The Book Review Meme

Okay, honestly, I'm a little confused about how all this is supposed to work, but I'm going to give it a shot.  If you want to participate, go to John's site, Grasping for the Wind, for easier cutting and pasting of the list of links.  Here's the info from John's site:

"Well, I have had new idea for a meme, so I thought I would go ahead and post it, and see what kind of reaction it gets.

Here is how it works: Find a favorite book, movie, or videogame review (Science fiction and fantasy related) that you have written, no matter where it was posted, and add it to the following list. Make sure to repost the whole list, because in doing so, we accumulate what the reviewers themselves think is their best work, and give each other some linkages, increasing everyone's rankings.

Again, I plan to keep track of all the blogs that link back to me, and I will add the review of choice to the list. If you are one of the early adopters, you can check back here occasionally and add the new ones that get added to the list at your blog or website.

This probably won't be as successful as the Book Reviewers Linkup Meme, but I certainly would find it useful to know what reviews are considered their best by the writers themselves.

Use the format of [Blog /Website Name] - [Book Name in CAPS w/ Link] by [Book Author Name]"
