In Search of the End of the Sidewalk has teamed up with the Berryville, Arkansas library for this summer’s “The Great American Read” with PBS. The goal for Berryville residents is to have one Card Catalog Review for each of the 100 books on PBS’ list. (You can find the list here.) Each Saturday, In Search of the End of the Sidewalk will post a roundup of all of the reviews that came in during the week.
Summer stats:
Week 1– 3 books (97 to go), Week 2– 5 books (92 to go), Week 3- 5 books (87 to go), Week 4– 4 books (83 to go), Week 5- 5 books (78 to go!), Week 6– 5 books, Week 7- 5 books Week 8– 5 books (lost count, but I think we’re at 63 to go)

Well, this one isn’t a direct recommendation from me. I’m pairing with the Berryville Library and each Saturday is a roundup of their patron’s recommendations from PBS’ The Great American Read project. I think I read this one years ago, but would honestly need a re-read before being able to give a thumbs up or down on it.
