Hehehe... Anniversary avatar 2019: Selected. 
While I'm not doing something BM-specific, this year, I'm currently rereading one of my personal "signpost" texts within the fantasy genre - "The First King of Shannara". As many of you might recall, this is also the book I recommended over when I was running my PBPs here. Not sure how much Blackmoor is really in it, or how many ideas from it can really be mined for games like the ones we here tend to play, but - to me, it remains one of my take on fantasy's key texts. If you still find this one somewhere, my recommendation remains to buy it.
