COMPLETED

I’m starting to compile my year list of books I’ve read in 2011 and I’m astounded at the number of mysteries I’ve consumed this past year: about 35% of my reading. That, combined with the fact that I’ve already signed up for the Vintage Mystery Reading Challenge makes Cruisin’ through the Cozies, hosted by Yvonne at Socrates’ Book Reviews an easy fit.

I wasn’t going to enter at the Super Sleuth level but after compiling those stats, I’m thinking it will be a piece of cake to read 13 or more cozy mysteries in 2012.
