Saturday Review of Books: December 13, 2014

“She read all sorts of things: travels, and sermons, and old magazines. Nothing was so dull that she couldn’t get through with it. Anything really interesting absorbed her so that she never knew what was going on about her.” ~What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge

SatReviewbuttonWelcome to the Saturday Review of Books at Semicolon. Here’s how it usually works. Find a book review on your blog posted sometime during the previous week. The review doesn’t have to be a formal sort of thing. You can link to your thoughts on a particular book, a few ideas inspired by reading the book, your evaluation, quotations, whatever.

Then on Friday night/Saturday, you post a link here at Semicolon in Mr. Linky 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.

After linking to your own reviews, you can spend as long as you want reading the reviews of other bloggers for the week and adding to your wishlist of books to read. That’s how my own TBR list has become completely unmanageable and the reason I can’t join any reading challenges. I have my own personal challenge that never ends.

  1. My first link for Under the Stars did not work for some reason. I put the corrected link in next but am using my iPad and didn’t see a way to remove it. Sorry ’bout that….:-)

  2. I’ll be hosting a podcast about A Christmas Carol, discussing the book and several film adaptations. My link today is to a post about adaptations in general and A Christmas Carol adaptations in particular. Love to get some feedback on the book or your favorite adaptations.
