This week has been even busier than usual with a couple of events running simultaneously. My main participation in BBAW 2010 was my interview with Bermuda Onion (and her interview of me), and also posting a giveaway each day.
It was good to see that Sunday Salon won the "best meme".
I decided to give away a book each day - and you can still participate in that - there are 4 Australian crime fiction titles, and one book about Agatha Christie.
Check this post for details on how to enter the giveaways. The competition is open world-wide, the only proviso being that if the winner comes from outside Australia postage cost will determine whether the book is delivered by surface mail or air mail. You have until Friday 24th September to enter.
This week was the second week in the Agatha Christie Blog Tour that is happening for the whole of September.
Of course this week, 15 September, was the celebration of the 120th anniversary of Agatha Christie's birth. Even Google got in on the act!
There have been some wonderful posts so far in the blog tour, and they will go on for another 11 days.
Check the list here.

Thoughts in Progress
As always, you do waaaaaay too much, but it always gives the rest of the world something good to read, especially all the work you do with the Agatha Christie Reading Challenge Carnival. You should receive a special award from BBAW for your dedication to one author.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to get to the interview with you and Bermudiaonion. Hopefully, in between football games here today, I can catch up with both.
