Hurray! This challenge has taught me that I read a lot of mysteries... As long as they're paranormal or thrillers :)

Not to mention you can use Harry in Part II also. He's definitely Fantasy/Urban Fantasy, and maybe even Magical Realism (I need to figure what that one is first to be sure ☺)
It might be stretching it to use him for MR, but definitely for F/UF.

Darn it, Ashley! I was hoping you'd have a Scotland Yard book that I could "steal" to finish my challenge LOL
Barb wrote: "Darn it, Ashley! I was hoping you'd have a Scotland Yard book that I could "steal" to finish my challenge LOL"Lol Barb - I was totally stumped by several of these categories! I realized I read a ton of mysteries...but only in a few specific genres. :X
The one I had planned to read (if I got around to it) was The Yard, if that helps.
Ooooh, that actually might help, Ashley! I think I have that in my collection of audiobooks ... thanks :)
FINALLY finished this one! I can't believe it took me so long to read a second book involving Scotland Yard *hanging head in shame*

Thanks :) I can't believe it took me so long to finish this one *sigh*
Congrats, Ashley Marie and Barb! I haven't checked my progress on this challenge in months...wonder where I stand. Perhaps I should take a moment to find out...well, okay, a few moments because my "read" shelf will take awhile to sift through, hah.
Congrats, Barb! Great job of plugging away at this one.
I've been putting concerted effort into finishing a handful of challenges that only have one or two books left to complete. I'm tired of seeing them hanging around, a-l-m-o-s-t complete but not quite!
You have my utmost admiration, Barb!But now that you have drawn my attention to this challenge - well, I'm going to have to sign up for it. My will power is weak...

I'm doing both parts (100 books) and I've only read about 70 of them. I took some time out to do Tower Teams and got behind on my crime reading.
It's a lot of fun to try to fit your books into the right spot.
I don't read as many mysteries as I used to, but I think I'd like to try this.Crime Scene Investigator 21-30 books, 1 in each category.
