Behind on reviews because Dad‘s been hospitalized with pneumonia. 😢

I cheered on Amy‘s historic run on Jeopardy as the second longest champion. I was excited to read more about her life and coming out trans. Well, I like her a lot less after reading this. Like Ken Jennings, she‘s a bit smug. Her coming out story was interesting, but I could‘ve cared less about her tarot obsession or thoughts on drug use. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not for me!

Bookwormjillk Sorry to hear about your Dad! Seems like a rough year for you all. 5mo
JamieArc Interesting. I didn‘t like her in the beginning because of her smugness, but she grew on me. I‘ll skip this one so I can keep liking her 😂. And light to you and your dad ❤️❤️ 5mo

Easily the most revealing memoir I've ever read. I appreciate Amy's willingness to share so much about her life and experiences as a way to grow people's knowledge and mindsets, even if I could never bring myself to reciprocate! It was also funny and conversational, which is my fave memoir style. #memoir

Interesting book combining Ken Jenning‘s account of his winning streak on Jeopardy and a history of the popularity of trivia and people who like it and like competing about it. And I also like some of the same things that he does.

Starting a book I should have read years ago. Picked up at a Library sale. I am a less accomplished trivia lover than Ken. While I am just gradually getting through my other books, this will go MUCH faster

#12Booksof2021 #2ndBookof2021 I had a really hard time picking a favorite book for #February, because there were 3 that I really liked. However, this one was my favorite of the three, as I've always been a Jeopardy fan. My husband even got me this Alex Trebek funko for Christmas. Anxious People and The Midnight Library were both close contenders for favorite books in February.

Andrew65 Some good books in February. 2y

I am literally typing this review with tears in my eyes.What a good man Alex Trebeck was! He had such a wonderful way of looking at life,he genuinely cared about others.Although the stories he told were interesting,it made me realize how down to earth he really was. His love for his family is honorable.Im a better person after reading this book.I only hope that I can live up to 1/2 the person he was. The world lost a great person when we lost him.

KCofKaysville I'm reading it now. Looks good. @Cathyloves2read 3y
