Dust Bowl Girls: The Inspiring Story of the Team That Barnstormed Its Way to Basketball Glory | 
pickA book club read, it was interesting and a great history lesson. I enjoyed the pictures of the women peppered throughout. I prefer historical fiction to actual history, and this could‘ve been a fun read but the style was very factual and somewhat boring. Women‘s basketball, all female sports really, owe these amazing women huge thanks for the role they had in advancing sports for women. Book #20 in 2024
I did it! I officially reached my reading goal for the year 💪📚 ❤
pickNot a sports fan, so many of the technical details were lost on me. But I was inspired by the tenacity of these young women who paved the way for women in althetics. With the depression as a backdrop, this book read like a novel.

pickI really enjoyed this #nonfiction book about the Oklahoma Presbyterian College women‘s basketball team from the early 1930s. Great personal stories and some eye rolling about how people thought of women athletes. My grandma played college basketball in the late 1930s in Indiana so I felt a personal connection to the women in this book. #audiobook #nonfiction
March wrap-up. All women authors for Women's History and a couple of specific nonfiction books in honor of that as well 😊
pickI really liked this. Written in such a way that makes you think the author jumped in a time machine & traveled back in time to take notes because the details are so precise and vivid. Not dry at all. Reminded me a bit of A League of Their Own: Farm girls playing "men's" sports but still needing to prove they're still feminine lest they be judged too harshly by a (mostly) disapproving country. #womenshistorymonth
I don‘t usually read sports books, but this looks like an interesting choice for the Litsy reading challenge! Has anyone read it?
Nothing like a good book, beautiful weather, and time with a beloved community.
To the Lighthouse (narrated by wonderful Juliet Stevenson), Dust Bowl Girls, or The Night Swimmer (narrated by Hilary Huber) ??
