Countdown to the Challenge - 11 days!
While the Summer Mystery Reading Challenge doesn’t officially start until June 1st, we wanted to put daily posts up early so everyone has a place to post the list of books they are thinking of reading, ask for recommendations, or simply chat about mysteries. Feel free to jump in any time and leave a comment or ask a question.
Today’s handy mystery reference site is The Cozy Library. As you might have guessed, they specialize in cozy mysteries, which they define as “chocked-full of kind-hearted characters, with a terrific story masterfully told, and a satisfying – and generally happy — ending. No explicit sex or violence, no wall-to-wall profanity.â€
The books at The Cozy Library are indexed by author and there are reviews of many of them available for perusal. There are also author interviews, an extensive list of author web pages, and a monthly newsletter (which you can read online) with interesting articles about books, authors, conventions, and bookish things in general. If cozies happen to be your favorite kind of mystery, this is an excellent place to find out about your favorite authors or to find your next read.
If you haven’t signed up for the SMRC yet, click here for directions. You are welcome to read along on your own, of course, but only registered participants are eligible for the prizes.
