Many of you will have already seen the post entitled Sad News posted on Dewey’s blog by her husband. She passed away last Tuesday. I can’t pretend that I will miss Dewey in the same way that her family and (offline) friends will. But I respected and admired her, and I will miss her posts, [...]

Weekly Geeks 16: Book Interviews!
For this Weekly Geek, Kim from Sophisticated Dorkiness and I interviewed each other about books we had recently read. I asked her about All the Fishes Come Home to Roost, by Rachel Manija Brown, and she interviewed me about In the Land of Invisible Women, by Qanta Ahmed, MD. - - - - - - [...]
More Questions, More Answers
I hope I finish this Weekly Geek up soon, because eventually I’m going to run out of titles. Heather commented that I’d love to read a review of Colbert’s book. The one she’s referring to is Stephen Colbert’s I Am America (And So Can You). It was … amusing. I didn’t once laugh out loud, [...]

Weekly Geeks 3: Childhood Books

Weekly Geeks 1
So there’s this thing that Dewey is doing, called Weekly Geeks, and I can’t explain it very well, so just click here. Anyway, this week’s Weekly Geeks theme is Discover New Blogs Week! (I think the exclamation mark is mandatory). Here are five blogs I’ve discovered & enjoyed: Stuff as Dreams are Made On (Chris). [...]
