SORRY I’M SO LATE AGAIN! 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.
I don’t see Mr. Linky. 🙂 I reviewed The Slender Thread (https://barbarah.wordpress.com/2016/04/07/book-review-a-slender-thread/) and posted a review + giveaway of The Tenth Plague (https://barbarah.wordpress.com/2016/04/05/giveaway-of-adam-blumers-book-the-tenth-plague/). Thanks for hosting!
I don’t see Mr. Linky either. Here’s my Reading Update post from today: http://thereisnosuchthingasagodforsakentown.blogspot.com/2016/04/reading-update.html
Hello From Snowy Pittsburgh:
