Mystery & Crime Fiction Blog Carnival - October 2012

Banned Books Week: Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Freedom to Read is September 30−October 6, 2012 (click here).  Check your library for local events. This year they have a "50 State Salute" that will consist of videos (no longer than 5 minutes) that emphasizes ways in which each state’s community celebrates the freedom to read during Banned Books Week.

It is the first Monday of the month - time for another highly anticipated Blog Carnival.  Please help the newsletter for the blog carnival to get more subscribers.  If a blog reviews mystery/suspense/thrillers (even occasionally) then I would like to feature those reviews.  I send the newsletter out once a month announcing the deadline for submitting to this blog carnival.  Multiple entries from a blog are welcome.  Now on to this month's blog carnival.  Click on the title or author's name to go to that link.
