Cozies and Mysteries Galore

 

Mysteries and Thrillers



There are several challenges that track how many mysteries, thrillers and cozies you read in a given year.  


Cloak and Dagger  #CloakDaggerChal

The first mystery based genre challenge I will do again this year is the Cloak and Dagger challenge

 It is hosted by  Carol on her CarolsNotebook blog.  This tallying includes cozy mysteries but also traditional mysteries, thrillers and suspense novels.  Basically anything with a mystery can be tracked at this challenge

Levels:

  •  5-15 books – Amateur sleuth
  • 16-25 books – Detective- 
  • 26-35 books – Inspector
  • 36 – 55 – Special agent 
  • 56+ books – Sherlock Holmes  My Choice

The second is Craving for a Cozy hosted by Dolly at EscapewithDollyCas  As the name implies this just involves reading and tallying cozy mysteries.   

 


         

Levels

  • Peckish – 1 – 25 Cozy Mysteries
  • Famished – 26 – 51 Cozy Mysteries  
  • Yearning – 51 – 75 Cozy Mysteries 
  • Starving  – 76 – 100 Cozy Mysteries THIS IS MY GOAL
  • Ravenous – 101 – 125 Cozy Mysteries
  • Voracious – 126 – 150 Cozy Mysteries 
  • Overindulged – 151 – 200 Cozy Mysteries
  • Pigged Out – 201 or more Cozy Mysteries
You can always go up a level but you can’t go down.
