I dread sports books. I read them so I have new books to recommend to young patrons but I dread them. This book is all basketball, all the time. It is also all heart. Great friendships, a family who is actively surviving the eldest son‘s death, and a community that just needs one win. This was fantastic. I gave a basketball novel five stars!!!😳

Daisey That‘s high praise! Maybe I need to move this one up the TBR. 2mo
Nebklvr @Daisey I would love to hear what you think! 2mo

I figured from the cover and the title that this would be about a kid with too much to do. In part that was correct. But the book ended up being more about handling stress than about deciding you can't do everything and choosing what works best for you. I also do not like how the book started to rhyme, then broke the cadence. It always happened in odd spots and it was annoying.

#AyUpAugust A few titles I read this year that have an #animal in the title 🐒🦐🦈 🐯🦔🐲I think my favorites were the tagged book, Monkey God & Moon Tiger. My least favorite was probably the most popular book, Crawdads🤷🏼‍♀️Special shoutout to @BookaholicNatty & @Simona for each gifting me one of these books ♥️

Cathythoughts Nice cover on Moon Tiger ! I need to read that one 5y
Cinfhen That‘s the edition I read @Cathythoughts and it was gifted to me by the lovely @Simona ❤️definitely read it, beautiful writing 🙌🏻 I think it‘s right in your wheelhouse 😊 5y
squirrelbrain Loved Hedgehog! Sounds like I may need to read Moon Tiger as well! 5y

Cinfhen Seems we‘re out of sync recently @BarbaraBB How‘s your jet lag??? 5y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen it was the worst (I could read Poisonwood Bible all night) but now I‘m back on track. And in sync with you again, I am looooving 5y
Cinfhen Woohoo on LOVING “Rivers” BooHoo on jet lag😩 Did u end up enjoying Poisonwood Bible???? @BarbaraBB Are u back at work??? That must be hard too!!! 5y
BarbaraBB Yes I did enjoy Poisonwood too! And I am back at work. That‘s hard indeed, especially since it is raining all day too. It‘s weird to think that only a week ago I was sunbathing on Hampton Beach... 5y
gradcat @Cinfhen I‘m very punny, you know. By the way, just wanted to add that the tagged book is one of my all-time favorites—I see I‘m in good company, @BarbaraBB ! 5y

Talk about getting lost in a book ~ I managed to do NOTHING today other than read this heartbreaking /uplifting story courtesy of #Hoopla. Neighborhood friends who grow up to be inseparable are suddenly untethered when one friend leaves the group with no warning or reason given. Her departure scatters the group until her suicide brings them back together. 😭😭😭OMG, I LOVED this book. Highly recommend

tammysue Moving it up! 6y
TrishB Sounds good 👍🏻 stacked for future consideration!! 6y

If you‘ve never come within days of being kicked out of grad school because you haven‘t defended your dissertation (or some similar activity), then you probably don‘t understand pressure or procrastination. I don‘t recommend doing this. #pressure #Quotsy #QuotsyMarch18 #LitsyQuoteChallenge

"Think of books as pills. I have pills that cure ignorance and pills that cure boredom. I have pills to elevate moods and pills to open people's eyes to the awful truth: uppers and downers as they were. I sell pills to help people find themselves and pills to help them lose themselves when they require escape from the pressures and anxieties of life in a complex society..." #pressure #QuotsyMarch18
