Cruisin’ Thru the Cozies 2018
This was the eighth annual Cruisin’ thru the Cozies hosted by Yvonne at Socrates’ Book Reviews and 2018 is my 6th year to participate. I always reach Level 4 – Sleuth Extraordinaire, but in keeping with my word for this year, I lightened my load and rather than jettison this fun challenge, I lowered my level to Level two (Investigator) and chose option B. This turned out to be a good choice as many things happened this year to keep me from reading and I barely made it with two weeks left in the year.
Level two (Investigator) –
A) Read 20 cozy mysteries of your choice.
B) Read all the books in level one plus an additional 10 cozy books of your choice (total of 20)
The sub-genre categories:
– One from culinary Egg Drop Dead (Cackleberry Club #7), Laura Childs
– One from animal-related The Real Macaw (Meg Langslow #13), by Donna Andrews
– One from craft-related A Drunkard’s Path (Someday Quilts Mysteries #2), Clare O’Donohue
