I finished 3 of my 4 #ReadYourKindle picks for March. One I DNF'd because I just couldn't get into it.

Completely fascinating book about Area 51, which the US has never acknowledged, and the nuclear and airplane research and testing that have occurred there. This gives insight into where UFO conspiracy theories may have originated. I do take it with a grain of salt, though, given that some of the information isn‘t truly verifiable.

tpixie I enjoyed this also. 2w

Here is another audiobook from the haze that was February. It‘s a gritty tale of two brothers who have been surviving on their own since their teens. Everything gets turned upside down early one morning when one of them has an accident. The book walks a fine line by making the reader empathize with everything the main characters have been through while not hiding how absolutely stupid and horrible some of their decisions are.

It was interesting to get into the heads of the young female competitive boxers featured in this novel. I liked how the author conveyed the intensity of the moment while also shifting to times in the girls' pasts and futures.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 A book I never would have picked up if not for the #ToB25 short list! Unique structure of telling the stories if 8 teenage girl boxers as they fight in matches at a tournament in Reno. It was interesting enough while reading, but I finished it a few weeks ago and none of the characters or stories stayed with me. Soft pick.

AmyG I found the uniqueness the best part of this book. 2mo
fredthemoose @AmyG totally agree! That will stick with me in a way the actual stories haven‘t. 2mo

This book was not for me, and I‘m not sure what it was. The boxing? The writing? Where there too many boxers so we spend too little time with the boxers? I‘m don‘t know, but it was something

I enjoyed this book and how it used a youth sports competition in Reno, NV to frame the lives of the 8 contestants. The last chapter was a little weird, maybe? But Reno is a weird place, so whatever I guess. #tob #tob2025 #tob25
