After successfully completing last year’s Vintage Mystery Reading Challenge, I’m going to try to do the same in 2014.
The rules to this year’s challenge are explained over at My Reader’s Block. Basically I’m going to be trying to complete the Silver bingo card which covers books first published in the period 1960 to 1989.
So that’s 36 books in total – it should be OK, although I only seem to have read 2 books in January, so I’ll need to speed up a little…

How cool, I will be watching for the choices you make for these books. I love mysteries written in this period. I am doing both Gold and Silver, but I am sure I will not do that many of either.

I was glad to see a silver option as a lot of my TBR is later than 1960.

I had a several followers tell me they like to see an expansion on the years allowed. I’m happy to oblige!

Good luck, my aims are more modest , just a line on silver and gold, or maybe corners!

Looks like a really interesting challenge, almost makes me sorry I have sworn off them this year…

I did my first Vintage Mystery last year – I mainly enjoyed choosing appropriate categories for the books.
