Sunday Salon/Sunday Post – March Recap – Weekly Rewind – Mail Call

The Sunday Salon used to be a meme but was getting so huge it became unmanageable, so it is now a Facebook group that has become an informal week in review
gathering place for bloggers.
It is also a place to share our thoughts about things of a bookish nature.

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by
Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer
~ It’s a chance to share news~
A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

Last week I told you I would be reading Retarded Girl Raised in Dog Pen: Authorities Say Girl Witness to Murder and would tell you about it today. I reviewed it on Friday, you can read the whole review here. But I will tell you after getting past the title the story was well written and the subject matter was horrific. I believe the author used the title for its shock factor and I think that choice has really backfired. With a different title I believe more people would read this book. I wavered between a 3-star and 4-star review, finally giving it a 4 because the story merited that.
