I just finished the Suspense & Thriller 2008/2009 Challenge! The rules were to read twelve books total; six in 2008 and 6 in 2009. And each book had to belong to one of the subcategories that were listed on the challenge homepage. There were a lot of different categories to choose from, but I found myself repeating many of the categories and that’s why it took me so long to finish this challenge. However I was pleasantly surprised to see that the last book I read (A Tisket, a Tasket, a Fancy Stolen Casket) would fit nicely into the cozy mystery category to complete this challenge. Plus this is my first completed challenge for 2009 so it’s a great big sigh of relief for me!!! Here’s what I read:
- J.T. Ellison, All the Pretty Girls (serial killer thriller)
- W.E.B. Griffin, By Order of the President (military thriller)
- Laura Lippman, To the Power of Three (drama thriller)
- Patricia Cornwell, Postmortem (forensic mystery)
- James Patterson, The 8th Confession (police procedural thriller)
- Fran Rizer, A Tisket, a Tasket, a Fancy Stolen Casket (cozy mystery)
Favorite: All the Pretty Girls (Ellison) and To the Power of Three (Lippman)
Least Favorite: Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Lindsay)
