2013 Mystery/Crime Reading Challenge

Like Amy at The Crafty Book Nerd, I love a good mystery.  My favorites are the Vintage/Golden Age detective novels--including those by Christie, Sayers and Doyle my favorite authors include Agatha Christie, James Patterson, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (evidenced by my own Vintage Mystery Challenge).  That being the case, picking up this challenge won't add too much to the reading list for 2013.

Here are the basics if you want to join in the fun (for full details and to link up, jump on Amy's link above):
1.) The challenge starts January 1, 2013 and ends  December 31, 2013.
2.) You can read any novel, short story or author just so that the genre is mystery/crime.
3.) 1 novel counts as 1 novel( 1 novel is anything over 100 pages) of course but you will have to read 5 short stories to count as 1 novel.
4.) There will be a monthly post for you to add a link or links to your post showing the progress that you have made so far.  AND monthly drawings for those who link up.

There are various levels based on how many books you read.  I'm going for the top:

30+ books = Sherlock Holmes
