Eesti23's ROOTS

I really like this idea because I have way too many books in my house! I am going for 25 books since I know I will also borrow or buy some others throughout the year.

Welcome aboard and good luck!

Happy Reading.

Hi Heather. Good luck with your challenge.

Good luck and happy reading!

Welcome and happy reading!

Thank you!

Thank you! And to you too!

Thanks rainpebble!

Thank you!

Thank you! I can't believe how friendly everyone is! :)

Wow! I returned to this thread to add my first completed book and was surprised to find some welcome and good luck messages. What a friendly group! Thank you everyone.

I finished my first book from the shelf - The Learning Curve

It was a sweet little book with a very unrealistic ending. So one down, 24 more to go. It was very sad to read in the dedication that the author was dying and that the book would be published posthumously, especially as this wasn't the first book I have read by her.

That's really sad to hear, Eesti!

And congrats on your first ROOT!

Indeed Connie53 - very sad.

ROOT Number 2...took a little longer than planned because I was busy with a few other things but better late than never.

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother I really liked this book so I am glad that I found it and read it. :)

Eesti, I've heard that the Tiger Mother is fairly controversial, so I'm glad that you enjoyed the read!

Your message here saddened me. Authors who have struck a chord with us kind of become a teeny bit of our family make-up and it is always sad to lose one.
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother sounds very interesting and I found the reviews on the book page to be of interest.
Congrats on your January & best of luck in February!

I've read a few books in-between this and the last but I need to dig out the names. This one is sitting here on my desk so I am going to add it now. Finished California Dreamers this morning. It was nothing special but a cute little read with a slightly different ending to the one I was expecting.

Thanks Caramellunacy! I had heard about that too so had avoided it but finally decided to pick it up and have a go. Glad I did. :)

rainpebble - yes, quite sad - Do have a look at Tiger Mother. I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.

I have finished a few others but I need to re-find them. But I did just finish these: The Calligrapher's Daughter and The Prosperous Thief.

And also Far to Go.

And another one removed from the shelves: The Chapel at the Edge of the World.

Great job!

Thanks Connie53 :)

One more for the list Too Perfect. Loved it!!

Finished Living la Vida Loca this evening.

And another one off the shelf... Hitler's Angel - interesting, intriguing, and worth reading.

One more, just in time to still count for August. Sophomore Switch. Cute book.

Gogogogogogo!!!

Haha! Thanks connie53. I do feel a bit like I am back in the reading mood, which is a great feeling!

Another one finished Southern Lights.

Is the reading mood still there?

Haha, connie53 - almost all gone. It is such a busy time of year. I did finish Changes though.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Heather!

A know about the busy times! They have arrived here too!
