Hosted by: Bev @ My Reader's Block
Dates: 1 January - 31 December, 2013
See the challenge announcement / sign-up page
The goal here is to read mystery/suspense novels published before 1960. Bev has come up with a list of 30 categories, and participants will read a minimum of 8 books (or 4 books in the mini-challenge) which fall into 8 different categories. Read all the guidelines and see the list of categories on the challenge announcement page, HERE.
I debated about this one for a while, since it's a little more structured than the challenges I usually attempt -- I really do better when I don't have too many rules to follow. But after thinking it over a bit, I realized there was no way I could pass up this challenge. I love vintage mysteries, and there are hundreds of them on my TBR list. However, I'm going to hold off on choosing categories until I can do a survey of the vintage whodunits I've already got on my shelves -- might as well read the books I've already got. Right? Except for that freebie "Get Out of Jail" category -- I'm pretty sure I'll be using that one.
During the year I'll be tracking my progress on my challenge blog HERE.
Welcome aboard! I'm so glad you decided to join in. See you in 2013!
