First ROOT for March A Bicycle Built for Murder by Karen Kigsbury finished on March 1st.

This one is an Ancient Oak

btw - I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I just realized I never joined the ROOTs 2015 group!! I just set up a ticker thread and started participating. This morning when I clicked on "My Groups" I didn't see this one so I had to figure out how to join. It needs to be in a more conspicuous place for folks like me who aren't very adept at navigating Library Thing.

>21 Anansilaw: lol... I hadn't either. And I didn't know that I hadn't until I read your post!

Finished another ROOT earlier this month The Search by Nora Roberts. This one was a Tall Tree.

Great job, Anansilaw!

One more root Mr Impossible by Loretta Chase

Oh yay! How did you like Mr Impossible? I really enjoyed it when I read it - kind of an Indiana Jones-y/The Mummy vibe. Plus Rupert made me happy.
