Of course, I'm signing up for 2020, and I'll be signing up for level 4 again. I'll be back here posting books once the new years starts. For now, I've got a couple more to post about in 2019.

Thanks. I love cozies, so this challenge is always fun for me.
Yay, Mark! It's always fun to see what you're reading!
Thanks, Donna. I always enjoy seeing your comments.
Good Luck Mark!! I love following what you are reading. It has lead me to authors I wouldn't have normally read and veered me away from some duds!!

Go You!
Thank you both.My job may be interfering with my reading the rest of the year, so I may have to slow down. Stupid adult responsibilities!
Mark wrote: "Stupid adult responsibilities!"Ain't it the truth!
Oh to be well off enough to be a reader of leisure.
I would be perfectly content to be paid to read as a full time job. Unfortunately, no one seems to want to hire me to do that.

The closest I got was editing a friend's book. (She got sick and passed away before she could publish. :o( ) That's not the same as being paid to read, but it was close.
Nice. Well, about being asked to edit. I'm sorry she didn't get to live to see it published.I've had a couple offers to be paid to edit, but I don't have the time and I'm not sure I'd enjoy the process enough to make it worth it to me.
