Cruisin' thru the Cozies

 

Yvonne @ Socrates Book Review Blog is hosting the Cruisin' thru the Cozies reading challenge for the third year. I love cozy mysteries and have a ton of unread ones so this sounds like the perfect challenge for me.

 

If you aren't sure what a cozy mystery is, it's basically a mystery with little-to-no violence, swearing or sex where an amateur sleuth has to solve a murder. If you'd like to know more, visit cozy-mystery.com where you can find a more in-depth explanation plus detailed lists of all of the varieties of cozies available (like culinary, craft, music, animals, holidays - you name it!)

The Rules

1. Choose the level you wish to participate:
• Level 1 - Snoop - Read at least 6 books
• Level 2 - Investigator - Read 7-12 books
• Level 3 - Super Sleuth - Read 13 or more books
2. The challenge runs from January 1, 2013 and ends December 31, 2013.
3. You don't have to choose your books in advance. If you do, you can change your list at any time during the year. Books can overlap with other challenges.
4. Books can be in any format - paper, audio, ebooks...it all counts!
5. You don't have to post a review, but I'm sure others would love to know about the books you are reading and may even want to add it to their reading lists. NOTE: If you don't have a blog and want to participate, that's fine. You don't have to have a blog, just post in the comments section as you finish books. If you belong to a site like Goodreads and review the books there, that's fine too. Just leave us the link.
6. Take the button above, put it on your blog and post about the challenge. Then add your name to Mr. Linky below. Just click here. Please use the link of your challenge post, not the link to your home page.
7. I'm going to have one link for signing up, one link for completed reviews and one link for your wrap up posts. I won't be having a monthly link, just one for all reviews read for this challenge

I'm going to aim for Snoop to start with, but I may move up a level (or more) depending on how my reading goes this year. If you think this sounds like fun, click here to sign up.
