“A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.”
G.K. Chesterton
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.

Scroll down or click to peruse yesterday’s Poetry Friday Round-up where you can experience such disparate poetical delights as G.K. Chesterton, Sappho, Yeats, Tennyson, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo E.,Christina Rossetti, Coleridge, John Donne, Shakespeare, and Wendell Berry and more modern poetry for wishing, dreaming, traveling, changing, concentrating, moving, romancing, teaching, adventuring, waiting, cloud-watching, bird-listening. Read child-friendly poetry about people and lemonade and dogs and weasels and prose explaining Mother Goose rhymes. Study such poetical forms as diamante, rictameter, acrostic, 15 words, ballad, and even take a form poetry quiz. And more. Even some Alice Cooper!?
I really like your new template!
thanks for hosting. I love your new blog look!
Hi Sherry, just FYI I’m having trouble leaving a comment. I see the words to type, but there’s no box to type them in. I tried a couple of times yesterday, and the same thing appears to be happening today. I’ll try using the audio challenge and see if that works.
I like your blog’s new look! Thanks for hosting, today and yesterday.
I haven’t been here for a few weeks, love the new look. The red is beautiful.
Love your new look!
I reviewed a gret little JF/YA novel written in free verse. Thanks for hosting!
Thanks as always for a great Saturday morning read!
The red silhouette is beautiful!
I echo the love for the new red. I also like the quote from Chesterton. In a lovely bit of synchronicity, he “appeared” in one of the Sandman graphic novels I read this week–one of the characters was drawn in his likeness!
Love the new look! Beautiful!
Thanks for hosting. Love the new look – very striking!
