pickExcuse me while I make this book my entire personality!
I absolutely loved this ❤️ 📖 ⚽️
A slow burn romance that is absolutely worth the wait.
🏃🏻♀️ to get more books by Mariana Zapata
so-soI read this over the Christmas period. I loved the first books written by this author but felt this one fell flat. An ex-soccer player and a high flying disgraced soccer executive find themselves in an unlikely situation. They end up coaching a girls soccer team in the middle of nowhere. I enjoyed the dual POV but it really was a slow burn read. There were some laughs along the way but the ending was predictable.
Starting this tonight. I‘ve read two Christmas books so thought I‘d change it up!
so-soSome young boys on a soccer team in Thailand were stranded in a cave in 2018 while exploring with their coach. The country and people from across the world came together to save them. Obviously, the rescue was incredible and it‘s a wonderful true story, but the book is written in a way that made it drag even though it was short.

One of my favorite Zapata books. The only one I like better is The Wall of Winnipeg and Me. Great plot and characters. Fabulous prose and that slow burn to die for me. I wish every book I read gave all the feels like this. 5⭐️ all year long!
The Discworld reinvents football (soccer, for Americans) and several seemingly ordinary Below Stairs characters at Unseen University come into their own particular kinds of power. Sweet, humane, a little romantic, and sadly still timely in its depiction of Othering.

pickTHIS is the Pratchett I‘ve been waiting for thus far in the Rincewind books! (It helped that Rincewind basically only shows up here in cameos 😆) The jokey bits are woven into a much more focused plot, with actual character development and a compelling underlying message of common humanity (whether or not the characters are human!). I adored Nutt, and the football was hilarious. Do we get more Nutt in later books? I need more Nutt! #OokBookClub
