Mystery Mania

    

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 challenge

Levels:

  •  5-15 books – Amateur sleuth
  • 16-25 books – Detective- 
  • 26-35 books – Inspector
  • 36 – 55 – Special agent 
  • 56+ books – Sherlock Holmes  My Choice

Challenge Completed 5/16/23

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




                                            Levels


  • Peckish – 1 – 25 Cozy Mysteries
