I love me a good, fluffy, cozy mystery book. It’s like a cartoon in print. Plucky heroine, Scooby-Doo style mystery, and usually a plot that could be getting you blitzed if you were playing an adapted version of the Hallmark Christmas Movie Drinking Game.
So what am I doing? Adding to my to-read pile with EscapeWithDollyCas.com’s 2019 Craving for Cozies Reading Challenge!

As with most reading challenges, there are levels different levels to aspire to in fulfilling your cozy literary cravings:
- Peckish: 1 – 25 Cozy Mysteries
- Famished: 26 – 51 Cozy Mysteries
- Yearning: 51 – 75 Cozy Mysteries
- Starving: 76 – 100 Cozy Mysteries
- Ravenous: 101 – 125 Cozy Mysteries
- Voracious: 126 – 150 Cozy Mysteries
- Overindulged: 151 – 200 Cozy Mysteries
- Pigged Out: 201 or more Cozy Mysteries
I have a lot of other reading challenges going in 2019. Because I want to read my #200books, I’m taking part in the Keyword Challenge, Color Coded Reading Challenge, Sweet Southern Reading Challenge, the Cloak & Dagger Challenge, the Diversify Reading Challenge, and the Golden Trio Reading Challenge in addition to this one.
So I’ll be doing the Yearning Level: 55 cozy books! I can chomp through them pretty fiercely when I’m not feeling well.
