helenoel's 2016 ROOTs - Climbing Mount TBR

#1 A Fearsome Doubt by Charles Todd
My husband has read most of these and we own them, so they are an easy target to grab when I need something predictable but interesting. The interplay between Ian Rutledge and Hamish does not seem to get old.

Welcome back and enjoy your challenge!

Good to see you again, Helen. Happy ROOTing.

Welcome back and happy ROOTing!

ETC

Glad you're back!

welcome back and happy rooting!

Good luck with your ROOT reading!

ROOT # 2 - Soul Music by Terry Pratchett.

Welcome back & Happy ROOTing!

Root # 3 A Thief of Time - 3-8-2016

>10 Helenoel: Is that a book by Terry Pratchett too? Your touchstone links to Tony Hillerman.

>11 connie53:- I read the Hillerman one this time- but Pratchett has one with a similar title- I own both- should re-read the Pratchett-
Hillerman is A Thief of Time, Pratchett just Thief of Time

>12 Helenoel: Thanks for clearing that up, Helen.

ROOT # 4 audiobook of A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.
Entertaining version of lots of basic science and new developments in some.

# 5 - The Winds of Folly an overdue LTER-ARC

You can do it, Helen!

# 6 Unraveled Sleeve by Monica Ferris - totally fluffy mystery- fun, and Ferris at least seems to know what she is talking about with needlework- unlike some cozy mystery series where the author is clearly at sea in the cozy themed part.

# 7 Talking God by Tony Hillerman for the Navajo Mystery Project.

# 8 Matriarch: An Australian Novel of Love and War by Geoffrey Hope Gibson A LTER-ARC

# 9 My Brilliant Friend - i was not as much a fan as some seem to be. Maybe the whole series grows on folks, but I'm not in a rush to find out. I appreciate the good writing and construction, but found reading it a bit of a slog.

>19 Helenoel: That's a bit disappointing, Helen.

#10 Monstrous Regiment. Catching up on my Pratchett read or reread project.

#11 Doc by Mary Doria Russell I've had this in the house for a couple of years- glad I finally got to it.
I've enjoyed everything I've read so far from Russell- in variety of genres.

Just popping in and saying 'Hi' to you!

Thanks connie- and back atcha...

Some progress!

#12 A Holiday Yarn: A Seaside Knitters Mystery picked up some time ago at a library sale- ok cozy mystery, but not much knitting. small book so it went on vacation with me.

#13 All the Light we cannot See Christmas gift 2015, so it counts as last year. It is as good as everyone was saying last year when it was still newish.

>25 Helenoel: I love the sound of that -- A Holiday Yarn... but, also glad to hear it's not amazing bc I don't need to add to my cozy mystery pile ;)

And All the Light We Cannot See -- I do keep hearing such good things. Maybe this winter I'll get to it... :)

>25 Helenoel: >26 avanders: Thinking the same thing about Als je het licht niet kunt zien. I have it on the shelves, but never got around to reading it. Maybe soon!

And after a long break- #14 - The Fallen Man for the Navajo mystery project.. I picked this up at some book sale, but apparently never entered it in my LT library....
I won't make my goal, but have made some progress this year... Don't ask if more books came in than got read...

I do keep track of acquire date but I don't like to look at any stats about that LOL. I have a box from BookOutlet that I just received that I have not cataloged yet.... and errrr... more in the shopping carts of three online bookstores. And oh, I just found out that we have a new independent bookshop in my area, the first in many years that is not a big chain store. I have to go there too, right??

>28 Helenoel: you made progress, and that's what's important!
