I am not much for sports books but make it Hawaii-set & I get interested. I have read Eddie Would Go (excellent) and the tagged book & the other two are still on my #TBR.

If you build it, they will come...
Field of Dreams was based on a book - who knew?

I read this when I was a kid. I was a big fan of Walter Farley's The Black Stallion series so I read this too. Fiction but based on facts.
Earlier this year, I listened to this guy‘s memoir. I don‘t expect everyone to know who this is, it‘s Petter Northug. One of the biggest stars in cross country ever. He won 15 world championship titles and 2 Olympic gold medals
In 2014, he was drunk driving and crashed his car
Thus, began the training for the comeback. The last seasons hadn‘t been that great. In 2015 he was the first male to win 4 golds

Favorite part(s) of the Quidditch World Cup:
1. The Veela, of course.
2. Leprechauns! 🍀 (Although Veela are arguably more awesome, sorry Irish heritage.)
3. Omnioculars
4. Silly boys diving for Veela.
5. Crazy Quick Quidditch!
6. This wizard! 😆
7. Fred + George just might have second sight.
8. And...more Veela! (I might just be bewitched. BeVeelaed?)

pick#MarchMadness Day 24: This is a #SportsStory like no other featuring women from various parts of the world who are not afraid of adversity, not afraid to win, and definitely not afraid of their own strength and fortitude. Speaking of diversity and inclusion, the book not only shared female weightlifters and body builders, but also athletes who are differently abled. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jtl
This was part of my library's June picks and since reading a #sportsstory is on of the #readharder challenges, I'm giving it a try. I didn't realize it would be a first person account, though, and I'm not sure this will be a book for me. But I'm going to finish anyway!
