Since 2003, Sherry Early of Meriadoc Homeschool Library has been writing thoughtful book reviews on her blog, Semicolonblog.com. Sherry's two decades of blogging has made Semicolonblog.com a treasure trove of book reviews!
Diane Pendergraft and Sara Masarik got a little bit of a later start... they have also been aggressively reviewing nearly everything that they have been reading since 2016. 😂 Despite their late start, Plumfield and Paideia.com is also packed with careful reviews of books new and old.
Now, the two blogs have been combining forces to read and review books for the 1924 and 1964 projects, Picture Book Preschool, Landmark Books, and other large bookish projects best tackled with friends.
Many readers and librarians have asked how they can stay connected with all of the newest reviews from Card Catalog Reviewers Sherry Early, Diane Pendergraft, and Sara Masarik. We decided that it made sense to launch a twice-monthly newsletter with teasers and links to all of the newest reviews from Semicolon and Plumfield. Instead of getting an email or seeing a social media post every time there is a new review, by subscribing to this newsletter, you can get a digest or roundup on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of every month. We would love to have you subscribe to this newsletter if these reviews might be helpful or interesting to you!
