lois Lowry
Nation by Terry Pratchett
Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer

I am so sorry, but I turned anonymous commenting off. I have had it from the very beginning, but that is how the spam is getting by my spam filter at the moment. If it is a big deal I will turn it back on and moderate all comments. I also changed moderation from older than 14 days to older than 7.

ReplyDeleteStaci: I liked all three of those, and the reviews are all scheduled!
Chris: I am glad you like the idea!
Alice: Gossamer was a great book! One of my favourites of the bunch!
You haven't read Life as We Knew it yet? Good book. Didn't rock my world like it did a lot of people and it was kind of frightening. But still...a good read.
ReplyDeleteStephanie: I read it. I just hadn't reviewed it, yet!
ReplyDeleteAh, Dewey Week - that sounds great! I can't believe I still haven't even gotten to any of my Dewey challenge reads. Yikes. I'm still looking forward to them though so I'm not losing hope on the challenge.
ReplyDeleteIliana: For me it is turning out that books I am deciding to read anyway, Dewey read. My list could be a lot longer...
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool idea! Going over the books I've read it's amazing how many were ones I'd added to my TBR because of Dewey's reviews - and they're not even on my list for the Dewey reading challenge lol :)
ReplyDeleteJoanne: I was surprised how many books I had read were Dewey books too!
