NancyNova joins to get through her TBRs/ROOTS for 2016

Going for 50 books (and since I did start counting at the beginning of the year and posting in another group - I'm already done 3 books.

Welcome aboard and enjoy your challenge! Looks like you're off to a good start :)

Great start, welcome to the group!

Welcome to the ROOTers and happy ROOTing

Welcome!!! Happy ROOTing!

Welcome and happy rooting, Nancy!

Thanks everyone.

And the names of the 4 that are read:
Completely Smitten
Dream Daddy
Forgiving
Whirlwind Baby

Nothing to hard on the brain...those are some other books that I'm reading for other challenges!

Welcome & Happy ROOTing!

Off to a great start.

I'm sharing the ticker on several sites/threads, so need to remember to stop by here and post what counted - for what is now 10 ROOT books.

And books 5 through 10 are:
Women on the Brink an ARC from librarything. If you get a chance, get a copy - it's really good!
A Place Called Home

And from the Bastion Club series, four of my own ROOTs:
The Lady Chosen
A Gentleman's Honor
To Distraction
Beyond Seduction

6 ROOTS so far in March (xposted in March)

Open House not one of her better ones
Timepiece light, but what do you expect?
Beau Crusoe Regency camp
Dakota Born, Dakota Home, Always Dakota a trilogy, similar to the Cedar Cover series - just a different setting!

I remember really liking Beau Crusoe! Hope you enjoyed.

Another catchup entry
A Compromised Lady another regency romance
Marriage by the Book contemporary romance, each was given a "how to date" book by relatives, and they consult it regularly to figure out romance!
The Hostage and The Mistress both by Susan Wiggs in the Chicago fire trilogy series. Historical American romances set during the Chicago fire. (Touchstones not linking - figured it out!)
Beauty Shop Tales light romance set in small town Florida
The Charm School, The Horsemaster's Daughter and Halfway to Heaven Calhoun series historical American fiction set in the later 1880's. The books stand alone, so don't need to read them in order
The Golden Son is an early reviewer's book that followed a boy from India pursuing his residency in the US & is torn about staying in the US, or returning to his hometown in India.

Making great progress!

WOW, A lot of books read, Nancy!

Continuing to move along with over 50% of goal done and it's only April! Of course, that means the ABC TBRs (aka the books that others gave me) is woefully behind for 2016

A Summer Affair is from a Susan Wiggs series that was pleasantly done

>16 nancynova: Yeah for passing the halfway point!

Far along in my ROOT challenge (up to 37/50), but alas very delinquent in the ABC TBR set tracked in another challenge. Only 25/75 in that one. So ROOTS will dip a bit, while I catch that one up!

Looks like your numbers allow you to wait a bit.. congrats on your ROOTs success so far!

Continuing to pick up my own ROOTs at the expense still of the ABC TBRs.

Will eventually catch up the touchstones. About 2 months behind on that

Great with almost meeting target with my own tomes. Lousy with meeting target with books registered by others.

Finishing out April:
Halfway to Heaven
A Summer Affair
The Runaway Jury
To Tame a Proud Lady
Together Again

>21 nancynova: Yes! You almost made it! Good job.

Updating May and June here. Almost made it with my own roots. Now to do a better job on the TBRs registered by OTHERS - woefully behind in that goal.

For May:
I Am Hutterite
An Unlikely Match
Her Christmas Hero
A Painted House
Whiskey Island
The Parting Glass
The Rancher's Twin Troubles
A Baby in His Stocking
The Trouble with Twins
Chicken Soup for the Country Soul

For June:
A Girl, A Guy and a Lullaby
Home Song
Never Look Back
One Last Look
Legendary Lovers
The Man For Her
Her Cattleman Boss

Wow, great progress!

Lots of good reading there!

July is another 3 of mine, which pushes the ladybug to almost done.

Rent-a-Cowboy
Driving Sideways
E-Mail to the Front

Good for this challenge - not so good for the ABC TBRs which is sadly lagging far behind.

>26 nancynova: It's hard to keep a balance between two challenges. Good luck in August.

My goal ROOTS are done, but that doesn't mean that another of my own ROOTS won't sneak into the pile anyway.

Rocket Boys also published as October Sky (anagram of rocket boys and the movie's title) was quite good.

>28 nancynova: Congratulations! :D

Congrats on meeting your goal!

>28 nancynova:, I never realized that was an anagram!

Well done!

>28 nancynova: Congratulations!

I loved Rocket Boys, it is one of the very few books that have actually made me cry.

Congratulations on meeting your goal!!

Congratulations on reaching your reading goal early! :)
