Very good book. It was hard to put it down. Shocking!

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

Cute story but the ditsy FMC voice made the character feel extremely immature and naive.

Cute story, but nothing special. While I liked the characters, I thought the plot was predictable. 3.5🌟 #LetterK on my author #LitsyAtoZ2025 challenge. @texreader

CoverToCoverGirl I‘m not a fan of hers as you say nothing special just okay. 1mo

This book looks at the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during WWII from the focus of a group of boys/young men who played football in one of the camps. It does a great job of showing the situation Japanese-American citizens were in but the football parts are a bit dull (and I like the game), so I‘m glad there was actually less of that than I was expecting.
