About this Blog--Vintage Mystery 2013 Challenge

I've decided to join a mystery reading challenge, Bev's Vintage Mystery Reading Challenge for 2013, and wanted to have a blog just for the mysteries I read.  Here is some info about the Challenge--

Vintage Mystery Reading Challenge 2013: Scattergories

General Rules:

*All novels must have been originally written before 1960 and be from the mystery category (crime fiction, detective fiction, espionage, etc.).

*Each book may count for only one category.

*You are welcome to count these books towards any other challenges as well.

*Challenge runs from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Sign up any time between now and November 30, 2013.  Any books read from January 1 on may count regardless of your sign-up date. 


You can find out more about the challenge and the different categories at My Reader's Block.
Since books read since January 1, 2013 will count, I'm going to write reviews about some of the earlier books I've read this year, if they fit into any of the categories, in my next few blogs.

After looking over my reading over the last couple of months, and the books I've bought that I haven't read yet, I will be writing reviews for books in the following categories-

#1  Colorful Crime  **White Cottage Mystery by Margery Allingham 1928
#3  Amateur Night  ??Haven't decided on book yet
#4  Leave it to the Professionals   **Case of the Vanishing Beauty by Richard Prather   1950
