In 2024 I am beginning a master's degree. I won't have a lot of time for pleasure reading, but I'll continue to participate in the ROOT challenge by adding articles and books read for my degree to my definition of a ROOT.
I define a ROOT as "any book I own". Whether I bought it last week or last decade, whether I've read it once or 50 times, if I read it this year, it's a 2024 ROOT.
I've lowered my goal to 40; although I will have a lot of articles and short books to squeeze in the cracks, I'm not sure what the year ahead will bring!
As in previous years I'm running what I call the "2-for-1 TBR". I keep a list of all books I buy and for every book I buy, I have to read two books I already own to "pay it off". Rereads don't count *for* me, but gifts (including books bought with gift cards), duplicate copies of books I own (e.g., buying the audio version of a book I already have in print), books I have borrowed and read but am now buying my own copy of, and freebies don't count *against* me.
In 2023 I started with 143 books to "pay off". I'm starting 2024 with 160. A Humble Bundle of Doctor Who books in October and buying all those course books in December likely contributed to this.

Good luck with the master's! How exciting.
I love the 2-for-1 TBR idea. If I also don't count freebies against me, I might actually be able to pull that off as the majority of new books I bring in are ARCs.

Review: https://www.librarything.com/review/219217405
This is the first in a series featuring the unnamed owner of No Alibis, a crime fiction bookshop in Belfast. He is a walking bundle of neuroses and the humour is quite sardonic. The cover has a similar vibe to Chris Brookmyre; I think Bateman is more acerbic but it's a fair comparison.

>31 rabbitprincess: The bad-apples articles sound interesting. The reach is huge now with social media's influencer culture.
33rabbitprincess

Reading new stuff declined a bit as I wrote my first couple of assignments based on previously read material, but I'm reading a bit more widely now, so hopefully some more activity here soon :)

Quick report on the ROOTS I've read so far this month.
The Satan Bug, by Alistair MacLean (ROOT 28 of 40): 2 stars. Started out OK but the ending became convoluted, especially as the narrator untangled all the threads of the conspiracy (and re-tangled them again a bit for me, to be honest).
Trouble Follows Me, by Ross MacDonald (ROOT 29 of 40): 1 star. I noped out after about 15 pages when the characters launched into an extremely racist conversation.
An article for school was ROOT 30 of 40.
Voice Lessons, by Rob Paulsen (ROOT 31 of 40): 4 stars. I've been reading this off and on for quite some time and it's great. The print book is probably great too, but if you like audio, do the audio.

I've reshelved a lot of my books after moving house, and now I want to do nothing but read all the books I've unearthed. "Oh, I forgot I had that one! And this one! Ooh and this one!" I was so efficient at shelving all my books that I managed to cram about five bookcases' worth of books into three and a half. Going to need to buy another bookcase :)

The only book ROOT I read this month was Gideon's Risk, so I guess that's the favourite by default.
In June, the summer break for my course will arrive, so I might actually get to read some not-articles for ROOTS.

ROOT 49 is an article.
ROOT 50 is, at long last, a book. The Missing, by Tim Gautreaux. This had a strong sense of place, which was what I really liked about it. I felt the story itself went on a little too long, but that could have been my reading mood at the time.

And now ten past your goal, congratulations!
80rabbitprincess
>79 detailmuse: I am thinking I should add articles and magazines to my ROOT total in future years!
ROOTS 51 and 52 are articles.
ROOT 53 is an audiobook that I just finished up while doing some tidying. Dalek Empire 3.2: The Healers is a Big Finish audio drama, part of Series 3 of Dalek Empire. This series features David Tennant in a pre-Doctor role :)

ROOT 54 is The Serpent's Coil, by Farley Mowat. I can't resist a book about true stories on the high seas, and Mowat tells the story here vividly.
82rabbitprincess
ROOT 55 is Murder in Retrospect, by Agatha Christie. A re-read and a good one!

85rabbitprincess
>84 detailmuse: It's probably featuring in those kinds of articles already. Yikes.

ROOT 56 is -- you guessed it -- another article.
And so is ROOT 57.

