“Whatever sanity I had was thanks to writers, to books that either helped me forget my troubles or helped me understand them.”~Susan Richards, Chosen by a Horse
If you’re not familiar with and linking to and perusing the Saturday Review of Books here at Semicolon, you’re missing out. Here’s how it usually works. Find a review on your blog posted sometime during the previous week of a book you were 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.
Then on 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. That’s how my own TBR list has become completely unmanageable and the reason I can’t join any reading challenges. I have my own personal challenge that never ends.
Thank you as always for organizing this!
Yay I get to post my best review this week (or at least one of my best in my opinion)- my review of Handle with Care.
Thanks for hosting! I finally have a review written this week. Last week was all about finishing up my reading 🙂
Sherry, I remain grateful for your online hospitality.
The book I reviewed this week is the best nonfiction book I’ve read in 2010. It killed me to write a brief review. I wanted to lay out quote after quote after quote. My husband keeps reminding me: less is more!
Happy Saturday,
Carol
Thanks for hosting. The book I’ve linked to is The Beacon by Susan Hill – a book I really enjoyed.

Thanks for hosting this! =) I haven’t linked up and checked out the other reviews in a while, but I’m glad to be back.
I don’t say this every week – but THANKS for your faithfulness in hosting this!
I’m eager to look now and see all the other reviews no doubt already posted of the Percy Jackson books, which my grandson just clued me into. Thanks for the opportunity!
