If you want to post a review just reply in the Comment section to this post. I'll be posting a new blog for review weekly.

Remember, you get 3 bonus points for your reviews. A refresher of how it works:

  • You can review books, movies or CDs you've read, seen, or listened to since May 20
  • In your review, include the title and author/artist
  • Tell me what you liked and/or disliked (the plot? characters? the ending? too slow?)
  • Please please please do NOT give away the ending, or what happens to major characters. No spoilers!!
  • Give a rating of 1-5 stars, with 5 being the best of the best
  • Review should be at least 3-5 sentences (be sure to put your initials at the end)
  • Be creative! List your favorite tracks of a CD, favorite quote from a book, etc.
  • After clicking on "Comments" and writing your review, select "Anonymous"
Email me at mlayne@bham.lib.al.us to let me know which review you posted and I'll give you your points.
