A review of the list of Biblioblogs
This list of links is a complement to the November Carnival. Tell me if you have links you would like in the carnival. It is getting quite full as it stands. The Biblioblog Library seems now to be completely defunct. These are what remain. If there is a date then it is the last post that I saw prior to Nov 1. Many of these blogs are really hard to find things on. Many have distracting ads. Here are the latest links from the Biblioblogs in November up to Nov 24 if there were any. I will not necessarily be checking these blogs again. Some of them are on my readers, some not. Some of these made it into the carnival, some didn't.
