Six Shooter Mystery Reading Challenge 2024

Today's highlighted author of 6+ mysteries: Alan Bradley creator of the Flavia de Luce mystery series. See who 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: May 1: Linda B (Kentucky) carves notch #9 with the Old Time Radio series Let George Do It !

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.
