Reading Challenge: Cruisin' Through the Cozies and Craving for Cozies Challenges 2020

It's 2020, and that means it is time to start signing up for reading challenges. There won't be any surprises what on my reading challenge list this year. I haven't even looked for any new ones.

Of course, I'm signing up for Cruisin' Through the Cozies and Craving for Cozies again this year.

For Curisin', I'm going with Option A, which is read any cozies you want (as opposed to reading across the sub-genres). And I'm going for the Sleuth Extraordinaire level, with is 40 cozies.

For Craving, I'm going to stick with Yearning, which is 51-75 cozies. Based on what I read this year, I should probably jump up to the next level, but I like to keep my reading challenges fun and not stressful.
