I‘ve kicked off Murica-Free March with another from the Canada Reads Longlist. GIRL RUNNER gives off that particular CanLit vibe that has the capacity to leave me deeply unsettled. Hopefully it‘ll be the good kind, not the kind that puts a bad taste in my mouth. At page 75, it‘s too early to say.

And I mean, hey, it might not unsettle me at all in the end. Sometimes early vibes mellow out. I‘ll report back. #MFMarch

Mimi28 Awesome!! So you think the #LitsyPetClub is a good idea? That‘s Casey right? So far I am thinking just Litsy name, pet names, species of pet and how many. I am not sure about breed because lots of pets are mixed breeds. I am being forced to learn spreadsheets anyway so I may as well make it homework, lol 2d

dabbe C🐾S🐾Y! 🖤🖤🖤 2d

xicanti @Mimi28 Im sure there‘ll be lots of interest in a new way to find Littens who share pet pics! Plenty of us post about our furry reading buddies. 1d

Mimi28 Thanks for the encouragement and feedback 🫶🏽😉🩷 I will start on it Sunday or Monday. 1d

Through all the hardships she faces over the course of her life, Aggie finds solace in running.

How are you finding solace through this pandemic?

Race day! 10k in the books! I ran faster than I've ever run in a race but didn't quite make my 10min/mile goal. Finished at 1:06:41 which gave me a 10:20min/mile average. Considering I had a pretty rough November dealing with some health lows, I'm proud of this. I didn't walk and a couple of those miles I even managed to run under 10 min so progress! Now bring me a book & some hot coco! I'm not going to move for the rest of the night. 😆

Howard_L Congratulations! That‘s awesome 5y

Karisa That's fantastic! Way to go! 5y

Finished this at the beginning of our road trip. This is the 2nd book I have to read for Reading Rumble in September and I really enjoyed it. A great story about girl growing up in rural Ontario and going on to the 1928 olympics and facing the challenges of the time.

Being on vacation means sleeping in and then walking to your favourite cafe to read while you enjoy your coffee and muffin. 😊

Loved this book about the fictional Aggie Smart, gold medal winner for Canada in the 800m race in the 1928 Olympics. And that ending! Ugly crying in public right now 😭 #PopSugar18 #bookaboutsport

EricaReads Also, jealous of a fictional character because I‘m pregnant and not allowed to run right now. I totally understand the feeling of needing to run, although I‘ll never be fast like Aggie. 7y
