I'm back for 2023 for my 9th year in the ROOTs challenge. I love being able to see books fly off my bookshelves, print or Kindle, though, of course, I do tend to pick up more.
Once again, for 2023, I plan to take a broader view of ROOTs, including both print and Kindle books that I own along with Net Galley books on Kindle.
My goal is again 84 ROOTs for 2023.
Happy ROOTing in 2023.

After the first quarter, I'm ahead of my needed ROOT pace. It's been a good reading year so far.

>10 cyderry: I hope you find lots there, Cheli.

>12 connie53: Thanks. It's been a good reading year so far. I was away on vacation last week and thought I'd get a lot of reading in, though, but I didn't read at all.

I've progressed well with my ROOTs during the first 5 months of 2023. Alas, almost every library book I've reserved is about to come in, naturally, as usual, almost all at once.
