ACRC January- June 2021

Welcome to the Agatha Christie Reading Challenge Blog Carnival for January- June 2021

At the beginning of each quarter a new post will be created like this one with a Mr Linky attached. Participants in the blog carnival  will write their posts and then come here and add information about their post to Mr Linky.

Links that are not directly relevant to the purpose of the blog carnival will be deleted. All links MUST relate to Agatha Christie or her works.

The suggested format for the link could be something like this:
Review: SPARKLING CYANIDE -Kerrie (or MiP) and then the URL where the post can be found.
    Do visit the participating blogs and leave comments if you have read the books. Spread the word too about the existence of this blog and the monthly opportunity it offers to showcase reviews about Agatha Christie books. 
You can now join the Agatha Christie Reading Challenge too, so just click on the link and sign up.

Thanks for participating.
