In this moving memoir, Kym shares her experience of feeling silenced and bereft after her beloved Stradivarius, her soulmate violin, was stolen. A heartbreaking loss that resulted in a rebirth of sorts. She eventually finds herself, learns to listen to her own voice and stops bowing to others. Definitely recommend listening to Gone: The Album while reading.

🦋 I‘m not very far into the tagged book yet, but seems like it has the potential to be ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
🦋 🦋 I‘ve had twelve 5 ⭐️ reads this year so far. All “the best” for different reasons. Fight Night by Miriam Toews was one of them. So funny and feisty.

Decent read. Received this for Christmas as a gift, not necessarily something I'd choose on my own. Writing could have been better, the story & timelines were a little disjointed & all over the place. I don't know much about music so a lot of stuff went over my head. A short book at 200 or so pages, but took 3 days to read, maybe because I wasn't that into it.

This book was lovely. The musical descriptions mixed with the seriousness of the trial was beautifully written.

I'm really looking forward to reading this one. It isn't one that I would typically pick up. I enjoyed the movie but I just assumed that this would be a really dry read. I'm only a few chapters in, however and I am really enjoying it. I'm also reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas for class so it's been slow going but, I'm looking forward to being able to dedicate more time to this one.

Katie and Eric have dedicated their lives to their fifteen-year-old daughter Devon, a gymnastics prodigy and Olympic hopeful. But when a violent death rocks their close-knit gymnastics community just weeks before an all-important competition, everything the Knoxes have worked so hard for feels suddenly at risk. Rumors soon begin to swirl among the other parents, revealing hidden plots and allegiances.

Blaise Pascal (he of the triangle) was French mathematician, physicist, inventor, and theologian. A #ChildProdigy, he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of 16, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory.
