It’s that time again. Let’s share some book reviews. Last Saturday’s Review of Books went well for the first week: seventeen people posted reviews.
For the uninitiated, here’s how it works. Find a review on your blog posted sometime this week of a book you’re reading or a book you’ve read. The review doesn’t have to be a formal sort of thing. You can just write your thoughts on a particular book, a few ideas inspired by reading the book, your evaluation, whatever.
Now post a link here to the specific post where you’ve written your book review. Don’t link to your main blog page because this kind of link makes it hard to find the book review, especially when people drop in later after you’ve added new content to your blog. Please add only one book review per customer per week. (However, if your children, friends, orother family members have their own blogs and have written on a book, they are welcome to add their own link.) In parentheses after your name, add the title of the book you’ve written about. This addition will help people to find the reviews they’re most interested in reading.
Finally, follow the links to read other people’s book reviews for the week. You might discover some books to add to your list (or some books to avoid).
Auto-Linkies!! Powered by… Mister Linky’s Magical Widgets. As seen on all of the finest blogs!!
This kinda feels like one of those chains–send a dishtowel and 4 names to one person, receive 16 dishtowels…
I’ve “sent” my review–now waiting for more to pour in!
Is there supposed to be a Mr. Linky? I just posted a review/thoughts about the Five Love Languages in this post. I’ll come back later to see if I need to add my link up there.
Sherry, I don’t see the Linky box there either, though it was there when I entered my info and started writing my comment; then I was called away to the phone for awhile. After I returned and posted my comment, the Mr. Linky box disappeared.
Sorry if I screwed it up somehow!!
Here are some thoughts on “Where Is God When It Hurts” by Phillip Yancey:

I reviewed “From Forgiven to Forgiving” by Jay Adams here:

I’ve got thoughts on Michael Innes in general and Sheiks & Adders in particular at http://suitableformixedcompany.blogspot.com/2006/08/book-note-sheiks-adders-by-michael.html. (I’ll come back later and link to the Linky if it comes back.)
I linked to the Linky before it disappeared, but in case it doesn’t come back, I reviewed Katharine Weber’s Triangle last week.

Mr. Linky made my whole blog disappear…
If somebody would like to make this a “blogroll” kind of thing, I’d be up for that (I like things to put in my sidebar 😉

Today, I posted my review of a debut novel called “New Light” by Annette Gilson. http://www.brandywinebooks.net/?post_id=122
I wrote about my husband’s new book–A Meaningful World–at http://wittingshire.blogspot.com/2006/08/book-release-party-meaningful-world.html
OUch! I was out of town, and something happened to the Mr. Linky thng. I don’t know what.
I missed it this weekend, but it looks like you’ve got a good thing going – 13 links on the second time around! Congrats! We’ll try to make it to the party next week.
For posterity, since Mr. Linky lost it (and maybe it was my apostrophe that confused him–I’ll leave it out next time!), here’s the link to my review of Mama’s Bank Account:
