- In your blog, list any books you’ve read but haven’t reviewed yet. If you’re all caught up on reviews, maybe you could try this with whatever book(s) you finish this week.
- Ask your readers to ask you questions about any of the books they want. In your comments, not in their blogs. Most likely, people who will ask you questions will be people who have read one of the books or know something about it because they want to read it.
- Later, take whichever questions you like from your comments and use them in a post about each book. Link to each blogger next to that blogger’s question(s).
- Visit other Weekly Geeks and ask them some questions!
I was considering not doing this one, because the whole gimmick with my blog is that I never get behind on reviews, writing them up as soon as I finish the book. However, I can do it for a current book, and since M picked up a hold that came in yesterday, I figured that would work as well as any. It was this one (I was SO excited):
I picked it up last night and couldn’t put it down. (I’m almost done.) I’ll probably finish the book tomorrow, and write my review sometime after that. So, since I’m practically the last person on earth to read this one, have at it: question away… I’ll do my best to answer them when I write up the review.
The Book Nut 
Does this book seem typically YA, or could it be classified as a novel for adults with a younger protaganist?

I haven’t read this book yet, so you are NOT the last person to read it. It looks wonderful. My question would be: Can you sum up the life lesson to be learned from this book in a sentence or two?Going to add this to my TBR list right now! 🙂

I’ve been dying to read this book, and I recently won it from Dewey, so I haven’t really questiosn to ask (I wouldn’t spoil myself)… but please tell me, is this as good as people keep saying?

I haven’t read this one yet either, but I can’t wait to.So my question – Is this a book that you would recommend to the average 13+ teenager? Or would you say that it depends on the maturity level of the child?I ask this because as YA fiction becomes so popular with older readers, it seems that the content is becoming more adult also.

Ooh, I recently read this one, so I can ask all sorts of questions! The problem is, can I ask questions that won’t require you to give spoilers? That’s not so easy. When Jenna struggles with the ethical issues she faces, did you find yourself strongly taking one side or another, or did you find yourself unable to really put yourself in that position, or how did you react if in neither of the ways I’ve suggested?What are some of the qualities you liked or disliked in the grandmother character? The boyfriend character? The neighbor character?

I'm interested in the technique and art of storytelling itself so anything along that line would interest me. Such as any of these for example:How was Point-of-View handled? Was there a single POV character or did it alternate among two or more. Was it always clear whose eyes and mind were filtering?How was language used to set tone and mood?Was the prose dense or spare? Were sentences generally simple or complex?How was metaphor used? Were associations fresh or did they tend toward cliche? Did they add to your understanding of the theme?What was the central or organizing theme?How does the title relate to the story? Was it fitting?>>>>BTW I'm hosting a book giveaway this week. Four copies of Still Summer by Jacquelyn Mitchard. Four chances to enter until Saturday 3PM PST.
