Cruisin’ Thru the Cozies 2017
This is the seventh annual Cruisin’ thru the Cozies hosted by Yvonne at Socrates’ Book Reviews and 2017 is my 5th year to participate. I read a lot of these and have made the top level long before the year ends. Usually the levels are to read a certain number of books but this year Yvonne is changing it up by making us move out of our comfort zone and read several genres. This is perfect for me as I have a bunch of new-to-me series on my shelves that I have wanted to start and see if I like, but I keep reading my favs instead. So once again, I am shooting for Level 4 – Sleuth Extraordinaire.
The Levels:
Level one (Snoop) – Read one book in each of these cozy sub-genres (total of 10 books)
Level two (Investigator) – Read all the books in level one plus an additional 10 cozy books of your choice (total of 20)
Level three (Super Sleuth) – Read two books from each sub-genre in level one plus an additional 10 cozy books of your choice (total of 30 books)
Level four (Sleuth Extraordinaire) – Read two books from each sub-genre in level one plus an additional 20 cozy books of your choice (total of 40 books)
The categories and my TBR hopefuls:
– One from culinary (The Diva Runs Out of Thyme & The Diva Takes the Cake by Krista Davis)
– One from animal-related (Six Geese A-Slaying & Swan for the Money by Donna Andrews)
– One from craft-related (The Lover’s Knot & A Drunkard’s Path by Clare O’Donohue)
– One from paranormal (Witch Hunt & The Witch is Dead by Shirley Damsgaard)
– One from British cozy mysteries (Terror on Tuesday & Weeping on Wednesday by Ann Purser)
– One career-based cozy mystery (Devil’s Trumpet & Deadly Nightshade by Mary Freeman)
– One holiday-based (Aunt Dimity’s Christmas by Nancy Atherton & Duck the Halls by Donna Andrews)
– One travel mystery (Alpine for You & Top O’the Mourning by Maddy Hunter)
– One historical mystery (The Ninth Daughter & A Marked Man by Barbara Hamilton)
