2022 Six Shooter Mystery Reading Challenge

Today's highlighted author of 6+ mysteries: Leslie Charteris creator of the Simon Templar (The Saint) series. See who is reading this author.

Welcome to the 2022 Six Shooter Challenge! Your goal is to shoot (read) six mysteries by the same target (author). You get one notch on your gun for each target completed. After your first target completion, you get bonus points for each additional notch. Unlike many reading challenges, reading more books may not necessarily help your score. Scores are not based upon quantity, but rather strategy in reaching your target(s). Read the General Information page and then submit your shot. T H E       L A T E S T       L E A D L I N E S : Dec 9: Sanacrow carves: notch #20 with author Andrea Kane, notch #21 with author M. William Phelps, notch #22 with author Agatha Christie, and notch #23 with author Seanan McGuire; becoming the first gunslinger to come up with a score above 3.000, earning the new Ammonuensis Award! Dec 5: SueC carves notch #16 with author Sheila Connolly ! Nov 27: Avid Series Reader carves notch #3 with author Steve Martini and notch #4 with author Arthur W. Upfield! Do Not Rollover: If you have any partially completed targets which you do not want to pursue in 2023, send an email to your host (rickmills9@gmail.com) and let me know which ones. I will flag them with their DNR death sentence and they will not carry forward.
