This year I am taking part in the Beachcomber Reading Challenge. I am so excited because I am hoping this will help me read more mystery books during the year. The goal is to find items to place in our mystery beach bags. The cabanas of the Beachcombers Reading Challenge are waiting and beachcombers can fill their bags from now until December 31, 2021.
Now, Rick gave us bingo cards to use and I printed mine off to keep near my reading chair but I wanted to use some here as this is where I will be tracking my books and the things I find. So I created some using the one we were provided as a template. I will be updating these as I find items, adding a star or something to show they have been found. I will also list the item and a link to my

OMgoodness! I miss my Working Mother’s Group reading club so much as I read about your BeachCombers contest and individual beach bags. I have tagged your page (Crime Scenes, Detectives, Victims, Weapons) and will bring this idea up when I get a chance to attend a book club meeting.
