Bev at My Reader’s Block has a new challenge this year.   Instead of Bingo, we’re going on a scavenger hunt!   She’s provided a long list of mysterious items to find on the covers of the golden or silver age mysteries we read.  I figure I still read enough physical books to join in the fun.   I’m a golden age reader, in case you haven’t noticed, which by Bev’s definition is up to and including 1960.

This sounds like fun!

This coming week 1/4-10 is Bout of Books 15.   I’m never much good at it, but try, try again, right?

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 4th and runs through Sunday, January 10th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 15 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

And with all the challenges I need as much encouragement as I can get.
