Happy to see you here again - looking forward to your reads!

Happy New Year, DoR. Looking forward to seeing your reading choices for this year

Happy new year and welcome back!

>2 DisassemblyOfReason: I had a book like that last year; it was a mystery that I was convinced I'd read because the cover looked so familiar, but apparently I hadn't.

WELCOME BACK! Great start!

You have been busy already! Great work!

Happy New Year, DoR. Happy ROOTing in 2023 and you've made a great start with 5 books already read.
