Mehso-so

We lost power earlier this week. The only thing to do was cuddle by the fireplace to read!
I have mixed feelings about this book. First off, must love soccer. (I do!) Second, it‘s too long. A pair of half brothers venture to discover the next big talent in soccer: a young boy named Godwin. The problem is, they don‘t know where he is. Very nice writing but I was disinterested in the office politics section, though it does come together in the end.

Chelsea.Poole @BarbaraBB you asked about this one — I wouldn‘t rush out to get it, especially since it didn‘t make the shortlist. It was tedious for me at several points. The soccer references made up for it some. 2w
BarbaraBB Thanks for the heads up. I was triggered by the soccer references indeed but I won‘t hurry to read it. 2w
sarahbarnes Great pic! Hope you got power back, though. 2w

TheKidUpstairs I was really looking forward to this one! I've almost bought it a few times, but decided to wait until it was a paperback. I definitely still want to try it, but maybe I'll switch that to a library borrow :) 2w
Chelsea.Poole @TheKidUpstairs it may work better for you! I don‘t have much to say against it, but I know it won‘t make my top favorites of the year. I‘m reading one now I recognized from you and enjoying 2w

Mostly #tob25 long list titles, with a few nonfiction thrown in.

I‘m halfway through Code Dependent and just started Godwin. Both good so far!
