“Read widely, read enthusiastically, be guided by instinct and not design. For if you read, you need not become a writer, but if you hope to become a writer, you must read.”~Joyce Carol Oates
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.

Thanks for doing this every Saturday, Sherry! Hope you’re having a nice summer :).
I really like the quote this week. Especially the part that says: {{ Read widely, read enthusiastically }}
Thanks for hosting this weekly event.

I thought I had linked to Mimosa a few weeks ago, but checking back through, I didn’t see it, so I linked now.
Thanks for hosting this every week!
Good morning readers! I finally finished Shadow Country, last year’s National Book winner for fiction, after starting it last MARCH! Had to return it to the library, read other books, wait for it to come back in and then finish it. Kinda crazy, but worth it.
I really like that quote too. Thank you for doing this for us.
Yes. Thank you for the opportunity to link. I really appreciate it. I hope your summer is going well.
This is my first time participating. Thanks for the opportunity, Sherry. I’m excited about checking out what others are reading too!
