All mysteries must have been originally written before 1960. <br /><br />Depending on what you have...you could do an "alphabet of crime"--8 books with authors with first or last names in alphabetical order (A-H or whatever combination works) or titles in order.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-87677733829996158392012-07-27T16:52:46.446-04:002012-07-27T16:52:46.446-04:00Can we do 1960 on the nose? 60s & 70s are a b...Can we do 1960 on the nose? 60s & 70s are a breeze for me but I have plenty older.

Sorry.<br /><br />Re-reads are fine. I'm doing a couple myself.
