This year, I'm going to intersperse the re-reading of past favorites with new, or new-to-me, books. I'll indicate re-reads by an * in my posts here. Plugged through 48 books in '23; let's see how this year works out!

Hi BD, Welcome back to the ROOTers. Good to see you here.

Do you have a goal this year?
If you really want your books to count in the grand total you have to become a member of the group. There a link in the right upper corner were you can sign in to the group.

Happy ROOTing.
