Leslie's 2021 ROOTs

I am back ROOTing again in 2021 :-)

I am setting my goal slightly higher than I did last year (80 instead of 75). Hopefully I will surpass this goal easily but I liked the lower stress that came with a lower goal.

Welcome back, Leslie! Have a great reading year :)

Happy reading in 2021!

Wishing you good luck with your ROOTing goals.

Hi Leslie. Good to see you back. Happy ROOTing.

Welcome back - good luck with your 2021 goal!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Hope you all have a decent New Year's Eve tonight :)

Hope you have a happy and healthy year of ROOTing, leslie

You too >8 Robertgreaves:!

My latest ROOT doesn't seem to be showing up in Touchstones. P.S. from Paris by Marc Levy is this book:

>13 leslie.98: I couldn't get touchstones to work last night (roughly 12 hours ago) either

>14 Robertgreaves: Bizarre! But I am glad to know that it isn't just me.

I noticed they don't work just an hour or so ago. I hope they are working on that somewhere.
