Running Behind
Running Behind | Sylvia Taekema
3 posts
Even though he was once his biggest rival, Jake Jarvis is thrilled when Spencer Solomon agrees to join the Diamonds cross-country team to compete in the Barry's Bay provincial championships. Everyone is pumped, everyone is focused, and Jake has to admit, he really likes their chances. At the last moment, Spencer informs the team that he can't go. Jake is furious. But when Spencer explains that he's worried about leaving his wheelchair-bound father alone, Jake gets to work on finding a solution to get Spencer and the Diamonds back on track.

Suggestions for quick books welcome! Especially if they can be part of my #selfguidedwomenandgenderstudiescourse!

Vansa Findings by Kathleen Jamie,a great meditative collection of essays.Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley,fun and romantic.Amongst Women by John McGahern,sharp,insightful and moving.And I can't recommend The stepdaughter by Caroline Blackwood enough,slight book but packs a punch.My reviews for these are here!

Does anybody else ever feel like you‘re just running behind in life. That has been me this entire month and has led me to be trying to finish four books, two which happened to be my #bookspin and #doublebookspin for April. Furthermore, I still haven‘t even set up my spread for May. Nevertheless, here is my list for May‘s #bookspinbingo. I hope to have it set up in my journal this weekend.

TheAromaofBooks I call those periods “tail chasing days“ - just feels like you're going in circles without a lot of progress!!! Hopefully some balance returns to your life soon!! 4y
