Mysteries and Thrillers
There are several challenges that track how many mysteries, thrillers and cozies you read in a given year.
Cloak and Dagger #CloakDaggerChal
The first mystery based genre challenge I will do again this year is the Cloak and Dagger challenge
It is hosted by Carol on her CarolsNotebook blog. This tallying includes cozy mysteries but also traditional mysteries, thrillers and suspense novels. Basically anything with a mystery can be tracked at this challengeLevels:
- 5-15 books – Amateur sleuth
- 16-25 books – Detective-
- 26-35 books – Inspector

The second is Craving for a Cozy hosted by Dolly at EscapewithDollyCas As the name implies this just involves reading and tallying cozy mysteries.
