Here I am, late but arriving once again. I think I'll probably have a lifetime membership to the ROOTS Challenge!
I have a large TBR but looked carefully at the ROOTS from just the last 5 years and was surprised to find that I had fewer Roots from 2025 than from the other years. I think I might be able to work them all in this year so we'll see how it goes. Last year I concentrated on ROOTS the first half of the year and set my goal at a low 35 and read above that number. At this time I need a no pressure goal and I think I enjoy reading them more with that approach.
TICKER:
January
