“Fiction is like a spider’s web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.”~Virginia Woolf
Note (Saturday at noon): The linky got messed up and disappeared, so if you posted your links before noon today, I’ve lost them. Please repost. I’m sorry.
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 again for hosting this. One of my favorite Saturday morning activities is to be able to sit down and pop around to various reviews.
It hurts at the same time. My list is too long. But I enjoy it and that’s what counts, right?
Mr. Linky break overnight? I seem to remember more Linkys.
Well, pooh. I was the first on the list on Friday night, but now I’m #66+ since resigning Mr. Linky. Oh well. 🙂
Thanks, as always, Sherry!!
