Presenting: Teen Detectives, Inc.!

If there's anything my twenty-something years of reading have taught me, it's that if you have a crime that's been committed (whether it's murder, or arson, or burglary) and if you have a mystery to be solved (lost treasure, or voices in the night, or haunted towers) then there's no point calling in the police. No, the best possible people to get in on the case are: teenagers. This year, my focus is going to be on mocking - that is to say, celebrating - the world of teen detectives.

March 2009 to March April 2010, I was doing my 52 Book Challenge, wherein I read a book that was completely new to me, every week, for a year. That's now done and dusted, and I was left wondering what to with my blog in 2010. This year is thesis year for me, which means I have less time for pleasure reading then I would otherwise, but I can see no reason why I couldn't be spending my time reading some relatively short books and blogging about them. I'm probably not going to be updating as *cough* regularly as I have for the past year, but I'll do my best, and hopefully it will be a lot of fun.

So, update your bookmarks with the blog's new name, and come hang out with me (and Nancy, and Frank, and Trixie, and Timmy the Dog, and Meg, and the BSC...) while I give some in-depth analysis of these detectives and their mysteries. And by 'in-depth analysis' I mean 'recapping and eye-rolling'. The first post, The Double Jinx Mystery, will be coming soon.

It's going to be a good year.
