“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.†~Italo Calvino
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.

Thanks, Sherry! I’ve linked to my review of Elisabeth Elliot’s The Mark of a Man.
More great books to explore this week. Thanks!
I went through my first audiobook, the Money Saving Mom’s Budget. The problem with audiobooks is that you can’t mark up the pages, put in little bookmarks, or look things up quickly. But it was still a great book.
Chasing the Sun was a light read, but very inspiring and encouraging.
Thanks for the link up.
Whoops. Again, I forgot to put the titles of the books I read on my links. The two Reading World links go to The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller and Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand. I have to pay better attention to what I’m doing!
Finally got a chance to participate! I usually read blogs on my phone while I ride the subway and I always curse myself for forgetting to take part in this, but this time I have an internet connection! Thanks for giving us a place to share!
