To find out exactly what a cozy mystery is, check out Cozy-Mystery.com. This site is dedicated to cozy mysteries and does a great job of defining them as well as giving a list of cozy mysteries. This challenge is NOT restricted to what is on their list, it's just to be used as a guideline in case you need some hints on what to read.

So, here are the rules...
1. Choose the level you wish to participate:
Level 1 - Snoop - Read at least 6 books
Level 2 - Investigator - Read 7-12 books
Level 3 - Super Sleuth - READ 13-20 BOOKS
LEVEL 4 - Sleuth Extraordinaire - Read 20 or more
2. The challenge runs from January 1, 2014 and ends December 31, 2014.
3. You don't have to choose your books in advance. If you do, you can change your list at any time during the year. Books can overlap with other challenges.
4. Books can be in any format - paper, audio, ebooks...it all counts!

My Kind of Mystery (link to join)

 

Mystery needs no murder!  This challenge welcomes the lot:  tutorials, biographies, fiction…  Any mystery and its authors fit my all-encompassing theme.

Keep an eye out for fun riddles to solve throughout the year!
What is “A RIEDEL Clue”?

  

 

(1)  Write about your goal and refer readers to our “My Kind Of Mystery” page.
(2)  Enter your post’s URL, your name, and level into the link button below.

* A page on any public website (which omits ‘facebook’), is fine.  If we can click on Twitter, Pinterest…  without being members, great.  If need be, sign-up your direct Goodreads profile.  Then mark your progress via comments.

Any format.  Any demographic.
If non-adult, I ask for pre-1991 publications.  Enough sites cater to youths. Limitless length.
A short story, multi-author compilations;  bring them to the table! Reviews wanted.
A link to Goodreads, Book Depository…  to say you finished.  A line is fine.

Catch your breath:  we launch February 1^st, 2014 – February 28^th, 2015!
