Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me. Please Note: This is a book blog. It is not a platform for advertising. Please do NOT contact me to ask that I promote your NON-book websites or products. Thank you.

Vintage Mystery Scavenger Hunt Wrap-up Posts and Prize Opportunity
Greetings, Vintage Mystery Challengers! Well, we're headed towards the homestretch for 2016 challenges and it's time to set the stage for wrap-up posts, prize drawings, and winners. Below, you will find the qualifications for prizes from the original challenge post:
*PRIZES!
1. Challengers who complete the minimum six books from a single era will be eligible for a drawing at the end of the year for a book from the prize list.
2. Challengers who complete 12 or more books (either from the same era or six from each era) will also be entered in a separate drawing--for another chance to win, again for their choice of a book from the prize list.
In addition:
A grand prize for the participant who finds the most objects overall. In case of a tie, there will be a tie-breaker round. Tie-breaker to be determined. {I'm pretty sure I know who the winner here is...unless there is a dark horse who has been keeping quiet on their finds....}
Please keep track of your progress and be prepared to submit a final wrap-up post or comment at the end of the year.
The wrap-up post (or comment) should include the title, author, and 1st pub date of each book as well as the item found. When you post your wrap-up on the the Linky below, use your name and card fulfillment in the "name" slot to help me identify which prize drawing/s you are eligible for. Use the example which indicates the level attained. Examples:
Bev (Gold 6-11)
Bev (12+)
If you do not blog, please use the same format to indicate your level and to list your books/items in a comment. The wrap-up post will be open until January 7, 2017 and the drawing will take place as soon as possible thereafter.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
