I'm looking forward to another year participating in the Calendar of Crime challenge. This is a different challenge as you only need to read 12 books, but they have to fit certain categories to represent the twelve months of the year. Things like release month, setting month, author birthday, etc. You can find the categories here (or if that doesn't work, there is a link at the first link I shared.
I'll be very curious to see what I wind up with as entries this year. I'll fill them in, with the category, as I read them.
Feb. 6th update: I'm going to see if I can do this three times. Yes, I might be crazy.
