A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it.” William Styron
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.

Thanks Sherry for always providing us with this great showcase every saturday! I put your book in the mail yesterday. Let me know if it gets to you okay. Enjoy!
Wow, I never cease to be amazed at the amount of reviews went I come to the site so early in the morning! 🙂 Thanks Sherry for doing this.
I reviewed C.S. Lewis’s “The Problem of Pain” and T.H. White’s second book in ‘The Once and Future King,’ “The Queen of Air and Darkness” this week. I forgot to write the title to the Lewis book after my name in link #32, so I added a third link that includes the title… So link #32 can be deleted. Sorry for being a link-hog!
Thank you! Lovely quote, as always.
Each week I come here, the community is growing–how fabulous! Two more graphic novels from me this week, both very good.
Thanks for hosting the Saturday Reviews each week. I enjoy reading others’ reviews and sharing some of mine occasionally.
I didn’t feel I should do a link to it above, since I haven’t seen the book – for the very good reason that it isn’t written yet – but… this week I ran across a request for input from an author writing a book with the working title of Preparing My Heart for Motherhood: A Shower of Wisdom to Treasure. And she’s asking for input from mothers. And since I know that a lot of your readers and reviewers are mothers… I hope you’ll forgive me being slightly off topic just this once.
I’m still reading the Newbery Award winners – Daniel Boone was the 1940 winner and the absolute *worst* book I’ve read for ages. Maybe forever. And I always liked Daniel Boone, so that made this book so much worse.

I’ve got a post on it, but it’s just a link to Barbara Curtis’s post http://www.mommylife.net/archives/2008/02/book_on_motherh.html, which has the information. You might as well go straight there, if you’re interested.
