Cruisin' Thru the Cozies 2012 (or Yes, I found another one)

I'm addicted. I admit it. I've never met a reading challenge I didn't like. And I can't possibly turn down one that's all about mysteries. So...here I am signing up for Socrates' Book Reviews: Cruisin' Thru the Cozies. Love me some mysteries and love me some cozies.

Here's a quick run-down. If you want the full scoop, hop on over to her place and check it out. And sign up....and pick up 8 or 10 more challenges while you're at it, so I won't look quite so crazy.

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, 2012 and ends December 31, 2012.

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.

There's more...but you get the idea. Go sign up. Do it now!