Congrats on reaching your ROOTs goal early, RP. I like the idea of article reading counting towards ROOTs. Maybe something like that would get me through the other non-book reads piling up around here.
87rabbitprincess
>86 Familyhistorian: I'm probably going to continue that after I graduate, because I've downloaded a lot of articles to read later...whenever later is!

August recap: 7 ROOTS pulled (YTD: 62)
Culture, error, and crew resource management, by Robert L. Helmreich, John A. Wilhelm, James R. Klinect, and Ashleigh C. Merritt (article)
Risk management in a dynamic society: A modelling problem, by J. Rasmussen (article)
Managing major accident risk: Concerns about complacency and complexity in practice, by I. Arstad and T. Aven (article)
The complexity of failure: Implications of complexity theory for safety investigations, by S. Dekker, P. Cilliers, and J-H. Hofmeyr (article)
Applying systems thinking to analyze and learn from events, by N. G. Leveson (article)
The paradoxes of almost totally safe transportation systems, by R. Amalberti (article)

Getting a whiff of shade here :) It reminds me of an article about when assisted-driver cars foul-up and the semi-attentive humans can't react appropriately to correct.

Hiya! Ive not had enough time to root sadly T^T

>89 detailmuse: In this case "almost totally safe" is statistical: a system in which the accident rate is vanishingly small, like 1 in 1 million or even 1 in 10 million incidents result in an accident. In these systems, safety is like an asymptote, going closer and closer to zero without ever reaching it (at least not with the standard accident prevention techniques).
Automation is an interesting point in systems. The push for automation is often driven by the assumption that the system as a whole is inherently safe and that it has to be protected from unreliable humans. But humans are far more inventive than computers, and humans create the computers that are used in these systems, and systems are NOT inherently safe. They're constantly changing and subject to various pressures.
Problems arise when a system has been automated opaquely (so the humans don't know why it's doing what it's doing) and then the automation throws control back to the humans when something goes wrong, and does so at a time of high cognitive load or its throwing back to the human creates a high cognitive load. The tools are hindering rather than helping.
>90 louisisaloafofbreb: Hi back atcha! I haven't had much time for ROOTing either :( Although I did sneak in finishing up a ROOT this evening!

ROOT 71 is The Eleventh Doctor, Vol. 3: Conversion, a comic written by Al Ewing and illustrated by Simon Fraser. I last read an Eleventh Doctor comic a year ago, but I was still able to pick up the threads of the story, so that was a win. I enjoyed the plot of this one as well.

Hi RP, getting to your thread in an attempt to get up to date with them all.
Good for you to count articles as ROOTs too. That's a great idea.

ROOTs 76 and 77 are both articles.
ROOT 78 is a re-read of McNally's Gamble, by Lawrence Sanders. It didn't contribute to the 2-for-1 TBR, but it was still a good deal of fun :)
ROOT 79 is an article.

Two ROOTs for December so far:
The Trojan Horse, by Hammond Innes: another one of these mid-20th-century thrillers I keep picking up and being mildly disappointed by.
The other ROOT is an article.

Sherlock: The Casebook, by Guy Adams. Took me 12 years to get to this (I received it as a Christmas gift in 2012).
105rabbitprincess
Doctor Who: Illegal Alien, by Mike Tucker. A Seventh Doctor story featuring the Cybermen. It was properly horrifying in a way that made me mildly regret reading part of it at lunch.

I hope the studies are going well but when is graduation, RP?
107rabbitprincess
>106 Familyhistorian: Still have another year to go! I'll be writing a thesis for most of next year.

>107 rabbitprincess: That sounds like even more work than this year, RP. Do you know what you'll be writing about?
109rabbitprincess
>108 Familyhistorian: I had an idea for a topic and mapped it all out, then decided to change topics, so I have to make a new idea map. And it may still change a bit over the course of the next year!

The Legends of River Song, by Jenny Colgan. A collection I found quite by chance at a used-book sale I'd never been to before. The first story in the collection was my favourite.
111rabbitprincess
Dalek Empire 3.3: The Survivors, by Nicholas Briggs. Finally an audio ROOT for once. I keep buying them and not listening to them! This was very good.
