2013 Mystery / Crime Reading Challenge

**Challenge complete.  See my wrap-up post HERE.**

Dates: 1 January - 31 December, 2013
Hosted by: Amy @ The Crafty Book Nerd (now @ A Bookish Girl)

Guidelines:

• No set number of books.  All novels, short stories, or authors qualify, just so long as the genre is mystery/crime.
• Anything over 100 pages counts as a novel; five short stories equal one novel.
• There will be a monthly link for reviews/progress reports.
• There will also be monthly prizes for participants who link up.
• You don't need a blog to participate: link up through GoodReads or Flickr.

At the end of the year, participants will receive a rank depending on the amount read:

• 5 books = Detective 
• 10 books = Sergeant 
• 15 books = Lieutenant 
• 20 books = Captain 
• 25 books = Chief 
• 30+ books = Sherlock Holmes
