I'm late to post, but back for 2019. Last year I failed on posting but kept up with the reading-which I guess is most important! 2018 was the first year I've stuck to the categories for the whole year, and I had one of my best reading years in forever. Hopefully this year I can do as well reading, and also post more.
Categories are very similar to last year, with a few tweaks.

*1 Classic DONE
**2 Published in 2019 DONE
**3 Italy*
***4 Music Television*
*****5 Hodgepodge DONE
******6 Best of 2018 DONE
*******7 Memoirs DONE
*******8 Non-Fiction*
********9 90s Fiction*
