Challenge Officially Over

Sorry it's taken me so long to get this post up!   The Challenge officially ended Sept. 30th. 

I am very happy I was able to offer giveaway's this year and I hope you all enjoyed that added benefit too.
Speaking of giveaways, the winner for the Challenge end giveawa is Yvonne Hodorowski.  Congratulations Yvonne!!!  I've notified the publisher today so hopefully you'll get the books soon.

Once again I want to thank everyone for participating and making this challenge a success.  You all know I love cozies and love to spread the cozy love around.

I have updated the 2011 reads, it should be up-to-date with all the books you wonderful participants read for this years challenge.  Sorry that always took me longer than expected.  Things have been crazy and I was in full training mode for a half marathon and working out a ton.   Changes are coming for me soon but I'm hoping that I'll still be able to host this challenge next year.  Fingers crossed!

Challenge completed - form

I do believe some of you have already finished this challenge..way to go!     I know I'm incredibly late in getting this published, I apologize.    Better late than never though right?

Cozy Mystery Challenge is now over!

I can't believe it's that time already..time for the challenge to be over!

I bet you all did great!!!!

I'm going to leave the September reads form open through the 15th.  This gives people a chance to link up all their reviews.  If you want to link reviews for other months, please just link them all on the September form since I won't be checking the other forms to see which are new additions to the list.  After the 15th I will then update the page that has all the books read and links to your reviews.

Please make sure you also complete the form for having completed the challenge and for the give-aways!  The last chance to sign-up for the give-aways is 10/15 at midnight, central time.  I'll use random.org to pick a winner and will post the info that weekend.

I'm going to start making the bookmarks and getting those sent out too.  Everyone is going to get the same one this year.  I finally came up with a design this week and I'm hoping to make most of them this weekend.  I hope you like it..it's a surprise until you receive it!

I want to thank all of you for participating this year!  I had so many more from last year.  It's exciting to see this one grow each year.   Of course, as of right now I plan to host this one again in 2011.  Same place, Same time.  Hope to see you all come back and feel free to bring a friend.

I know that for me personally, I had started to drift away from cozies even though I love them and this challenge made me read more and fall back in love with the genre.
