2024 Vintage Scavenger wrapup


This is my wrap up post for Bev Hankins' 2024 Vintage Scavenger Hunt challenge. I participated in the Gold (pre-1960) version. Bev lists 90 items to be on the hunt for during the year.

During 2024, I read 147 books. Most of the books I read came from my own shelves, with a scattering of Kindle titles. Of that 147, I found 50 had cover images that met the challenge (exactly the same amount as in 2023! )

 Most of my books do not have dust jackets, so I look online to find them if needed. My best resource is dustjackets.com or Goodreads.

Then I put the book details on this spreadsheet which I invite you to check. The green lines indicate a book matching the challenge. The "Cover" links will take you to either my review (with a cover image) or just the cover image alone if I did not review it.

I enjoyed the 2024 gold challenge - and will be back for the 2025 version, and hoping we have more challengers this time around for this fun challenge! Thanks, Bev, for hosting!

2025 Vintage Scavenger Hunt

 


Bev Hankins at My Reader's Block is sponsoring the 2025 Vintage Scavenger Hunt. The challenge page is located here

The goal is to find as many objects on the scavenger hunt list as possible on the covers of the mystery books you read. I am working the Golden Age era. Here is the list:




 Progress will be recorded on this spreadsheet.
