Welcome to Litsy!

#LeastFaveGenre would have to be sports. I looked through a list of GOAT sports books and saw this, which is about sports I‘ll actually watch… and besides the fact that the title is making me rethink if I should actually be watching these sports… I still have zero interest in reading this book. #BookBinge @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

A stellar book.
Here's a story...
When I was little, these steel-gazed ladies would visit preschools, hunting for tht perfect girls: 3 to 5 years old, tiny, strong, quick. Hunting for champion material. The cjosen ones would get slips of paper with their gym's address. I wasn't good enoufh, due to mh health issues, but soon, I had a classmate - we shared the same name, we both were lefthandsd, she was my secret schoolgirl crush. (cont. below) 👇

This book is a fascinating look at the change in (primarily) gymnastics toward a girl‘s sport rather than women‘s in the 70s and 80s as well as the extensive abuse wrought upon the athletes. This was written in 1995 and has an updated introduction, but I‘d love to see a whole book update. But I was riveted nevertheless. Shame on Bela Karolyi! 😡

Oops, I bought books! My bookoutlet order finally arrived today. I found myself paging through the tagged book, so that may end up being the first of these I tackle. And I‘ll definitely be reading The Night Olivia Fell in October for my buddy read.

Laugh all you want to but this is my life right now! 😂😂😂😂 As soon as this is done I am back in my book but I wait 4 years to see this and I cant not watch!
