Just recently I installed some "pages" and you'll find these running along the top of the blog page:
- Crime Fiction Alphabet
this is just designed to take you to the stages on the journey of this year's Crime Fiction Alphabet.
This week has been the letter G. Remember if you blog and like your crime fiction you can post a contribution to this. - Reading Challenges Update
here I am keeping a running tally of how I'm going in the various reading challenges I've signed up for.
I'm doing pretty well actually, 30 books read so far, and lots of "overlapping" - Latest additions
Basically this shows the books I've read and the reviews I've written in the last 2 months - Authors A-Z
this is an A-Z index of all the authors (and titles) of the books I've reviewed since the beginning of 2008 - All Reviews (ranked)
this shows nearly 400 reviews in order of my rating of the book. Don't put too much emphasis on the differences within a rating like 4.9 or between 4.9 and 4.8. But I've tried to think about my "top reads" - those that get a rating of 5 - so they really are in order, but there is an element of "brain fade" that plays a part. - 2011 Reviews
- 2010 Reviews
- 2009 Reviews
- 2008 Reviews
- Blogs I'm watching
this takes you to Crime Fiction Journeys, a list of 100 blogs by crime fiction addicts which gives you a link and a few words from their latest post. Great if you are looking for some blogs to follow or just want to see what people are talking about. - Agatha Christie Carnival
each month I host a monthly Agatha Christie Blog Carnival. This will also tell you about the Agatha Christie Reading Challenge.
