All that mankind has done, thought, gained, or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.” Thomas Carlyle
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.
I linked my review for The God King

If you haven’t read Three Cups of Tea, I highly recommend it. It’s a great story about tolerance, peace, and education, specifically for girls.
Another Newbery winner for me, from 1938. I’d love to hear from someone whose read this one.
