Lol, me too. Replied to both just as you did :)
I like all the colors in the greenish-blue/bluish-green span best - like teal, peacock, turquoise, etc. I suppose it's easiest to say "green." :D

Purple is my absolute favorite. But really all colors that are bright and cheery!
Wow, so many of you have responded either here or by messaging me about your favorite colors. I'm so glad to see you all read the message!
I am a blue girl! Thank you for all the hard work and time you and others put into this group. It is fun for me as a reader to follow along with other like-minded bookworms!! Looking forward to 2019😀
Green, dark, beautiful, nature green :)
Blue—almost every shade. Thanks for all the work you put into the group!
******Special Message for Buddy Readers******
Even if you have already signed up for Buddy Reads for 2019, you will have to resign up HERE. The master list has unfortunately been lost. Technology...can't live with it, can't live without it!
I know for the rest it's the end of 2018, but for us in the 2018-2019 Reading Group, December is pre-2019 because we so much to get ready for our next great year of reading!!
So before I give you our regularly scheduled monthly message, I'm going to start with all the new and wonderful things we have going for 2019:
-----1. Secret Santa is already in full swing. You only have a few days left to sign up here. Kara will stop taking requests on December 5, 2018.
-----2. 2019 Prep is well underway! We have planned new yearly challenges for you to join. You can also set up your Personal Challenge and your Member Corner. For any other information about 2019, please see our Announcements Folder!
-----3. We have 2 New Features for 2019!
------The first is we will be posting monthly and quarterly challenges a month early so that you will have more time to plan out your reading for each. They will be locked for comments until about a week before the challenge begins, but it will be nice to get a good look at them.
------The second is our Blogs/Vlogs, Events & Challenges folders. Please be sure to read all the rules before posting in the folder.
***Now on to our regularly schedule message!***
Group Reads: The theme for this December is Joy! and our group read for this month is a story that shares that feeling, Charles Dickens's timeless classic, often replicated, A Christmas Carol. I love this story! and I don't even celebrate Christmas, so I'm hoping all of you join me as I lead the discussion.
2019 Group Reads: Oh Wow! We are moving into January, so we will be starting with a new set of themes and group reads!!! How exciting. You can vote on January's Group Read: the theme is "The Year Ahead," and nominate a book for February; the theme is "Blue."
Challenges: It's Where Our Group Got Its Name!
