LibrarianRyan
I Have a Superpower | Stephen Curry

Mehso-so

2.5 ⭐This is written by a celebrity author, and it feels that way. If you‘re old enough, you may remember Saturday morning specials or those after school specials where they get a celebrity to come in and teach a very valuable lesson. They were almost always cheesy and overacted. If you put that into a book, it would be this book. First off this book is massively too long for a picture book.

LibrarianRyan It‘s told as if a sports news caster is giving a play-by-play and the speech bubbles are the action. The book is fine. The illustrations are lovely and very well done. But this is a book parents would skip a lot of in the reading. Plus, when you get to the super power it screams “This is a lesson you need to learn”. It‘s not subtle. It‘s right out there and it‘s cheesy. This book is fine but when Stephen Curry stops playing basketball, will it 2d
LibrarianRyan on Library shelves very long? I doubt it.

Entertaining slow burn romance featuring a strong and (very) silent man and the woman who got him to talk (a bit). My only complaint is that the 🌶, when it finally happened, was disappointing. But maybe that‘s just me. Thanks to @TheSpineView for putting this one on my radar.

Reggie 500 pages is a long time to get to the 🌶️. It was never gonna live up to the expectations. But I liked the book. lol 2d
CarolynM @Reggie “Disappointing” was probably the wrong word. “A bit icky” would have been better. (edited) 2d

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

Frankie‘s the head of Ren‘s hockey team‘s social media. So, asking her out is out of the question. That‘s until she considers leaving for another job. Will he be able to tell her out he feels?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This one was so cute. There were some funny parts. I also liked the disability diversity. There could‘ve been a little more spice.

Is icebreaker a good book? I‘m into romance and #booktok books.

I‘ve been watching the U.S. Figure Skating Championships this weekend & remembered Rudy Galindo‘s biography. Rudy was the surprise U.S. Men‘s Champion in 1996. His long program was one of the best in U.S. skating history in my opinion. #FigureSkating

Unexpectedly addictive!
Hadn‘t heard anything about this,just saw it had high reviews on Amazon. The first few chapters I immediately thought this was for a younger audience, Literally couldn‘t put it down 😅&what a cliff hanger , you can‘t not start the next book! Very clever Chloe Walsh.
Cute but complicated high school relationship with some very serious topics of DV,neglect,traumatising bullying and bulldozer hormones with added Irish banter.
