Vintage Mystery Challenge Wrap-up

The Vintage Mystery Challenge at My Reader's Block asks you to read 8 books, each from a separate category. There is a "bonus" challenge of sorts to read 16 books. I really enjoyed these vintage mysteries and the whole thing got a bit out of hand. I ended up reading books for 21 of the categories. I also read a few additional vintage mysteries this year that fit categories I had already covered. I really liked reading these!
