Book Blogger Appreciation Week (14-20 September) is a celebration for book bloggers and of book blogs. My Friend Amy and her team have put immense amounts of effort into organising awards, and event for the whole week.

I'll have a daily post, including an Interview Swap. I hope to get around to look at other participants's blogs too, but that is obviously going to be quite a task.
As part of my participation I have a Book Giveway happening, with 2 books just for Australian/New Zealand readers, and two for worldwide distribution. They are all crime fiction titles, but there are no real conditions of entry, so pop in to that post and leave a comment.
Christie Week (13-20 September) begins today, and here on MiP we are celebrating with a Blog Tour

The Blog Tour has 10 days of events scheduled culminating in ACRC Carnival #9.
So a busy week, with some of the usual stuff happening too - books being read, reviews posted, as well as weekly events like Forgotten Books and Weekly Geeks.
This week's blog posts:
- Celebrating Christie week #1

Voting is now closed. Results to be announced tomorrow. There were some great sites shortlisted. - Weekly Geeks 2009-34: Reviewing Books
Some insights into my book reviewing strategies.
