Mystery Madness discussion

Hi Everyone! We are officially announcing the 2nd Annual March Mystery Madness Readathon. I'm Di and I will be a new host this year, along with our other two moderators and the creators of the readathon, Troi and Elizabeth. If you don't know, I do run the First in a Series Cozy Mystery Book Club or #Book1CoziesClub in this group. Please feel free to check out some of those threads for any ideas when coming up with your TBR for this year's festivities.

The challenges will be announced by video shortly by each of the hosts. If you absolutely can't wait for the videos, the challenges threads will be posted here shortly as well. New to the readathon is our Twitter account! Please follow us there @marchmysmadness for updates and reading sprints. There will also be a giveaway at the end of the readathon, so keep an eye out for instructions on how to gain your entries!

I hope to see you in these threads or interacting with us on Twitter. If you have any questions, please comment below ^-^

Hello again everyone! We're half way through our readathon, can you believe it?!? How is everyone doing with their stack of mysteries? I've seen some interaction in our threads, which is awesome.

Just wanted to remind you to set up your post in our Finish Line thread. If you complete two challenges, you'll gain another entry into our giveaway at the end of the month! Hope you're all doing great ^-^

I had two other books for book clubs that I needed to read this month. But I have completed three of the mystery challenges and hope to do all eight if I can. This has really been fun for me.

That's great Debbi! I had some non-mystery reading I needed to do myself - library loans that were running out and I still have an ARC I need to finish and review. I've finished 2 so far and working on my third. I can safely say that this month will be the first month in 2017 where I read a good number of books. The first two months of this year were slow reading months for me.

I'm glad that you're having fun and I look forward to hearing more about your reads!

Good job Debbi! I read ahead for book club, but then still ended up having some non-mystery reading to do. No matter, it's always good to have a goal. I hope you can get all eight challenges done. Happy Reading!

You're welcome Kristi! Glad you had fun. We use this group all year for the #Book1CoziesClub if you would like to join in.
