This weeks Weekly Geeks, neatly fits in to a couple of challenges this week, June’s Deweys Mini-Challenge and Natasha’s Bloggiesta Weekend.

It’s a revival of one of the most popular original Weekly Geek challeges:

1. In your blog, list any books you’ve read but haven’t reviewed yet.

2. Ask your readers to ask you questions about any of the books they want.

3. Later, take whichever questions you like from your comments and use them in a post about each book.

4. Visit other Weekly Geeks and ask them some questions!

Visit the Weekly Geeks page to sign up (or visit other participents!), in the meantime feel free to ask me questions about any of the following books:

  1. Artimis Fowl and the Time Paradox by Eion Colfer
  2. The General  -  CHERUB #10 by Robert Muchamore
  3. Fun Home by Alison Beschel
  4. The Pilgrims of Rayne – Pendragon #8 by D. J. Machale
    The Quillan Games – Pendragon #7 by D. J. Machale
    The Rivers of Zadaa – Pendragon #6 by D. J. Machale
  5. Midnight Alley – Morganville Vampires #3 by Rachel Caine
    Feast of Fools – Morganville Vampires #4 by Rachel Caine
  6. The Plain Janes by Cecil Castellucci & Jim Rugg

So, what would you like to know about any of the above? (and if you don’t want to miss out on the resulting reivews when I post them, then why not subscribe my feed!)

    The Plain Janes sounds like an interesting title. Is this chick lit? What is the plot centered around?

    I have the entire Morganville Vamps series sitting here waiting to be read. What’s a good reason for me to make it my next read?

    Do you plan on reading ‘Janes in Love’?

    What is it about the Morganville Vampire series that keeps you reading?

    Do you recommend the Pendragon series? Why?

    The blurb on Artemis Fowl says something about Fairies. Do fairies figure largely in the story? It sounds like the book is probably written to be funny. Was is humorous? Have you read other Artemis Fowl books? I’ll be curious to see your review on this.

    I read Fun Home and overall did not have a high interest buy-in. I think that I was one of the few who didn’t adore the GN. Were you impressed?

    (I have the Plain Janes on my list for this week. Can’t wait.)

    I’m not really familiar with any of these titles. What sort of vampire lore is the Morganville Vampires series-funny, romantic, horror, other?

    I don’t really read any series. Do you think one should? And do the books hold independently?

    The Plane Janes: Did you like it. What kind of readers would go for it? Where is it set and what period of time?

    I gave up on the Artemis Fowl series. How does the latest one compare the earlier books? My post is here.

    I just read The Plain Janes. I loved it, but I thought it ended way too soon! What did you think? Are you planning on reading the sequel?

    What was your favourite part of Fun Home?

    I haven’t read any of those! And I’ve only ever heard of the first and last. So…tell me abut the Morganville Vampires. What kind of vampires are they? Young, old, sexy, scary…

    What other comics of books did The Plain Janes remind you of? Kind of, “if you like X, then you’ll like the Plain Janes”?

    Did all the literary quotations in Fun Home seem natural to you? Or forced?

    It has taken me a long time but I finally reviewed The End of Mr. Y, the book you asked about in my Weekly Geeks ‘Catching up on reviews’ post. You can find it at Graasland!

    I am very sorry for having just a weak answer to your question! :(
