BookDoc16: In for 2022

Having been distracted (very well!) last year by a pair of online reading groups, I'm AGAIN going to start the year reading my "thicker" volumes that I haven't tackled before (mainly classics). I'll intersperse them with lighter (meaning, "quicker") reading. Wish me luck!

Hi BookDoc16. Good to see you back again for some ROOTing in 2022.

I hope your reading is good and nice. Thicker books are a real challenge, so good luck with that.

Don't forget to join the group and creating a ticker to copy to the ticker-thread.

Good luck with your goals!

Happy ROOTing!

Welcome back! Good strategy to alternate thick books with lighter ones.

Good luck! Hope you succeed with the thicker books (I can only cope with them occasionally!).

>2 connie53: I'm a memeber of the group, but I've never used the ticker. How does one start that?

Addendum: I realized that many of my ROOT books are parts of several series. Accordingly, I've decided that most of the "lighter" volumes I'll be interspersing will be from my various series: Erle Stanley Gardner, Walter Mosley, Guy Gavriel Kay, Alexander McCall Smith, Susan H. Elgin, Anne Hillerman, to name a few. Onward!
