Welcome to the Historical Mystery Reading Challenge
I have recently gotten into historical mysteries and thought I would share the fun in a reading challenge. So signup with me for the next few months.
* This reading challenge runs March - June 2010
Suspense, amateur sleuth or police procedures and the entire menagerie under the mystery genre are all available for the challenge.
* In three (3) months read five (5) historical mysteries.
* Cross overs / overlaps to other challenges are okay and the more you can utulize your TBR stack the better.
* Sign up below with Mr Linky, if you like. If you don't have a blog then post your list of books here in the comments and return to share what you finished.
* If you have given the book you chose a good chance and you just can't read/finish it, feel free to pick a new one.
* Those who complete the challenge get a Badge of Completion that can be posted on their blog or website and entered for a random drawing for one of five Challenge winners bookmarks to be given away. I scrapbook and stamp so they are handmade.
* Prize restrictions - bookmarks will only mailed within the U.S and Canada.
Random drawing of challenge participants who completed the challenge will have 2 weeks from prize notification to provide a mailing address. If a mailing address is not provided then a new person will be drawn and notified.
* The books I am planning to read for the Historical Mystery Reading Challenge are:
- Maids of Misfortune by M. Louisa Locke - DONE
- The Pendragon Murders by J.M.C. Blair - DONE
- Murder Has No Class by Rebecca Kent - DONE
- The Last Illusion by Rhys Bowen- DONE

Extra Credit:

Okay, the Challenge has closed but we have had a great time finding new and exciting historical mysteries to read. Thank you all for your participation and your comments.
