The Hopeful | 
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Despite the fact I'm going to a kids party I still put a book in my bag...I can hope!
Time to prepare myself for small talk and pleasantries. #sociallyawkward #anxiety

Looking for the best book subscription box for non-YA novels... suggestions?!
pickIt's #FunFridayPhoto time! Today's photo: SPORTS! Share a book you love -fiction or nonfiction - about something to do with sports. One of my favorites is this novel about a young figure skater and the grueling training she is put through. Under enormous pressure - from her coach, her parents, and herself - she begins to crack. O'Neill's a marvelous writer and though it is a novel, she has nailed the truth of the lives of gifted children athletes.
pickAnother book keeping me up late. But is that really such a bad thing?
For those of us who prefer to stay out of the skating rink (where it's safer to read), Tracy O'Neill's "The Hopeful" is a sharp debut about figure skating and addiction. Brutal, funny, and enviably smart.
