My latest crop of un-renewable library books. Two of them from the #Booker longlist. Breakdown is due back first, then the other three. Fortunately all are fairly short, but they are wildly different in font size and formatting. Are any of them really quick, fast paced reads? 😅 From what I've heard there seems a fair chance that I'll read 30 pages of Held and bail 🤪

TheKidUpstairs I read The Safekeep in about 3 days. It's wonderfully written, tense, and I did not want to stop. Also, part of it is written in a diary entry style that makes for fast paced reading. 4mo
Leniverse @TheKidUpstairs That sounds promising! Breakdown is turning out to be a fast read too. Lots of short paragraphs, almost choppy in places, like it's itemized in a journal. 4mo

Full review is up on my blog: https://www.gillyreads.com/review-as-fast-as-i-can-by-penny-tangey/

As Fast As I Can is a heartfelt Australian middle-grade story about a young girl‘s dreams to become an Olympian and what happens when her family discovers a serious genetic illness. I'd particularly recommend to anyone with sports-mad kids, but there is enough in there for kids who are interesting in other activities - and also for adults ;)

A bit wild reading a book set in 2020 where they‘re all just going out and about and children still in school and doing district sports competitions. #currentlyreading
