Cheli's digging out ROOTs in 2016

So I'm here to ROOT (READ OUR OWN TOMES) what I already own!

So after much reflection. I've decided to set my goal again in 2016 to 84 - 25 audios, 45 e-books, and 14 ARDs.
Goal:
E-Books/Net Galley 45 Books off my e-readers or NetGalleys downloaded to my Tablet, or Books on my PC Kindle App.
Audio books 25 - Books downloaded to my PC/MP3
ARDs 14 - Books that are already sitting on my shelves or ARCs/ERs awarded to me in 2016.



For every ROOT successfully cleared in 2016 I put $1 in my book bank so that at the end of the year I have money for new books! I already have my wishlist created so before the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, I will place my order with Barnes & Noble for my e-book acquisitions and will have additional books to count. The book bank total may be added to if I receive any gift cards for Christmas.

Starting Tallies:

Tsundoku (My Unread) = 227
PC Downloads = 120
NOOK = 222
Tablet/Kindle = 56
STARTING ROOT TOTAL = 625

ETA - books I had before 2016 but failed to catalog.

Thanks so much for all you do for the group, Cheli. And good luck with the ROOTing! I hope we actually make it in 2015!

Thanks, Cheli! Your encouragement and efforts here has helped me, and others, to make a dent in our TBR mountains.

Hi Chèli, thanks for setting us up for a new year of ROOTing!

Hi Chèli! So glad you took the time to set up this group again!

Happy ROOTing!

Thanks so much, Chèli. It's so great what you are doing for us.

Hurray! I love your book bank idea. Have fun filling that up with the proceeds from your ROOT reading!

I love the way you call your real books ARDs, Chèli.

One of my friends called it that when I was sitting reading a real book and I got a good chuckle from it. When you think about it in this day and age, they are antique devices for reading.

I'm all for antique reading devices. In fact I only read 2 MRD's (Modern Reading Device) this year ;-))

>10 cyderry: :) I love the ARD idea. I was pleased to discover that my teenaged niece actually prefers ARD over ebooks.

I see you set up a ticker for new books acquired -- that is an idea I will copy! Maybe seeing the numbers will help restrain my one-click buying at Amazon's Kindle store...

>15 leslie.98: I made such a ticker too, Leslie.

I love the book bank idea - I might do that too!

Happy rooting!

Happy 2016 ROOTing! And thank you Chèli for all you do for us!!

Also, I see you have Cuckoo's Calling in your audio list.... looking forward to your thoughts on that one!

I'm a Robert Galbraith fan too, hope you like them. Good luck in '16!

Book bank sounds like a great way to motivate more ROOT reading.... even if the money may go towards the purchase of new ROOTs. Good luck with your ROOT reading, Cheli!

Happy New Year, Chèli. Wishing you a great 2016 for reading and ROOTing.

Happy New Year, Chèli, may it be filled with wonderful books!

LOVE your setup this year, Cheli! I should do an ebook ROOT too, it's starting to stack up like my physical books are! Good luck this year!

OMG!

First the intro image -- did you notice the tiny dot at the bottom of that book well? Yes, that's me.

Second, you are the busiest person I've ever known about. When do you find time to breathe? You're also very organized. I gave up long ago. Only reviewing Tomes (MOTs and otherwise) can I keep track of what I've read. That's the extent of my organizing abilities.

Third, those can't be real grandbabies in your personal profile. Those girls are so beautiful, they must be the very best and most expensive life-like dolls ever handmade.

P.S. Is "ARDs" in the public domain, or do you hold the copyright? I'd love to use the acronym, too.

>29 Limelite: When I was working my job evaluations always said "highly organized". I don't know how I would survive without my lists.

Yes, I have 5 absolutely beautiful granddaughters and 2 very handsome grandsons, but I am extremely prejudiced. My oldest, Jackson, will be 7 this month and the youngest is 2½. They all live in other states so I don't get to see them as much as I would like, but I try to go for very special occasions - dance recitals, sports events, etc. And of course, Nonna is always send little things, books especially.

As for ARDs - you are more than welcome to use the acronym - Antique reading devices =ARD

Welcome to the group and happy reading!

Wish I could say February is doing as well but RL is getting in the way!

LOL RL happens! I haven't completed 1 root yet in February.

Yeah it does.. I just finished my first in Feb., but I read a bunch in Jan... such is (real) life ;)

FEBRUARY ROOTS

12. Our Souls at Night
13. Six Strokes Under
14. Body Under the Bridge
15. Black Circle
16. A Bone to pick
17. Wedding Cake Murder
18. Guaranteed to Bleed

All my books read in February were ROOTs!

Nice list & congrats on ALL your February books being ROOTs! That's very impressive!!

10 books in February, Chèli! Respect.

Great job!

Ooh yes, that's a very impressive reduction to the TBR pile!

February crime theme?
The titles sound like it.

