Joyful Jubilant Learning: Reviews to come in A Love Affair with Books 2008

Rosa Say of Joyful Jubilant Learning has rounded up some pretty talented authors to write about, what else, Books!. Specifically, some of their favorite books. Even I have been fortunate enough to be included in this very prestigious crowd of authors. How that happened I’ll never know. Anyway, these authors have taken the month of March and devoted each day to the review of a different book. I’m excited!

Want a sneak peek at what is in store for us?

Do men read more than women, or do they simply participate more? 21 men are reviewing books, and only 9 women. Is there a message there?Also, do male authors sell more than the women do? 22 of these books were written by men and 9 by women.

Whatever those answers, March promises to be a terrific month of learning! Of all these books listed, how many have you read?
