FastTrack your Books! Trackback Sunday returns to JJL’s A Love Affair with Books
If you have any of the JJL ALAWB 2008 books on your own bookshelf, you’ve likely noticed how re-reading it through the eyes of another reviewer can cause you to go back for more, skimming through the pages for your own annotations, or looking up index entries for what a reviewer mentions that hadn’t initially made the same first impression with you.
As the comments here reflect, book reviews can get you to buy, that’s for certain, however they also serve to help you study, savor, and appreciate past buys all over again –-- so go ahead, congratulate yourself for your past wisdom in making that choice!
Or perhaps this is your scenario: One of our ALAWB books has got you remembering, and thinking about an entirely different book, perhaps it is
... one you loved when you read it, and you are now getting inspired to tell more people about it’s message.
... or, one which fascinated you, but left you with questions, questions you would love to pose to others who might have some answers for you.
... or perhaps it is a book you always intended to re-visit but never did. You are now thinking that all this zealous book talk is the inspiration you need!
Well, today is your day!
Today is the first of two Trackback Sundays we’ll have this month.
If you’ve been following our March forum, you know that we’ve sought out guest reviewers, welcoming them to post here on our JJL pages (and you can still participate in that way... details here). On Trackback Sunday we share the link love and invite all comers who publish online to join the party!
For today;
-
If you’ve written any book reviews of your own recently, send a trackback here to this post (or add your link in the comments with an introductory blurb) so our readers will know to come visit you. At the same time, feel free to pick up the ALAWB 2008 sidebar image (170 x 170), or the following “I am a JJL Contributor” button (150 x 60), pointing the imbedded link right here.
-
The day is young as we post this (JJL is set on Honolulu time in honor of our Ho‘ohana Community roots), so if you have a favorite book you’d like to extend your own learning with by inviting some conversation to it, start writing, and get your post up today (read some tips here). Consider doing this for those books that are your intrigues and stumpers; get the community to investigate it and learn with you. If you don’t have a blog, send your review to our community mailbox, and we’ll post it for you here on JJL: it’ll appear right below this post today, and again, you can pick up our contributor badge too!
- Third, share your aloha as part of the JJL Ho‘ohana Community! Click in to any trackbacks and links you see here, and if you’ve ever written a review about the book being reviewed, send that book reviewer a trackback to your review on their post, or comment for them.
- About our Review a Book Win a Book Contest: You are welcomed to send us a trackback or enter a comment link on any book you have reviewed in 2008 (positively - this is a love affair!) i.e. since January 1st. Those who have published reviews for the first time this month, and who have included both a link to Joyful Jubilant Learning and included one of our ALAWB artwork images will be entered into the contest.
All books will be added to our JJL Store page as well:
Be a JJL Contributor. Indulge in your own passion for books, and enlarge your learning within the community. Let’s have a book reviewer’s party, JJL style!
Our JJL ALAWB 2008 Trackback Sunday is now officially open.
For quick reference, here is the link for the book reviews already claimed and scheduled for a coming review in our forum: Book Review Index.
