I'm not a huge basketball fan. I loved it when Toronto first got a team, loved it when that team won the championship, but other than that I could take it or leave it. But now I have a favourite basketball player! Watch this, it's so sweet (and I promise, it's Litsy relevant!):

A bit different from the previous Cait Nary romances. This one is told from the POV of the non-hockey player. It‘s super sweet.

Ghost | Jason Reynolds
post image

Had to go with this great one from Jason Reynolds because we are currently in the peak of track season with my son. Ghost is about a boy who wants to play ball, but when a track coach takes him under his wing and sees his potential for running his life takes a turn for the better. 🏃🏽‍♂️

This seems like it should absolutely be on my list of beloved books, but I just am not enjoying it. Maybe it's the hyper focus on the sexual that's just not meshing well this week with my demisexual self. I am also just not quite following on the whole magical girl dominating softball thing. It's not quite as interesting as I expected, but it is still pretty fun. #LGBTQIA #Sports #Comic

1. Field of Dreams
2. Killing Eve (TV show, but SO much better than the book)
3. The Notebook

@dabbe

Karkar Oh I liked the notebook movie ending wayyyyy better than the book. 1mo
Billypar I loved Killing Eve! I haven't watched/read the others, but I heard the same opinion about The Notebook. No idea Field of Dreams was a book. 1mo
dabbe TV shows count, too! 🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for sharing. 💚🩷💚 1mo
TheBookHippie Agree about The Notebook! 1mo

Open: An Autobiography | Andre Agassi
post image

I still have very little time to post, but here are the next 4 books I've read for the #52bookclub24 challenge.

eeclayton (5) Magical realism -- It's a heartbreaking and also heartwarming story, but it didn't resonate with me as much as it could have if it didn't use all these far-fetched elements like the all-knowing tree and literate mice and storyteller butterflies. 1mo
eeclayton (10) Told in non-chronological order -- To me, the plot was more interesting than the first novel's, but the final chapter with the backstory was so long and boooring #noplacelikeHolmes 1mo
eeclayton (14) A grieving character -- This trilogy will stay with me. I loved the third book, too. 1mo
See All 9 Comments
eeclayton (21) Written by a ghostwriter -- It's what the title promises: an intimate and brutally honest memoir with lots of life lessons, not the clichéd ones, but real thoughts that stem from real struggles. He doesn't shy away from recounting his bad decisions and taking responsibility. Great read. I also appreciate his afterword about the ghostwriter. 1mo
Librarybelle Great choices for the prompts! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 1mo
eeclayton @Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks Thanks ☺️ I also love how I get to read titles I wouldn't have picked up if it wasn't for the challenge! 1mo
Librarybelle Completely agree with that, @eeclayton ! 1mo
BarbaraBB I am glad you have time to read 🤍 (edited) 1mo
