Saturday Review of Books: January 10, 2009
One need never be dull as long as one has friends to help, gardens to enjoy and books in the long winter evenings.
~D.E. Stevenson
Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books.
Here’s how it usually 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.

I love D.E. Stevenson’s books! They used to be my favorite “comfort” read. Perhaps it’s time to get them off the shelves and re-read them.
I reviewed two this week, which is close to a record for me! (And they’re both adult books!)
Thanks, Sherry! I’ll be be later to peruse some other entries!
I reviewed two. Now I’m reading Flexner’s bio of George Washington. Looking forward to reading your thoughts about it!
