“If in our day young Christians are not only to nurture a life of the soul, if they are not only to provide a life of covenantal succession, a life of nurture in the gospel of grace, if they are also to fulfill their great callings and to shape the world around them, if they are to enter into life missionally – to make a difference – if they are to go out and change the world, then they will need to be prepared; they will need to think; they will need to read.” ~George Grant
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.
My reviewing has been slow lately.
I’m a new book blogger and so glad I found this linky. I will be back for sure.
