Only one more book to go and I just happen to be reading a cozy right now.


C.  (Comment, never msg). (riedel) It's only March, you're the hostess of this popcicle stand, and appear to be blessed with free books. You're rise right to the top before long! :) I'm at 10 myself. I'm tackling trickier groups first but plenty of mainstream mysteries are on my horizen, with delight.

FYI, watch "My Kind Of Mystery" for the first riddle soon. I'm giving an alert to the first activity of each group. Then my guests will get used to keeping an eye on my blog the remainder of the year. :)

I've also begun your mystery challenge and I look forward to the first riddle!

C.  (Comment, never msg). (riedel) I noticed, can't wait to read your reviews, Yvonne. :) I figured our members will take a moment to get used to re-visiting the main page and checking the comments for messages between us. Hence the heads-up this time. I don't require anyone subscribe to my blog, which I find tacky and have seen a few do.

I love that I have your mystery challenge once I complete my cozy one. It's going to be fun, I'm sure.


C.  (Comment, never msg). (riedel) Yes! By your standards, I've pretty much completed "Finish The Series" and exceeded "What An Animal". It's a matter of linking reviews but I'll keep partying at your place all year.

As for my side of the fence, link everything you read since Feb 1 of course. And... I've hinted as broadly as I can that 'A RIEDEL Clue' is live! ;) Return to the mother blog, dear crew member.

LOL - You know, I never ever finished Finishing the Series challenge even though it's my own and I'm a series addict? However, I think I might finish at least one series this year, but I signed up for 2 series so I don't know if I will do that :)

Yes, I will return to your blog!

C.  (Comment, never msg). (riedel) Good: the mystery timer is ticking at the bottom of my blog. Feel free to warn other members you know; this time. Hahaha.... http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/mykindo...

Your version makes it easier than most, a broader definition of 'finished'. You let us count up to the latest volume we have been able to own in a year and also if we decide we shan't buy any more. I hesitate to include Claudia Bishop. I've read so few of her food series and it is so long but I can't bear it. I may skip inclusion however because I'm focused on more than your maximum three.

Done with my challenge...now off to complete others.


C.  (Comment, never msg). (riedel) Congratulations. You will surely add more to this category but it always feels nice to know we satisfied the pledged level.

Yvonne (yvonne473) | 1066 comments Mod
Thanks. Yes, I definitely will be adding more to this category.


C.  (Comment, never msg). (riedel) My three don't require wrap-up posts but with folks who ask for it, if they don't mind: I use the same blog URL with which I signed up. This way if there's a prize or commentary of achievement; my entry is out of the way. However I keep returning to all the the challenges with any review links that count. :)

I'm sure that's fine. As long as the sign up lists what books you read, that should be okay.


C.  (Comment, never msg). (riedel) Oh yes, that's what I've been doing all along. With too many groups going Jan-Dec, I can't be updating 45 webpages, on slow internet speed, on new year's eve. My blog page is updated by the time anyone would look. A wonderful way to ensure I have myself covered, while remaining open to adding more. Stay tuned for my next bought of activities. :)
