Because of all that’s been going on in my life lately, & with new adventures on the horizon in the coming year, I’ve decided to scale back my challenges for next year. They are supposed to be fun & push me to read my books, so I’ve decided to stick with my favorites. These are challenges I’ve done for several years now, some for over a decade, so I know & love them.
This one gets me to read my shelves. I am going for Mt. Ararat, which is 48 books; but hoping to hit Mt. Kilimanjaro again, which is 60 books.
The Mystillery hosts 3 challenges: the Medical Examiner Mystery, the Six Shooter Mystery, & the Century Club Mystery. The last is a perpetual challenge & I only have one more book to finish that up, so I really should get that done next year. The Six Shooter’s goal is to shoot (read) six mysteries by the same target (author) & I did 17 notches on my gun last year, so that was a bunch of series! The Medical Examiner’s goal is to read murder mysteries and attach toe tags to the unfortunate victim(s). I read 95 mysteries last year for a total of 409 toe tags & I aim to read a bunch in 2023 as I work through my mystery series & stand-alones. The Mystillery also hosts 2 seasonal games that add some fun to the year.
I’ve done the What’s in a Name challenge for several years, and I’ve also be joined it. And that will be the extent of my challenges, although I also participate in a goodreads group challenge called Deck of Cards.
Happy New Year 2023!
Always glad to see you in The Mystillery!
