Here’s how it works, friends, Romans, and countrymen. 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’re reviewing. This addition will help people to find the reviews they’re most interested in reading.
Thanks to everyone for reviewing, blogging, and linking.

Four Fathers was an inspiring read for me. I hope you like it.
I finally have a review to add, Sherry! It’s kind of a long post and the review is at the end. Thanks!
‘morning, Sherry. The post is about the JCO bio, Invisible Writer. Enjoy a terrific weekend.
This is a review of Atlas Shrugged and how I came to read the book. It also has my views on staying away from books due to fear.
i tried reviewing light reading this week. Maybe next week I will have something substantial.
Enjoy your weekend.
I added my review of The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien.
My whole family has been enjoying The art of looking sideways.
I reviewed The Blue Castle by Lucy Maud Montgomery after revisiting the book several years after my first reading of it.
Loved this funny, funny picture book and so did my five-yer-old son. He totally got the joke and kept asking “is that true”?
I remembered to get my review in just under the wire. Thanks!
Didn’t quite know where to stick this comment – but after reading your “Lost” post and your mention of Bill Bryson, I wanted to recommend to you his book “A Walk in the Woods”. It’s about his hike on the Appalachian trail. His writing is definitely the laugh-out-loud while you’re reading kind!
I boo-booed and titled my book review for the book I am currently reading (Every Mother is a Daughter) instead of for the book I actually reviewed (1000 White Women). Any chance you can fix it? And major apologies to everyone else, sorry for the brain lapse.
My thoughts started branching off after reading Brookner’s Look at Me…
