Edgar Awards Reading Challenge

January 1 - December 31, 2011

Iubookgirl is hosting her very first challenge, the Edgar Awards Reading Challenge.  She writes:

I'm a mystery lover. It's practically all I read growing up. Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden and the author Phyllis A. Whitney were among my favorites. This is the reason I was shocked when I looked through the list of Edgar Award Winners for Best Novel. I haven't read any of them...ZERO! How can this be? At that moment, I decided I had to remedy the situation.

That's why I've set myself a challenge for 2011. I'm going to read all of the Best Novel winners since the year of my birth. This is the first challenge I've designed myself, so I'd love for you to join me. Below are the answers to some questions you might have before signing up.

What books are eligible for the Edgar Awards Reading Challenge?
Any Edgar Award winning books counts. Check out the possibilities here. Click on the banner at the top to access the database.
