Martencat is reading ROOT's in 2024

Back for another year’s rooting, having taken a break last year. I didn’t read very much last year, but want to get back into the reading habit.

The plan is to read 18 books. I have more non-fiction than fiction so aiming for 12:6 non-fiction to fiction split. I don’t normally count re-reads but am going to make an exception this year as this should help the habit along with a daily reading from Word Perfect:Etymological Entertainment for every day of the year by Susie Dent

If the book is on my bookshelves or Kindle at midnight on 31st December then it counts as a ROOT, even if I only got it for Christmas in December.

A big, bold New Year’s resolution - to read books as I acquire them - and to read the ones I already own. Let’s see how that goes!

Hoping for a year of great reading
