UPDATE: I finished my challenge today, August 18, 2018, what a fun cruise!
This sounded like a fun challenge when Yvonne at Socrates’ Book Reviews posted about it on her blog. Here’s the original post. I’m also tracking mine at Goodreads.
I’m jumping in at Level 4 since all I read are cozies anyway. I think that Option B sounds fun so I’ll just keep editing as I go. Good luck to everyone! (Thank you to Jane Reads for letting me use your template!)
