Weekly Geeks #13 - Author Photos

I haven't done the last couple of Weekly Geeks. Last week it was because I was too scared to reveal exactly how many half written posts I really have sitting in draft! This week's looks like fun although I really don't like having to narrow my choices down to just one or two authors because I have lots and lots of favourites!

This week’s theme is a sort of meme. (Hey, I rhymed!) Your basic challenge is to post author photos.

Using the meme-like list below, post photos of authors in response. Please feel free to skip any you don’t like. You’re also free (encouraged!) to add your own, but if you do that, please be sure to indicate which are yours, so that people can credit you if they use yours.

But don’t put words/names with your photos. Ask your readers to guess your answers! If you have a book to give away, you may want to offer a prize, maybe draw a name from those readers who guess correctly.

1. Photos of your favorite author(s).
2. Photo(s) of the author(s) of the book(s) you’re currently reading.
3. Photo(s) of any author(s) you’ve met in person (even very briefly).
4. A youtube of (an) author(s) you’ve heard speak.
5. Any photo(s) you may have of yourself with an author.
6. A photo of the author of the book you’ve most recently finished.
7. Photos of the hottest author(s)!


First things first....how do you say meme? I always say it as mem, just like men but with an m at the end instead.

Leave your guesses in the comments! I think that there is probably only one tricky ones in this lot of photos.


1. Photos of my favourite authors. I decided to limit it to just three but there are loads more that I could have added in here.



2. Photo(s) of the author(s) of the book(s) you’re currently reading. (Just to make it a little more challenging I haven't updated my Currently Reading section!)




3. Photo(s) of any author(s) you’ve met in person (even very briefly). This author really should have been under the first question but there is a danger of her being the answer to just about every question!


4. A youtube of (an) author(s) you’ve heard speak.

It's not on Youtube but here is a link to an interview on Australian television from last year. The interviewer obviously hasn't read the book or the interview notes, but never mind!

5. Any photo(s) you may have of yourself with an author. Have I told you lately how much I HATE having my photo taken? I am putting this up but only because I have to! Nice red face...it was a hot night and we had had some wine as well.



6. A photo of the author of the book you’ve most recently finished.


7. Photos of the hottest author(s)!

Errmm. Gonna pass on this one!

  1. I'm guessing the first photo is Diana Gabaldon since she has books around her with her name on them.

    A lot of the others look familiar but I don't know why any of them are. And if you want to see a bad photo go and check out my "with an author" photo. It's truly horrible. :-)

  2. Good guess Kerry! Maybe noone likes to have their photos taken.

  3. I think I recognize your third favourite author, but I can't put my finger on her name at the moment...

  5. I don't recognize anyone, but the last author for #2 is the same author Kerry at Saving My Sanity picked...I think!

  6. Thank you so much for including the picture of you and the author you met (I'm curious as to who she is, too). It's nice to get to see what you look like. I think you look awfully darn happy to me. :)

  7. What really strikes me here is how ALL of these authors have terrific smiles!

  8. I'm thinking the third pic in your favorite authors is Linda Howard.
