Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books. 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. 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.

I think this is a great idea.
I finally got around to reading the first book in the Unfortunate Events series. (gag)
My review this week is of a book I did not enjoy.
My review is an old book I never heard of until someone gave it to me, but well worth reading (and it was recently reprinted).
The Living End, a novel by Lisa Samson, just some quick thoughts on living without my own husband.
Hello. Jennifer at Snapshot suggested I link my review. A nice site that you have here.
Hi, Sherry, hope it’s allowed to link two reviews (which i just did). As a slow reader, I rarely get around to reading two books in a week, unless the second one is a kids’ book. The Christmas book has some nice take-away features and because its seasonal, just wanted to give it some timely exposure.
As always, I so appreciate this vehicle for giving a review more legs!
Hi Sherry,
I hope it’s ok that I submitted my Poetry Friday episode for the Saturday review today. Edwurd Fudwupper is just such a goood book I can’t resist.
Thanks for setting this up for us,

“A podcast about the Children’s Books we love and why we love them — recorded in our favourite coffee shop.”
Two books this week. Thanks for doing this!
I added mine – How Reading Changed My Life by Anna Quindlen.
Wow, Sherry! How Saturday Review of Books has grown!
I added Life is So Good. An excellent book, imo.
I added another review – one of a book I enjoyed.
Hello Sherry – I just added my review of The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak, which I thought was an amazingly poetic, and thought provoking book. Please check it out and thanks for setting this up. It’s awesome!
My review is on Playstation Nation – protect your child from video game addiction. I think it is an important read for parents of children who are interested in gaming.
Heading off now to read some reviews…:)
Anne Bradstreet: A Guided Tour of the Life and Thought of a Puritan Poet by Heidi Nichols is a great introduction to the works of America’s first published poet. Excerpts of her work are included in my review.
