Weekly Geeks 23 | Freestyle – help me review Lord of the Flies

Weekly Geeks 23 | Freestyle – help me review Lord of the Flies

Image via Wikipedia This week, every participant gets to choose one of the previous Weekly Geeks themes to repeat. I think it’ll be a lot of find seeing what everyone chooses. It’ll give me an idea of what the most popular themes have been, and it’ll give everyone else a break from seeing almost identical posts on the blog of all the WG participants.

Weekly Geeks | Photos Week

Weekly Geeks | Photos Week

This week Dew has challenged us all to post a photo – I figured since Blue Archipelago is all about books that it should be a photo of books – so I’m killing two birds with one stone and am posting the books I am planning to complete for the Summer Reading challenge (yep – I’m signing up for another one!)
