For the Love of the Game: My Story | Mark Vancil

I grew up watching Micheal Jordan and maybe Kobe got close in comparison, but I feel Jordan is the the most #quintessential basketball ball player ever!! 🏀

MicheleinPhilly Jordan will always be the best in my eyes. No ifs, ands, or buts. 5y

ElizaMarie Have you seen the documentary? 5y

squirrelbrain We‘re part way through watching the documentary @ElizaMarie - considering we know nothing about basketball (from the UK!) it‘s amazing. You should watch it if you haven‘t already Misty and @MicheleinPhilly (The Last Dance on Netflix) 5y

ElizaMarie @squirrelbrain I saw it. I am not a basketball fan traditionally but I remember this whole thing. Like I was knew a lot of what happened during this time. Micheal Jordon was such a jerk throughout most of his career. He was so vindictive. But I mean he is an amazing player. And the documentary was super interesting. 5y

OriginalCyn620 Agreed! 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MicheleinPhilly mine too!!! 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @ElizaMarie no!! I need to!! 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @squirrelbrain just the name makes me want to cry 😭😭😭 5y

Bonjour Tristesse: And, a Certain Smile. Franoise Sagan | Fran�oise Sagan

#beautifulwords

This is the #quintessential French ‘coming-of-age‘ novel - hence why I‘ve got 3 copies of it... 1 in French and 2 in English.

(I thought I had 4, but could only find these!)

OriginalCyn620 Sounds good...stacked! 5y

LeahBergen And I have a different edition. 😆 5y

squirrelbrain There are loads of different covers - I just looked online @LeahBergen .... perhaps I should start collecting them all! 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620 I have faith in you!! 5y

revenge4porgy I tried reading it about 2 years ago. Unfortunately I felt like I had to “work too hard” to understand the plot. I bailed. One of the few times in my life that I‘ve never read a book all the way through. 5y

EadieB @OriginalCyn620 Are you traveling to the UK? 5y

EadieB @OriginalCyn620 I had to cancel my trip to England/Scotland for this August. Not nice! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB A real Shame. We are hoping to go to Scotland in two weeks. Should open up for tourists on 15. Scotland currently got lowest rates @OriginalCyn620 5y

Andrew65 Think we‘ve come across a fair few English terms in the books we‘ve read. 5y

OriginalCyn620 That‘s a bummer @EadieB! I hope your trip works out @Andrew65! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 And you‘ve learned quite a lot about American English and states with your travel the world challenge. (edited) 5y

EadieB @OriginalCyn620 Quite disappointing! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Very true! 5y

Laughterhp Ah, I want to read this book. I feel like I should know Brit language. 5y
