Craving For Cozies 2017 – Reading Challenge
Cozy mysteries, also referred to simply as “cozies”, are a sub-genre of crime fictionmysteries in which sex and violence are downplayed or treated humorously, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community. The crime solver is an amateur sleuth, usually but not always a woman, who is thrust into the aftermath of the murder. The protagonist frequently has an occupation or hobby that brings appealing information to the reader.
The challenge runs from January 1, 2017 and ends December 31, 2017

Just signed up for the challenge! I have so many cozies on my Kindle app just waiting to be read, this will give me the perfect excuse! 😛 Here is my blog post link: https://christineocheallaigh.wordpress.com/2017/01/14/craving-for-cozies-reading-challenge-2017/
I’ve never been good at figuring out how to use those buttons everyone seems so fond of, and not sure where I’d put it on my WordPress site anyway, so I guess my sharing the challenge everywhere and posting about it on my site will have to do.
With all the other books I plan to read this year, assuming I get them all read, I should easily be able to make Yearning level, but we’ll see.
I am joining at the Peckish level.
I have just added “The Mysterious Death of Miss Jane Austen” by Lindsay Ashford. I have to say it was a wonderful book, and I learned so much about Jane Austen. ???
I have recently reviewed The Champagne Conspiracy by Ellen Crosby here: http://readingbooksagain.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-champagne-conspiracy.html.
I have just reviewed Susan Wittig Albert’s The Last Chance Olive Ranch here: http://readingbooksagain.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-last-chance-olive-ranch.html.
Is Facebook the only way to add a book review link? I am confused where to put my reviews. Nevertheless, I have just reviewed The Perplexing Theft of the Jewel in the Crown by Vaseem Khan here: http://readingbooksagain.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-perplexing-theft-of-jewel-in-crown.html?m=0
I’ve finished my commitment! Wrap-up Post HERE. Thanks for sponsoring!
