Things to do on my crime fiction focussed blog today: participate in a poll, enter a competition for a free book, add to my knowledge of detective pairs.
Reminder:
Submissions for the Agatha Christie Reading Challenge Blog Carnival close on May 22. Get your blog post in if you have recently written any posts about Agatha Christie books. New participants very welcome (submit your past posts too). Check the April Carnival to see what it is all about.
This week's posts
- Collaborations in Paradise - the final story
I've decided to call this to a close. Read what 20 of us managed to do with the good start Michael Robotham gave us. - Is writing still a man's world? - poll available
Check the writers of your last 5 reads. - Review: THE POISONING IN THE PUB, Simon Brett
Some books are just like visiting old friends. - Up for grabs: a copy of THE GOOD HUSBAND OF ZEBRA DRIVE
I'll send this anywhere in the world but you have to answer 3 easy questions to be in the draw. - Sleuths & Foils
Can you add to my detective pairs? - Forgotten Book: FROM DOON WITH DEATH, Ruth Rendell
A sort of celebration that Ruth Rendell began her Inspector Wexford series 45 years ago, and will end it this year. - Review: THE WRITING CLASS, Jincy Willett
- Weekly Geeks 2009-17: Mark It Down
- Nominations open for the CrimeSpree Awards
- And the winner of Billingam's DEATH MESSAGE was..
As you can see most who participated are in the more-or-less-daily routine, but some admitted to posting-creep. The comments were really varied though. If you want to read them they are still available.
This week's poll:
Of the last 5 books you read, how many authors were female?
It is connected to the post at Is writing novels still a man's world?
Your participation in the poll and comment would be very welcome.
