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, quotations, 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, or other 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.
Every week we’ve done this review round-up, I’ve found a couple of books to add to THE LIST. Please keep reading and blogging and linking.

You need to read Things Not Seen first.
Good morning, Sherry. I actually have a couple that may interest your readers this week, including today’s chapbook entry, but I chose an RDA for Berman’s Twilight of American Culture.
Best regards,

Sherry – Why does my submission appear twice?
Ops, I misread and entered the name of the book instead of my name.
Cool idea and implementation.
I’m impressed. This is a nice feature. I was able to delete my link which had the name of the book and then correctly submit with the blog name.
“Once I Ate a Pie” refers to the book title, not a personal confession. I just want to make that absolutely clear.
I once wanted to eat a pie. Unfortunately, I remembered I was supposed to share. 🙂
my link is for a travel memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert – “Eat, Pray, Love”
Glad to see that this Saturday book review idea of yours is catching on. I think it’s very cool! My submission for this week is a classic that I’ve always loved (The Velvet Room, by Zilpha Keatley Snyder). I do sneak in mentions of some other Snyder books, too.
Hello, coming to your blog through Veronica, who recommended that I add a link. Thanks!
Sherry: Thanks for giving us the opportunity to share. I added a book review of mine.
Blessings,
