This book got on my radar bc it was Amazon‘s book of the year. I think the story is award worthy but it wasn‘t as engaging as I‘d hoped. I wanted more about the players and less football play by play. It‘s still worth reading!

This was my #BookSpin for April

ImperfectCJ My spouse's cousin and her husband work at this school, and per them, the publicity seems to be a mixed bag. The interest in the team is awesome, but I get the impression that the cousin and husband would prefer if that translated to more awareness of the other challenges the school faces (which are similar to those faced by many schools---funding, staff/faculty burnout, under-involved parents---but dialed up given the student population). 3d
MallenNC @ImperfectCJ I‘m not surprised to hear that, unfortunately. Publicity can be a mixed bag even in the best of circumstances (I work in PR), and athletics often gets more funding while other needs are ignored. 3d

It‘s been a minute since I‘ve participated in #weekendreads but hoping to get back into it. Generally I‘m not a big non-fiction reader but both my weekend reads are. Still following the Babitz rabbit hole and a local interest title.

TheBookHippie I like this Babitz! 4d
mrp27 @TheBookHippie I recently finished Eve‘s Hollywood and I liked it. So far I‘m enjoying his one too. 4d
TheBookHippie @mrp27 I like both too. I do love all of her writing, some more than others. These two are in the top. 4d

Fascinating, a bit slow in places, but if you are a wine lover or interested in the history of wine, this book may be right for you. Following the wine tasting that changed the world of wine, this looks at the history of California wine and what happened when they beat the best French wines in France in 1976. I savored this one! #Doublespin #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Yup…. another event and another murder. She really could be a serial killer in plain sight in theory…. but a fun event idea, engaging primary mystery and more clues for the secondary mystery thread that runs through each of the books. Still a pick but i would definitely avoid her events…

AmyG Hello, my friend. Hope all is well. 😘 1mo

The third book and third event- I‘m not sure i would risk going to these events though… they are plagued by murders…. I like the story and the mystery and the characters- but i think the murders should occur outside the events she coordinates…
