I Read It — October

October 5, 2010 by Jennifer

If you’ve reviewed books throughout the month that someone recommended, this is your opportunity to tell us about it. You can write an “I Read It” post that has links back to the books you’ve read and post that up (pointing your readers to this link-up so that they can find other reviews), or you can just link those reviews up individually.

We don’t want you to link up all your book reviews, just those that you made a mention of who made you read it. I think that this is the reason that most of us follow other readers — bloggers who read and review and recommend — because we learn to trust the recommendations of others. Sometimes we’ll disagree, and that’s okay too.

If you read a book that we reviewed here at 5 Minutes for Books and have a different take on it — we’d especially love to hear it!

If you don’t post on your blog, let us know what you read (and who “made” you read it) in the comments.

    My entry was an unsolicited review book. I never would have even known it existed otherwise…and I LOVED it! I’m now planning to read more titles by that author…already ordered two of them!

    I didn’t have time to write a book review post this month — but I just love this meme of books read on someone’s recommendation. It’s been a busy week but hopefully soon I’ll get a chance to look at all the posts that have been linky-ed (is that a word?!).
