Erika's first ROOT

Hi everyone, I've just discovered this group and it's perfect for me... I am drowning in books that I keep buying but can't keep up with! :) We all know I'll never get caught up because I'll keep buying them, but maybe this will at least give me a chance!

I am 40 and live in northern Vermont, USA with my mom and my 8 year old son. In addition to reading, I also love gardening, traveling, history, and on TV, Game of Thrones. I love talking to other book lovers, especially from other countries! I've only ever been to Canada (and I love Canada!) but my dream is to go to Europe someday. I am looking forward to meeting all of you!

I'm a month late, but here is my ticker:

I just thought - can I count any I have read in January, before joining the group?

>2 eshaw27: Most definitely count them!

Welcome to the group and hope you have great success at reading those books that caught your eye! I too keep acquiring new books, such is the life of a bibliophile! Don't forget to join the group officially!

Ooops! Thank you for the reminder! :)

Welcome aboard and good luck with your goal! This group is a great motivator :)

Welcome to the ROOTers, Erika! Happy ROOTing!

Welcome to the group! I am looking forward to talking books!

Welcome to the group from me too! We like talking books here - but be warned, although it has been great for getting unread books read, it's also been amazing for book recommendations too, so most of us seem to have ever expanding TBR piles!
