There is no defense against criticism except obscurity. —Joseph Addison
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.
Sharing The Pact this week. What an inspiring book and a must-read, imo, for high school students. These three men shed some light on the importance of good peer pressure and down-the-road, rather than here-and-now, focus for high school students.
Thanks for your faithfulness in posting this week by week. ‘The Call’ is a different type of book than I usually review – but it’s one of those keepers that has the potential to be life-changing.
Now Merry Christmas to you and your family, Sherry!
Thanks Sherry. Lots of great links as usual.
I just read “Christmas in Harmony”, a delightful seasonal book.
Mine’s posted.
It’s not really a book review, but I couldn’t resist including it. It’s a list of 21 ways to give a book this holiday season, pairing books with something “fun.”
This week we talked about “Nutcracker Noel” — an entertaining year-round favourite about the magic of a carefully crafted perspective.
I just finished reading The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke and found out some additional info on some of her other (up and coming) works.
Sherry, just wanted to wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas! And here’s to more book reading and reviews in 2007!
Mine is a memoir about adoption and AIDS in Africa.
