Cat Mystery Readers discussion

Two of my favorite things are cats and mysteries. So, I figured the *purrfect* reading challenge for me would be reading cat mysteries. It's very simple, this challenge is all about reading mysteries that have cats as the main characters. Here are a few examples...

Joe Grey Mysteries by Shirley Rousseau Murphy
Midnight Louie Mysteries by Carole Nelson Douglas
A Cats In Trouble Mysteries by Leann Sweeney
A Klepto Cat Mysteries by Patricia Fry
Black Cat Bookshop Mysteries by Ali Brandon
Cat Who Mysteries by Lilian Jackson Braun
Cat in the Stacks Mysteries by Miranda James
Bookmobile Cat Mysteries by Laurie Cass
Theda Krakow Mysteries by Clea Simon
Black Cat Mysteries by Elaine Faber

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens more. You can find a list here, but you aren't limited to just these choices. If you find others, that's great.

Here are the levels you can choose from:

Purring - Read 1-10 cat mysteries
Kneading - Read 11-20 cat mysteries
Meowing - Read 21-30 cat mysteries
Catnip - Go crazy and read at least 31 and go as high as you'd like - the sky is the limit!

The challenge will begin on January 1, 2018 and end on December 31, 2018.

The rules are really simple.

1. Any book read for this challenge has to be a mystery and have a cat that plays a major role in the book.

2. You may make a list of books at the beginning of the challenge or you can just list them as you find them.

3. Book titles may be swapped out at anytime for those who make a list in advance.

4. Crossovers with other challenges are permitted and encouraged.

5. Books can be in any format of your choice (print, audio, ebooks)

6. To sign up, choose one of the levels from the above list and create a folder for yourself in this folder. Or you can sign up on my blog at https://socratesbookreviews.blogspot....

Enjoy and have fun!

I’m going to try for “Meowing”. I hope to start with “The Cat Who....” series and it has 29 books in it. Let’s see if I can finish them all. :)

Good luck with them. That's one series I haven't read yet.

Welcome!

To create a folder for yourself...

Go to the upper right where it says "create new topic"

In the topic name, put yours and then make sure it says you are in the 2019 folder.

In the comment section, let us know what your goal is and then click on post.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I think I'll begin with "Purring", and I'll be checking if I can go further... And checking books from another participants, for sure...

Catnip time!

I'm trying for "Purring"! Thanks for the series suggestions!

Have fun everyone!

Now with so many challenges I signed up for I think I will pass my purring level 😊

I completed the "purring" level last year and had a blast! I think I will do the same this year. I don't know which books I will be reading, but wonderful cat mysteries just seem to find me - so I'm excited to see which ones will cross my path.

ill go for kneading this year :) I'm reading the Hannah Swanson books right now, it has a cat but unfortunately not a huge part of the story. hopefully that's ok
