We reached mid-year this week and so in one of my posts I checked my progress against my New Year's resolutions and the challenges I've joined.
Mid year stocktake

Another post invites you to tell us about your best crime fiction reads so far this year. Best Crime Fiction Reads 2011: mid way report

These challenges don't necessarily involve participants in new reading for the challenge itself (although a list of books that you'd like to read could be a result), but allow you to point to books you've already read, or reviews you've already written, or to dabble in a bit of research.
Although the challenge relates to crime fiction reading, you don't have to be a crime fiction addict like I am to participate. Crime Fiction on a EuroPass begins on August 1. The blog post has a Mr Linky where you can sign up.
Check out the countries we'll visit in the 12 week schedule.
