Cruisin’ thru the Cozies Reading Challenge 2025

I’m starting to think about reading challenges I want to join for next year. First up is the Cruisin’ thru the Cozies Reading Challenge hosted by Yvonne at Socrates’ Book Reviews. I’m aiming at being an investigator, reading 20 cozy mysteries of my choice hopefully including one from each of the categories below.

• One from culinary – Knife Skills for Beginners by Orlando Murrin
• One from animal-related – 
• One from craft related –
• One from paranormal – Haunting and Homicide by Ava Burke
• One from cozy mysteries based outside the US – A Death in Diamonds by S. J. Bennett
