Thanks to Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer and her Works for Me Wedneday meme, I just had an idea for a new meme or blog round-up or something. Anyway, I’m going to try it out and see how it works. Saturdays are slow days around the blog world, but Saturday would be a great day for catching up on book reviews by various bloggers that were posted during the week. So, this Saturday, if you have a review of a book that you posted sometime this week, and you would like to get more attention for that book review, come to Semicolon and add your link to the Mr. Linky thing-a-ma-jig that will be in my post entitled Saturday Review. Only one book review per blog per week. Then, go read everybody else’s book reviews. Because we all need to add to our list of books to read –or not read.
Oh, let’s try to put the name of the book or an abbreviated title in parentheses after your name so that people will know what book they’re going to read about. It seems to be working for Shannon, but she says no more than four words in the parentheses.
Write those reviews (or book thoughts, if you prefer to keep it informal). See you Saturday.
I’m feeling vulnerable. What if I throw a Saturday Review party and no one comes? Leave me a comment if you plan to participate this Saturday.

I will try to participate this week. Life is on fast forward right now, so if I don’t get to it, it’s not because I dont want to, it’s because time got away from me.
This is a great idea! I had sworn off memes for the rest of the summer, but I really want this to take off! I’m going to promote it on my blog.
I will, but with my life as hectic as it is it may not be every week…
I think it’s a great idea. Don’t know if I’ll be able to chime in this weekend or not, but I will participate in the future.
Great idea, Sherry.
I’ve been gone visiting family…but I’ll write one for next week!
Best of luck. And thanks. As far as writing a review, I’m not sure about this week (I’ll try) but count me in for down the road.
I will!
Great idea! I’ll try to work on it today as well. I always seem to have 15 books going and none finished, but I did actually finish a couple recently.
And my 11yo posted about a book that she loves yesterday. Are kids invited too?
I will always play if it involves books. I hope I will be allowed to submit my only review this week (what have I been doing with myself?) if includes the word “condom.” Sorry, but there you have it. I guess it is better than having a blog party and no one comes…isn’t it?
Haven’t written a review this week (haven’t really blogged much this week…), but I frequently post book reviews, so if you continue this – I’ll participate whenever I can!
