#TBT Book Review – Raggin’ Jazzin Rockin’ by Susan VanHecke
A little history, a little music … Raggin’ Jazzin’ Rockin’ seems like a perfect way to kick off our July Throwback Thursday book reviews.
There is an audio book version, too. Perfect for enjoying together on that road trip. Music to my ears! [Here is the Audible audio edition on Amazon.com.]

Why a Throwback Thursday for Book Reviews?
Those of us who blog about books are a community. We read lots of books, we write lots of reviews, and we share those reviews with fellow book lovers and those in search of books for children and teens on our blogs, websites, and via social media.
We write so many reviews that, over time, they get buried by other, newer reviews. BUT! that book we read three years ago will always be new to some reader, somewhere. So why not share that review with a new audience?
Everyone is welcome! Here are the participation guidelines:
- If you reviewed the same book we’re featuring, add your permalink to the original review on the Reading Tub website or in the InLinkz Linkup.
- Want to (re)share a review you posted in June 2009, then add your permalink in the InLinkz Linkup. [No, it doesn’t have to be a book you loved; but it does have to be a review you take a lot of pride in.]
- Add any notes about the review in the comments, please.
