“Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you’ll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off of the binding.†~Stephen King
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. 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.

Linked to my review of Harper Lee’s classic To Kill A Mockingbird.
Thanks, Sherry! 🙂
I linked to my review of a new book by Pete Leibman called I Got My Dream Job and So Can You. Thanks, Sherry.
I hadn’t read ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’ in years. I will have to go find it. Thanks for hosting, Sherry.
I’m doing something different this week–my 18 y.o son is 2 cents on a few classics.
Thank you, Sherry!
