Saturday Review of Books: October 4, 2008
“My lifelong love affair with books and reading continues unaffected by automation, computers, and all other forms of the twentieth-century gadgetry.”
~Robert Downs
Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books, the Cybils-nominations-are-open edition. Go nominate your favorites now through October 15th.
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! Wow, I didn’t realize I had reviewed so much this past week. Banned Books Week will do that to you!
I wish I had time to get around to all of these reviews. Please remove my first listing if you can, I forgot to put in my title.
This is a great idea! Thanks for doing it.
Thanks, Sherry. Hope Natasha and I don’t completely “hog” everything this week, although it looks like we’re in good company.
Thanks, once again!
Loved Maw Books’ reviews this week!
What a great idea! This was the first time I’d heard about it. I found some new books today.
Sherry, do you have a button for the Saturday Review of Books? I did a post linking over here today, and kind of made my own using your blog header. I hope you don’t mind. It’s kind of blurry though. I’d rather use yours if you have one!
Thanks again for hosting. I love this event!!!
So glad to see reviews of Fieldwork and The Outcast here this week — two of my new favorites from this year!
Hi there, I love this Saturday Review of Books! Makes it so much easier to browse through the latest reviews. I hope you keep it up. Thanks!
This is awesome! Shana at Literarily pointed me here. Very cool.
I just reviewed a picture book this week, but it’s a good one. I hope I can get back to reviewing what I read (as opposed to what I read to my children) soon!
Sherry – I found out about your site from Shana @ Literarily … very neat idea, to list the new reviews in one spot!
