I want to thank all of you for your submissions to this week’s carnival. A reminder that the Tenth Edition of the Literature Carnival will fall one day before William Shakespeare’s birthday. For the April 22 edition of the Carnival, please submit your Shakespeare-themed posts, and let me know if submissions received well before then should be saved for the Shakespeare edition.
In book reviews this week, we have Grrlscientist’s thoughts on Darwin: Discovering the Tree of Life at Living the Scientific Life, Jonathan Dresner’s review of The Apprentice by Lewis Libby at Frog in a Well and my own review of Lev Grossman’s Codex here at Much Madness is Divinest Sense.

OK, folks, see you in two weeks with the tenth edition devoted to William Shakespeare. Don’t forget to make your submissions for inclusion.
Thanks for mentioning Isidore. I meant to submit my post but the thought left my brain as quickly as it appeared.
No problem. I always enjoy your posts.
I have just bravely resolved to start a literature carnival and am pleasantly surprised to know you have already done the heavy lifting for us all… thank you!
this is also to let you know that i have made an erroneaous submitssion — i was not aware when making it that we have a Shakespeare theme. (I should have guessed). So I am going to resubmit a Shakespeare post!
Thank you again!
