The Color Coded Reading Challenge 2019 - My Sign-Up

Well, that was fast! No sooner did I finish this challenge for 2018 than I decided to go ahead and put in for next year.

Bev at My Reader's Block runs a pleasantly relaxed challenge and I enjoy the way it pushes me to read my chosen books without giving me too many rules to follow. As one example of this, the colors can be in the book titles or appear on the cover. That makes it easy to mine my TBR pile for books that will work.
