I’m thrilled to be hosting the Cloak and Dagger Reading Challenge again. I love mystery and crime novels!
Challenge Rules:
- You can read any book that is from the mystery/suspense/thriller/crime/true crime genres. Any sub-genres are welcome as long as they incorporate one of these genres.
- You don’t need a blog to participate but you do need a place to post your reviews to link up. (blog, Goodreads, Instagram, etc.)
- Make a goal post and link it back here with your goal for this challenge.
- Books need to be at least 100 pages long. Please no short stories.
- Crossovers with other challenges are fine.
- The Challenge will run from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st. (Sign up ends March 15th)
We still have our facebook group so if you haven’t joined we would love for you to! Here’s the group’s link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/350512171977943/. It’s a closed group so just ask to join and we’ll let you in.
There will be a monthly link-up so we can see what everyone’s reading – and probably add some to our own tbr lists. At the halfway mark and at the end we will have a giveaway for those participating. I was also debating maybe having a week-long readathon sometime during the year, possibly around May 22 (Sherlock Holmes Day). Would anyone be interested?
We’ll continue to use the hashtag #CloakDaggerChal.
Levels:
5-15 books – Amateur sleuth
16-25 books – Detective
26-35 books – Inspector
36 – 55 books – Special agent
56+ books – Sherlock Holmes – This is my goal for the year.
Add a link to your sign-up post or Goodreads shelf below.