>44 Henrik_Madsen: I love cozy mysteries and my main effort besides reading my ROOTs is to try to catch up on all the series that I started so yes, I guess there is a crime theme. I actually have a Greek mythology theme for my Category Challenge:

Zeus - god of lightning, thunder, and the heavens - Anything goes!
Athena - Goddess of wisdom - Book based mysteries
POSEIDON - God of the sea and earthquakes COZIES SET BY THE SEA
Aphrodite - Goddess of love and beauty - Favorite authors series
Hermes - God of commerce and travel - Foreign series
Hestia - Goddess of the home and hearth - Crafts/Needlework
Apollo - God of music, poetry, art, sun, light and knowledge - Classics
Eros - God of love, procreation & sexual desire - Romance series
Astraea - The Star Maiden - a goddess of justice - Legal/police mysteries
Clio - Muse of History - HISTORIES 1920'S, DEPRESSION
Dionysus - God of wine and pleasure - Wine and cheese mysteries
Demeter - Goddess of the Harvest - Culinary Mysteries
Hephaestus - God of blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans - Home Improvements/Repair and B&Bs
Hebe - Goddess of youth - Young Adult series
Eos - Goddess of the Dawn - Firsts in new series
Antheia - Goddess of gardens, flower - LILIES Ladies book group, ROOTS, garden mysteries

I've started so many series (150+) so I need something to not only keep me reading the books I already own, but to keep me reading the series I already started. Tickers have been a big help over the years but themes tend to keep me focused.

How about you? Do you tend to have a theme for your reading?

I merely went by the titles wich seemed rather crime-like.

I have never been very good at themes or series for that matter. Crime series especially seem to become repetitive after 5-10 issues. The good ideas are used and the pressure to put out a new novel for every christmas season isn't helping either - so I haven't finished many series.

But I do have one theme. I like to read classics and to help that on the way I every year read a book published 200, 150, 100, 75, 50 and 25 years ago.

Sometimes that's also an opportunity to do some ROOTing - or some planting... ;-)

>46 Henrik_Madsen: That's a neat idea to read books in their "anniversary" years!

>45 cyderry: I like your Greek mythology theme! That's really cool :).

Have to show off my beautiful granddaughter Bella from picture day for her dance class.

How adorable!

>49 cyderry: Beautiful!

She looks like she loves dancing!

Love pictures from dance classes. I cherish those I have from my daughters when they were young. There is just something about seeing them in their dance costumes...

I have read all the Robert Gailbraith except the latest and enjoyed them all. Actually listened to them on audiobook. Can't wait for the latest to get to the library. It may be there now but I'm trying to ROOT!

>49 cyderry: aww so cute! I love her dress!

Better late than never....

I love people that make such nice stats! Good job, Chèli.

Well, I have good news and bad news ---
Good News - I finally finished moving all my books to my little library and tagged them for their location so that I know exactly what shelf each book is on, however, during this process I discovered 18 books that had not been previously cataloged so now I have 18 more ROOTs than I thought.

I'm not sure to be happy or not. I'm going with HAPPY!!!

Below you can see my little sanctuary - the shelves are mostly two books deep but some places three books deep and then I have a beautiful old desk for my laptop next to my own TV that I don't have to share with hubby, and then my comfy old recliner with my needlework lamp.





I foresee many happy hours in my beautiful library considering that there are over 600 books waiting to be read!

>70 cyderry: You should definitely be happy - especially if some of the 18 books are forgotten gems. And the chair / reading corner looks so comfortable!

>70 cyderry: nice! :)

>70 cyderry: This looks cozy!

>70 cyderry: very nice! Have many fabulous times in your library!

Nice and cozy!

That looks like a great reading and crafting nook!

That looks like a wonderful reading place.

Lovely

>81 avanders: Sorry I didn't answer sooner - things have been crazy!

Drape Expectations is part of the Caprice DeLuca Mystery series by Karen Rose Smith.
Caprice is an interior designer who specializes in staging for sale. I really enjoy the series, the characters and the decorating tips and recipes.
The first book in the series is called Staged to Death

>85 cyderry: no worries & completely understandable!
Sounds like a fun series! :)

>84 cyderry: & congrats (again) on purging so many books!!

>84 cyderry: good job!

I am slightly boggled (although not entirely surprised) that there actually exists a book called Princess and the Penis.

>87 Jackie_K: lol! I completely missed that.

>87 Jackie_K: I have to be honest that when I downloaded the book originally, I thought the title was the Princess and the Pens - Maybe the true title turned me off a bit and that's why I never got around to reading it.

LOL to the Princess and the Penis!

>84 cyderry: A courageous decision!

>89 cyderry: Hee hee - it didn't strike me as the kind of title you'd usually go for!!

A Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice and a Kewl Yule to you and yours, Chéli

Stopping by to say Happy Holidays!
