Reading Challenge: Cruisin' Through the Cozies and Craving for Cozies Challenges 2021

My plan for 2021 includes reading lots of cozies.  That's why I will be signing up again for both Cruisin' Through the Cozies and Craving for Cozies Challenges.

I'm not planning to change my level of participation in either of the challenges.  For Cruisin', I'm still with Level Four - Sleuth Extraordinaire, which means reading 40 or more cozies.  I'm going with option A, which is reading any sub-genre you want.

For Craving, I'm sticking with Yearning, which is 51-75.  Yes, I did hit the higher reaches of the next level up in 2020, but I feel like this is still a good goal.
