2019 Reading Challenge

I always start the year with the intention of updating my reading challenge post, but I never seem to get past the first few months' worth of reading (I didn't update past January in 2018!). That's not going to deter me from trying again, though! And this year I have a new system: instead of double-checking on Goodreads what I've read, I have a spreadsheet set up with all of the challenges, and as I list the books I read, I can check off if it meets the challenge. Hopefully that'll help ...
