This was a great reading year for me. My average rating across all my 2019 reads was 3.6, and my average for the Popsugar challenge was 3.8.

Lessons learned:
- I reinforced that I shouldn't force myself to read something I'm not enjoying
- Using a challenge to slightly expand my scope is good, but so is bending prompts to fit things I already want to read
- Anthologies are usually uneven, but the best stories are worth reading the book for
- In addition to Weird Fiction and Science Fiction, my genre jams include Gothic Fiction, Reimagined Folktales, Feminist Comic Books, and the admittedly narrow Post-Apocalypse Reconstruction Murder Mystery
- If in doubt, re-read Jane Austen
