2019 LJ Book Bingo Master List

aeris444 mentioned ljbookbingo during her Snowflake Challenge, so I signed up for it this year. I already have my set challenge at Goodreads where I try to read 55 books a year, and these categories fit beautifully into what I read (I found too many challenges where they asked for specific authors I don't like or something else too restrictive). So I'll post about the individual books that end up fulfilling squares here, and then link back to this master post so I can keep track of when I get bingos.
