#SoaringScores
I wanted to savor my Half-Moon Hollow time but I had some long work commutes & I needed this audiobook to make it bearable. The usual snarky fun with two new characters + the usual gang. Made me laugh. In addition to their strength & agility, vampires in Harper‘s books usually have a special power & can do #superfeats Meadow‘s is her sense of smell & ability to scent out medical conditions for which she customizes tea-blood blends.

Where There's a Will: Discovering Endurance in a Race Across Europe | EMILY. CHAPPELL

I saw the writers of these three books recently at Cheltenham Literature Festival; they‘ve all performed #Superfeats that are the basis for their books. Lara Prior-Palmer became the first woman, and youngest person, to win the Mongol Derby, a 1,000 mile horse race, Mimi Anderson is a world-record breaking ultra distance runner, and Emily Chappell won the 2016 4,000km Transcontinental cycle race.

Cinfhen I chose this one today!! I thought it was fabulous #GreatMindsThinkAlike

Rough Magic: Riding the World's Loneliest Horse Race

TheEllieMo @Cinfhen been super-busy again today so haven‘t had a chance to scroll through Litsy yet! Just had a look at your post now, though. I have to say, seeing these three together was interesting - Emily & Mimi were in their 30s when they started their chosen events, and sacrificed a lot, whereas Lara was so much more cavalier! 5y

Cinfhen Was she likeable??? I think some readers found her flippant 5y

TheEllieMo @Cinfhen she came across as what she is, someone from a very privileged background who‘s never had to worry about anything in her life and is free to do whatever she wants 5y

Cinfhen That‘s a shame 😝 5y

CrowCAH Wow they have much more endurance than I! 5y

#superfeats: Audio wrapping my swap goodies for #NightmareSwap and #AllHallowsReadSwap to take to the post office today finally! Also shout-out to @AmyG for piquing my interest. I'm 3+ hours in and I really like it. Never saw the movie. #soaringscores @Cinfhen @CrowCAH @LibrarianRyan @MaleficentBookDragon

LibrarianRyan Yeah. I never thought the movie was all that. It was good, but not what I would consider a classic. I may have to give the book a try. 5y

Cinfhen I want to read the book too!!! I LOVED

The Stepford Wives

AmyG Ahhh this made my day. The book is great.....but the movie is 🙌🏻. My favorite of all time movie. (edited) 5y

Norse Mythology | Neil Gaiman

Gaiman chronicles the #Superfeats of the Norse gods in this collection. I bought this one based on a friend‘s recommendation, though I‘ve yet to read it. #SoaringScores

Cinfhen, CrowCAH

Cinfhen I‘m thinking of trying this one in audio 5y

Librarybelle @Cinfhen That would be incredible if Gaiman reads it 5y

GlassAsDiamonds @Librarybelle & @Cinfhen - Gaiman does narrate it!! (For some reason his accent always surprises me! I like it, but it‘s always a new surprise! 😂) 5y

CrowCAH The Gods are super powerful! 5y

Cinfhen Good to know @GlassAsDiamonds Gaiman has such a sexy accent 5y

JacqMac @Cinfhen @Librarybelle I did this one on audio. My kids kept listening in, too. It‘s that good! 5y

Cinfhen I just listened to Mythos narrarated by Stephen Fry @JacqMac It was SO GOOD/ HILARIOUS and entertaining 5y

JacqMac @Cinfhen I‘ll have to look for that. I love Stephen Fry. 5y

GlassAsDiamonds @Cinfhen this is true... 😂😂😂 5y

Rough Magic: Riding the World's Loneliest Horse Race | Lara Prior-Palmer

#SoaringScores The Mongol Derby is the world‘s toughest horse race. A feat of endurance across the vast Mongolian plains once traversed by the people of Genghis Khan, competitors ride 25 horses across a distance of 1000km.

In 2013 Lara Prior-Palmer – nineteen, underprepared but seeking the great unknown – decides on a whim to enter the race. What happened next was history in the making. #SuperFeats
I listened on audio 👍🏻🎧

CrowCAH

Cathythoughts Sounds great & that it would be a good one for audio 👍🏻♥️ 5y

Cinfhen Lots of reviewers seemed to be put off by Lara but I found her youth, stupidity, bravado and determination endearing @Cathythoughts She came across as VERY AUTHENTIC if not perhaps a bit naive and spoilt 5y

Freespirit Sounds great...what an amazing story! 5y

CrowCAH I heard about this; quite the extraordinary tale 🐎 5y

Cinfhen She‘s super gutsy that‘s for sure @CrowCAH @Freespirit 5y

BarbaraBB I read Laura Palmer instead of Lara and thought you were writing about Twin Peaks...! 😂 5y

Cinfhen Ha!!! I kept thinking of Twin Peaks too!!!!! @BarbaraBB 5y
