Finding Excuses to Read Mystery Novels

Alright, you don't really need an excuse to read mystery books. But, why not take some time out of your busy schedule to celebrate wacky holidays by reading a new mystery?

Many of today's mystery authors toss in some humor to their writing, so why can't we toss in a little humor to our reading? Silly things like Mud Pack Day, Junk Food Day, even National Adopt a Cat Month.

I'll take the example of National Adopt a Cat Month, which is June. OK, so we just passed it but you can still get the idea. Read a book that involves a Cat Sleuth. There are plenty of mysteries written from the cat's point of view.

Then take Mud Pack Day. It's on September 20th. I'll bet you can figure out how to use that day to sneak in some mystery novel reading.

There are literally thousands of these wacky holidays designated for some fun activities. You can join me in celebrating these by reading old favorite mysteries or starting a new mystery series. That's my kind of celebrating.
