2014 My Kind Of Mystery Reading Challenge


Yes, I'm signing up for another reading challenges. This is a brand new one and doesn't start until February 1st, but it's all about mysteries and I love mysteries! It's hosted by Riedel Fascination and looks like fun.


Here are the details from her site:

Mystery needs no murder! I adore ancient places, eerie phenomenon… Dan Brown meets Nancy Atherton! Gothic greats of the 1960s-1980s, modern releases. What’s your favourite? This challenge welcomes the lot: tutorials, biographies, fiction… Any mystery and its authors fit my all-encompassing theme.

Keep an eye out for fun riddles to solve throughout the year!
What is “A RIEDEL Clue”?

Mystery Levels 2014



(1) Write about your goal and refer readers to our “My Kind Of Mystery” page.
(2) Enter your post’s URL, your name, and level into the link button below.

* A page on any public website (which omits ‘facebook’), is fine. If we can click on Twitter, Pinterest… without being members, great. If need be, sign-up your direct Goodreads profile. Then mark your progress via comments.



Any format. Any demographic.
If non-adult, I ask for pre-1991 publications. Enough sites cater to youths.
Limitless length.
A short story, multi-author compilations; bring them to the table!
Reviews wanted.
A link to Goodreads, Book Depository… to say you finished. A line is fine.



Catch your breath: we launch February 1st, 2014 – February 28th, 2015!

  1. After learning so much from my favourite hosts, I grew excited about my spin on word games and to offer a great paranormal group with those fictitious vampires etc... LOL!

    In mystery: you specialize in the 'cozy', Amy invites real & fictional stories, and Bev highlights the vintage. As the fourth corner to our "Mystery Hostess Quartet", what would I bring? Riddle-solving for our guests and a spotlight on the authors themselves!

    Many mystery authors have taught their craft and there are books ABOUT mystery authors too. I want to see it all and I am positively eager to interact with everyone helping me launch my first groups. Merry Christmas Yvonne!
