Hoopla | Harry Stein

I‘m having this weird problem with Hoopla where it won‘t let me advance through the book with the scrubber bar at the bottom. I‘m already about 25% in with the audiobook and I just DLed the ebook version. But it won‘t let me catch up; every time I slide the circle to the right it just pops back to the beginning.

Anyone else having this issue?

TieDyeDude Weird. I don't do many ebooks on Hoopla. Can you open it on a different device and try advancing there? It should sync when you open the device you're trying to use 🤞 1w

AlaMich @TieDyeDude Yeah, it is weird. It does the same thing on my iPhone and my iPad. Maybe I‘ll just try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Really good read! Brought me back to my childhood with some of the names brought up in the book along with Chipper himself. Highly recommend for Braves fans as well as baseball fans alike.

Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America | Will Bardenwerper

My reading intentions for #jumpstartsummer were a bit ambitious! I got a lot of laundry done and did a little organizing, but I only finished the tagged book today. I‘ve started the other three but don‘t seem to be in the right frame of mind for any of them right now.

As with @Bookwormjillk this book didn‘t hit quite right. I liked it but not as much as I thought I would considering the topic, and it was longer than it needed to be. ⬇️

Susanita It would be interesting to read this book in “real time” along with the rhythm of the short season, but reading it over the span of a few days I thought he repeated himself a bit. And yes, I know MLB has a lot of issues around corporate ownership and capitalism, but I think he laid it on a little thick. I did, however, appreciate the reference to Charlie Slowes of the Nationals radio team. 2w

Bookwormjillk Always a disappointment when a book isn‘t what I think it should be ⚾️⚾️⚾️ 2w

TheSpineView I'm a mood reader. So I get the "right frame" mind thing. Thanks for joining in. 2w

I‘m not reading this now for #hyggehourreadathon but I was reading it earlier. Better than reading the book, I‘m talking about it with a friend of my husband‘s we joined for dinner. I‘m sitting in the ghost seat in front of a column!

Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America | Will Bardenwerper

These are the books I have out from the library and want to read for the #jumpstartsummer readathon. I also have one or two on my shelf that I might read in addition to or instead. 😎

Tonight I‘ll be at a ballgame and brought the tagged book to read beforehand if I don‘t see any of my friends. Otherwise it‘s laundrypalooza and maybe a little swimming (since I picked up the pool passes today) and of course reading.

TheSpineView They all look good. Enjoy 2w

Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America | Will Bardenwerper

so-so

This book had everything I love to read about: baseball, the shrinking middle class, and toxic politics. However it just didn‘t hit for me. Pretty cover though.

The Bullpen Gospels: Major League Dreams of a Minor League Veteran | Dirk Hayhurst

pick

If you love baseball give this book a read. It really shows you the ins and outs of minor league baseball, and shows you what they have to go through. The stories told are hilarious and makes you want to hear more.
