The Mystillery hosts 3 challenges. The Medical Examiner Mystery got me 98 books for a total of 340 toe tags. I racked up 13 notches in The Six Shooter Mystery, which has the goal to shoot (read) six mysteries by the same target (author). The Mystillery also hosts 2 seasonal games that add some fun to the year, & I completed the 2022-23 Ten Pins bowling game, plus the 2023 AbraCadavers baseball game.

I finished the What’s in a Name? challenge that I’ve done for several years by reading these:
