Great book. I fully believe in the growth mindset; we can always improve and get grittier. I liked that it included both definitions & examples plus suggestions for how to increase grit.

This was a great book about a subject of which I had very little knowledge. I knew women were most of the first computers, but I didn't realize their impact on space exploration!
I really enjoyed this and found it totally engrossing. After spending the better part of the novel assuming I knew who died and how, I was pleasantly surprised.

Enjoying this book so far. Absorbing as I wait for my flight.
Deduced that Team of Rivals isn't the best bedtime read (it really hurts when it smacks you in the head)! So, deciding between the other two...I think I'll read the first few pages of each and see which grabs me.

Light bedtime reading.
Listening as I toil away on my PhD research.
Great character intro, namely the aside.
Just finished this audiobook on my run today. Very well written and thoroughly researched. Historical fiction covering of three women pre-, mid-, & post-WWII. Each of the characters was fully developed, though not all likable. The audiobook had a different narrator for each and was a great listen!
Starting this tonight.
Almost done with this history of America's first serial killer + the World's Fair. Interesting overlap of the two stories, but I'm really enjoying all the "oh, that's when/how that was invented" moments.
As per the usual, my mom has picked a great book. We share an Audible account, and her picks are always spot on plus not titles I would have found on my own (I.e.: Maude by Donna Mabry). I really like the use of a different narrator for each of the 3 main characters.
This book had some humorous bits, but mostly I felt it too long and droll. But, it was a decent audiobook that I didn't mind missing bits of as I worked and listened with one ear.
Reading before bed. Doc Holliday gets it. Slowly but surely making my way through A Storm of Swords.
Listening as I work in the research lab today. "There are three stages in scientific discovery. First, people deny that it is true, then they deny that it is important; finally they credit the wrong person."
