Saturday Review of Books: May 23, 2009

“The walls of books around him, dense with the past, formed a kind of insulation against the present world and its disasters.”
~Ross MacDonald

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 to everyone for participating.

  1. It is for this wonderful weekly feature that I bestowed the “enchanted” award to your blog today.

    Have a great Saturday!

  2. I reviewed a new book, Dessert First, by a new children’s author, Hallie Durand, this week. I’m also giving away 3 ARCs of the book, and I interviewed the author!

    Thanks, Sherry, as always!
