*The Goodreads "Reading" Challenge includes all types of books, including audiobooks.

With this Craving for Cozies Challenge that is hosted by Escape With Dollycas Into a Good Book, I am tasked with reading or listening to 1-25 cozy mysteries between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023. This is the Peckish level. If I read or listen to more than 25 cozy mysteries before the end of the year, I will level up to Famished (26-100 cozy mysteries). 

I participated in Cruisin' thru the Cozies Reading Challenge, hosted by Socrates Book Reviews in 2022 for the first time. I found the group and participated in the challenge on Goodreads, but this year I am participating in the blogosphere. There are two ways to participate - read specific themes within the cozy mystery genre or read any cozy mysteries of my choice. In 2022 I chose to read in the assigned themes so that I could find a variety and figure out which ones I prefer. Now that I know myself better, I am choosing to read or listen to any cozy mysteries of my choice. I will begin with Level One (Snoop) and read or listen to10 cozy mysteries. After that I will level up. I have from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 to complete this challenge.

UPDATE 04/24: For Cruisin' thru the Cozies, I am now leveling up to Investigator (read or listen to 20 cozies)! 

UPDATE 06/27: For Cruisin' thru the Cozies, I am now leveling up to Super Sleuth (read or listen to 30 cozies)! 

UPDATE 07/30: Craving for Cozies I am now leveling up to Famished (read or listen to 26-100
cozies)!

UPDATE 9/26: For Cruisin' thru the Cozies, I am now leveling up to Sleuth Extraordinaire (read or listen to 40 cozies)! This is the highest level in this challenge.

UPDATE 12/01: I completed the Cruisin' thru the Cozies challenge!
