2013 Challenge: The Vintage Mystery Challenge

Even though I cut way back on challenges in 2013, I can't resist the Vintage Mystery Challenge that Bev hosts on My Reader's Block. The idea is to read mysteries first published prior to 1960.

This year, Bev has a "Scattegories" theme requiring participants to read eight books, each from a different category.  Click on the button or link above for all the details or to sign up.
