I’m a bit late joining this one, but I couldn’t resist when I saw Book Chick City’s glorious pink hair!
It struck me a lot of what I read, and what I have to read on my bedside table, falls into the mystery/thriller genre, so this challenge looked ideal. I may also be a little addicted to challenges at the moment *blush*
Anyway, here are Book Chick City’s rules:
- Timeline: 01 Jan 2011 – 31 Dec 2011
- Rules: To read TWELVE (12) mystery & suspense novels in 2011 (12 is the minimum but you can read more if you wish!)
- You don’t have to select your books ahead of time, you can just add them as you go. Also if you do list them upfront you can change them, nothing is set in stone! The books you choose can crossover into other challenges you have on the go.
- You can join anytime between now and the later part of next year.
- At the beginning of Jan 2011, you will find a link to specific month to add your reviews. There will be a monthly prize too courtesy of the lovely Simon & Schuster – you must be signed up to the challenge and add the link to your review to be entered into the monthly prize draw.
