I'm Back... (and a Weekly Geeks' Post)!

Hello, everyone! I am back from my vacation!

We had a wonderful time in Perth, Australia. The weather there was quite hot and dry, since they are having summer at the moment. And due to this, I am more tanned than before, which is something I have been trying to avoid but just could not help with it.

The farmstay at The River Retreat was really a great experience to us, and viewing those luscious globes of grapes at the vineyard just made me happy and drooling at the same time. I will share my experiences and post some pictures about my trip at a later date, since I have not uploaded any of the pictures yet but I did manage to unpack all our luggage and done the laundry though. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

For our second Weekly Geeks of the new year and our second post without our founder Dewey, Joanne of The Book Zombie has these questions:

For those who have been with the group, either from the start or joined within recent months, what does being a member mean to you? What do you enjoy about the group? What are some of your more memorable Weekly Geeks that we might could do again? What could be improved as we continue the legacy that Dewey gave us?

For those just joining us, why did you sign up for Weekly Geeks? What would you like to see here?

One of the things I always admire about Dewey is her enthusiasm and her efforts in building the bookblog community. Honestly, to-date I could not think of anyone who is able to do this much better than her, yet. To me, particpating in the Weekly Geeks means more about anwering the questions (although I think they are great questions and not to mention so much fun!), it is the exploring and meeting new bookbloggers that make it more lively and interesting. I especially like Dewey's idea about discovering other bookblogs and posting about them (be it books and authors we like, or even share some pictures about our TBR pile and bookshelves). I think this is both a wonderful and an innovative way of learning more about other bloggers, don't you think so?

I am glad that Weekly Geeks continues, and I think this is a great way of paying tribute to Dewey. (Keep it up, Jill!)
