“Book lovers will understand me, and they will know too that part of the pleasure of a library lies in its very existence.” ~Jan Morris
Welcome to the Saturday Review of Books at Semicolon. Here’s how it usually works. Find a book review on your blog posted sometime during the previous week. The review doesn’t have to be a formal sort of thing. You can link to your thoughts on a particular book, a few ideas inspired by reading the book, your evaluation, quotations, whatever.
Then on Friday night/Saturday, you post a link here at Semicolon in Mr. Linky 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.
After linking to your own reviews, you can spend as long as you want reading the reviews of other bloggers for the week and adding to your wishlist of books to read.
You can go to this post for over 100 links to book lists for the end of 2014/beginning of 2015. Feel free to add a link to your own list.
If you enjoy the Saturday Review of Books at Semicolon, please invite your friends to stop by and check out the review links here each Saturday.
Thanks for hosting, Sherry.
I love browsing through libraries and bookstores. Thanks for hosting, have a wonderful weekend.
Just discovered this blog through By The Book. I hope to post again on future Fridays and will enjoy finding new reads.
Question: I write a lot of reviews, but instead of posting them on my blog, I post them on my daughter’s book reviews website (www.learningresourcedirectory.com). Would it work to post links to those?
Sure, Emma. That would be fine.
