Six Shooter Mystery Reading Challenge 2024

Today's highlighted author: Susan Wittig Albert creator of The Darling Dahlias mystery series. Click the owl to see is targeting this author!

Welcome to the Six Shooter Mystery Reading Challenge for 2024! Your goal is simple: shoot (read) six mysteries by the same target (author). That gives you a notch on your gun, and a perfect 1.000 score; and you can call it done. But wait, there's more! 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 focus in completing your target(s). No advance signup needed. Just read the General Information page and then submit your shot to begin. R I C O C H E T S from the S H O O T I N G   G A L L E R Y: Sep 6: Erika Morris (California) carves notch #2 with author John Sandford!

Key to symbols
Notch	Sets of six books by one author completed
TCP	Target Completion Percentage. This is similar to a baseball batting average. Ratio of notches achieved to the number of shots taken. The formula is (notches/shots)*6. See the chart (PDF). Shots which complete a target will increase your TCP. Shots which do not complete a target will decrease your TCP. A perfect TCP is 1.000 or any multiple.
Shots	Number of books read
Bonus	Each notch (beyond the first one) directly adds a 0.100 bonus
