Criminal Plot Challenge

January 1 - December 31, 2011

Jen is hosting the Criminal Plots Reading Challenge on its own dedicated blog.

The goal is to read six books ... One for each of the following categories:

1.A book by a new to you author who's blurbed a book you enjoyed. So check out the cover of a crime fiction book you've enjoyed and see who blurbed that book and is also an author you've never read before.
Think of a Number by John Verdon

2.A book that has been made into a movie. It doesn't have to be a movie you've seen but it can be. The book, however, should be one you haven't read before.
The Help by Katherine Stockett

3.A book with a protagonist opposite your own gender. So if you're female, the protagonist should be male; if you're male the protagonist should be female.
Tick Tock by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge


4.A book set outside the country in which you live.
The Topkapi Secret by Terry Kelhawk (Turkay)

5.A book that's the first in a new-to-you series.
Gideon's Sword by Preston & Childs

6.A book by a 2011 debut author.
The Secret Lives of Dresses by Erin McKean
