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.
Thanks to everyone for reviewing, blogging, and linking.

I mused on The Speed of Dark, by Elizabeth Moon, here. The book won the 2003 Nebula award, from the Science Fiction Writers of America. It poses an interesting question, namely should you undergo a procedure to make you more “normal,” if it will change who “you” are. It also ponders on God’s will in such a case.
Wow, I’m such an early bird. Enjoy the review of the new Mo Willems book, Edwina.
My thoughts (really brief) about this book, written by a college student who went “undercover” as a homeless person to see what it was like.
Here’s mine. But I forgot to include the title (Time Out for Happiness). There’s no way I can change that I suppose?
Oh, there we are. I think it’s fixed now.
Yet another lesson (will I ever learn?) that no book is a sure thing.
Forgot to comment earlier, but I linked to a review of Shannon Hale’s “The Goose Girl”, which is excellent. Thanks!
I linked to a review of “The Heights, the Depths and Everything In Between,” by Sally Neweth.
How very cool! I linked to a recent picture book review, Please Say PLease: Penguin’s Guide to Manners.
