March Mystery Madness is a Booktube Readathon…. totally the in thing right now as it is the month of March, and who does’t love a good mystery novel?

FYI – I have no part in creating this readathon. I am a participant, blogging about it.

2020 March Mystery Madness prompts

2020 is the fifth anniversary of March Mystery Madness, so the number five is used for some of the prompts.

You can double up… meaning, you can use one book for more than one prompt.

1. Read at least five mystery books! (Though, if you read at least one, you’re participating.)

2. Read the fifth book in a series.

3. Read a book with five or more words in the title

4. Read a book with a page count divisible by five.

5. Read a book with the number five or “Fifth” in title

6. Read a book first published in a year divisible by five.

7. Read a book published in May of any year, since it is the fifth month.

8. Since the five year anniversary gift is wood, read a book with something made of wood on the cover.

Books for each of the prompts

1. Read five mystery books! (Though, if you read at least one, you’re participating.)

I can’t honestly say I expect to read five mystery books this month. I have a couple of long books I’m dealing with right now. I will try.

I’m currently reading The Thirteenth Tale. The mystery is … why has a famous writer kept her life so secretive until her old age?

2. Read the fifth book in a series.

You can find hundreds of series on Amazon.

3. Read a book with five or more words in the title.

My choice is The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Here are a few more to choose from.

4. Read a book with a page count divisible by five.

This book has exactly 400 pages (paperback).

5. Read a book with the number five or “Fifth” in title.

Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie looks like a good book.

6. Read a book first published in a year divisible by five.

2020 is divisible by 5. All these mystery novels are published in 2020.

7. Read a book published in May of any year, since it is the fifth month.

Here’s one I might want to read.

About Me

Hi, I'm Linda, the Book Lady, and I'm excited about reading. A book is a gift you give yourself. It is so much fun to open that cover and discover what was hidden within. Books share the wisdom of the ages with us. Who wouldn't want that? So I read frequently and encourage reading. If you're a reader, let me know by becoming my friend on GoodReads.


My novel, River Girl, is about a girl living in the Klamath River Valley.
