Cozy Mysteries discussion

Here are your November 2018 Mini Challenges!


RULES

** Books DO NOT all have to be mysteries. You can use any genres.

** A book can only be used once for this challenge, but can be used for other challenges (Seasonal, World Trip, Ultimate, etc.).

** You DO NOT have to choose books in advance, and can change your mind at any time if you do.

** Do as many as you are able and have fun!


1. November 2 is Plan your Epitaph Day: Find a book that depicts a tombstone or graveyard on the cover, or features a cemetery/grave/graveyard in the story or title (e.g.: The Graveyard Book or Of Grave Concern would count.)
