Books: March Mystery Madness Challenges Announcement

By -

March Mystery Madness starts a little over a week from now! If you are a part of our Mystery Madness Goodreads Group, you have already seen the threads, but if you aren't a part of the group yet, here are the challenges that we have for the month of March. Hopefully these will help you put together your To Read list for the month, if you don't already have a few books lined up already! Most of these are self-explainatory, but if you have any questions, please let me know.
  1. True Crime or Thriller
  2. Classic Mystery - any mystery published before 1967 counts!
  3. First in a Series or Sequel - start a new mystery series or read a sequel in one you have already started. If you are participating in #Book1CoziesClub any of those selections counts for this too!
  4. New To You Author
  5. Paranormal or Futuristic Mystery
  6. Kid or Youth Detective
  7. Diverse Character - read a mystery with a character that has a different background than you. This includes race, sexuality, religion, etc. We'll leave this up to your own personal interpretation.
  8. Cozy Mystery - again, #Book1CoziesClub selections are a fit for this challenge!
  9. Read 8 Bonus - complete 8 mysteries in the month of March
So, those are the challenges we have for this round of #MarchMysteryMadness and I hope you will be joining us. We will also be hosting a giveaway at the end of March. There are two ways to gain entries into the giveaway and each person can gain a maximum of two entries. The first is to create a TBR and either tweet it to us or post it in the TBR Thread in our Goodreads Group. The second way is to create a post in our Finishing Line thread in our Goodreads Troup. This entry can only be earned in the Goodreads Group. After you finish each book, note it in your personal Finish Line post. You don't need to post each time you finish a book. Just update your post every time you finish a book.

I hope to interact with you either in our Goodreads Group or on our Twitter page! We are planning to host some reading sprints there, so if you would like to take part in those, please follow us. Our sprint schedule will be announced soon. Please also subscribe to my co-hosts channels, LizzyfayeLovesBooks and Troi Towel for other announcements. Let me know if you have any questions and if you are planning on joining us in March.

Until Next Time, Take Care & Smi-Le Always!

Books: My Thoughts on Meltdown (Sevens #4) by Scott Wallens

Meltdown by Scott Wallens My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed this book a little more than the previous. I could connect a bit more with Jane on a personal level than I have been with the other characters. That is usually the case for me though when band is involved, as it is something that was a large part of my life for many years. Still having issues with the parents, however I am glad that it seems Jane is actually doing something to make her parents understand what she's feeling rather than just lashing out. A solid three star read for me though the story still hasn't wowed me. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Grim Reaper: End of Days

Grim Reaper: End of Days by Steve Alten My rating: 2 of 5 stars This was just ok for me. I suppose it wasn't the story I was expecting going in. It's a battle between good and evil with elements of spirituality and science, but there's a lot going on. There were many POVs and I felt like that made the story drag. This seems to be the start of a series per the last few pages in the book, but there have not been any subsequent novels published to date. I don't think I would've continued with this series if there were to be honest. This book did feel final enough for me in the epilogue. Though I didn't enjoy this book very much, I have been enjoying the author's MEG series a lot and will try other books by him in the future. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Jaws

Jaws by Peter Benchley My rating: 2 of 5 stars I was so fascinated by Meg that I thought I should probably check out this book. Yes, I've seen the movie, but I was still curious about the source material especially because I don't quite remember everything from the film. This one was available to stream for free through Audible for Prime Members so I thought, why not. It's been a while since I've seen the film, though I can say that when I watched it, I did think it was scary. I was a child when I watched it and as an adult, I don't think the movie will give me the same chilling feeling I had then. This book surely was not anything like I expected, and not in a positive way. The use of vulgar language and a derogatory word right off the bat did not help matters for me. The writing style didn't agree with me and the story itself was very dated. The descriptions of the attacks were not chilling or suspenseful to me and the end ...
