LadyBookworth reads from her own library

Hi all!

My goal this year is a tiny 12. But of those, there are several large books that I have been meaning to read.
I also realized that this year I have bought so many and only read about a quarter. That I must stop buying books.I desperately need another book case!The tables and chairs are starting to groan under the weight! So 2016 is going to be a new book free zone. Unless of course it's gifted..lol

My ticker




Happy reading everyone. And may you all reach your goals!

ps this is also in the "ticker "thread

Welcome back and good luck with your challenge! Great idea to tackle some of the larger books -- those are so easy to buy and so difficult to get around to sometimes!

rabbitprincess- I couldn't agree more!But this year I will read them! Fingers crossed. lol

Good to see you, LadyB!

No books at all? !! WOW.

Happy rooting!

Happy Rooting!

Hope the worm digs up a lot of good books!

Good luck with your ROOT reading!

Happy New Year and good luck with your challenge!

Thank you rabbitprincess ,connie53 ,tess_schoolmarm, MissWatson, lkernagh,cyderry and avanders for you warm welcomes.!

Wishing you all a great 2016 -may it be filled with books and time for reading.

I've just finished my first book Legacy of magick by Ellen Dugan. I got it at xmas and now going to start book 2 in the series . I have read her Cottage Witchery,Natural Witchery and Practical Protection Magick and really enjoyed them.

I have been rather busy this week buying {yet another} bookcase and organizing it . Which means all the unread books on tables/chairs now have a home! YAH!!
I have so many to read!- I didn't quite realize how many I had.. with them "stacked".. And there is still more unread ones upstairs in the bookcases... sshh, don't tell..

Note to self 1. don't buy more ...oohh new and shiny...lol
and 2. r-e-a-d what you got! lol

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

ps haven't updated ticker-can't remember the pin! Have tried 31 possibles!What was I thinking when I did it???

my mantra for today-relax it will come to you!...

Can't you use 'password forgotten' or just create a new one and replace the old one?

>13 LadyBookworth: ooooh buying & organizing bookcases. A lovely activity! (one of my favorites :))
& congrats on your first ROOT!

lol! can't remember the pin ;)
Maybe just replace the ticker w/ a new one you create?
Oh - I see Connie already had that idea in >14 connie53: :)

Hi Connie and avanders! The ticker site doesn't have a "password' forgotten feature. Drat! If I can't remember by the end of the month I'll just do a new one. Mind, I'm stu**ed as to what I made it.lol {what,was ,I ,thinking..}lol

As for the bookcase -it's full.. and I'm feeling the pull of amazon...m u s t stay strong...or stay off the internet...:+}

Happy reading to all!

>16 LadyBookworth: lol well it happens ;) Fortunately, if you don't, it's easy enough to make a new one ;)

Finished Secret of the Rose by Ellen Dugan on the 27th. Am currently reading book 3 The Message of the Crow about 1/2 way though.

Replaced the ticker with a new one here and on the "ticker" thread.
Have only updated my own, and "ticker" thread.

Happy reading to all!

Have just finished book 3 The Message of the Crow by Ellen Dugan .

Now to decide what to read next! Most likely a romance -wedding anniversary and valentines this month...23 years..where did the time go??

Personal ticker updated.

Happy reading to all

Congrats on the anniversary, LadyB.

Happy anniversary this month!

yeah, happy anniversary! Crazy how times flies...

Thanks, connie53, rabbitprincess and avanders!

Hi all,
well it's now the end of the month and I have read also,

French Women Don't Sleep Alone: Pleasurable Secrets to Finding Love

Miracle at the Higher Grounds Cafe

The New Vesta Secret: Finding the Flame of Faith, Home & Happiness

and 1/2 though a "romance collection -story 4 out of 8.
Overall not bad, considering I feel like I haven't been home all month. But today the eldest finally went off to university. Day 1 of the next 4 years!The other 2 started 5 weeks ago!

So now I can get some real time in -instead of pockets of time! I hope/think that makes sense.

And thanks Tess for the well wishes!

Have updated only person ticker....not tech enough for the others! :+}

>25 LadyBookworth: It's nice to have your own house back for yourself, isn't it? I know exactly what you feel.

Oh Connie -it's just so relaxing. No noise...love that!

Just finished The New Vesta Home: How a Renewed Tradition Can Keep Your Marriage & Family Together

Hi all!

I see everyone on their threads have been busy reading. I couldn't find my thread -it had disappeared into the ether! My dd found it for me.

So a catch up

first on reading my thread I have said a book twice!! Last one and number 31. No I did not read it twice. lol I must likely wasn't concentrating when transcribing it here. - I keep a hand written book with every thing I read.-Most likely whilst cooking dinner! lol

And now a catch up-

15. Victorian Details- by Caroll Louise Shreeve- how I confused that ,I don't know!!

16. The Dark Witch by Nora Roberts

17. Shadow Spell by Nora Roberts

18. Blood Magick by Nora Roberts

19. A Magical Regency Christmas - stories x 3

That brings my total to 19 roots!

Total books to date 45- That includes roots and newbies :+}not bad,still more to read though.

Can't seem to remember the ticker password...Will get it up and running on Thursday!

Happy reading all!!

We can do this!!

Happy reading all!

Edit to add have now updated ticker!

>45 LadyBookworth: Sure we can all stay away from bookshops. I could stay away any time I wanted ... !!

Hi Jackie_K staying away from book shops is easy as.... It's staying away from the internet book shops that I don't have the will power to fight!! :)

Roots were

Happy reading all..!!
