I need to read a sports book for a challenge (the same one mentioned above) and the book I chose I dnf'd (it was recommended by someone online when I mentioned I am not a sports person but I hate all the characters and don't want to read another 300 pages about them) So if you have any recommendations... as long as it's not The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach, I will try reading it If it can be nonfiction, you can read QB: My Life Behind the Spiral by Steve Young of the 49ers. It is amazing how he ever accomplished what he did on the football field. He hid his anxiety from everyone. Great book!

In the last couple of weeks I've read, No Two Persons by Erica Bauermeister. 4 stars. I love to see what impact a book has on different people and how they react so this was enjoyable to see in book form.
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. 4 stars. Totally not my typical genre but a friend recommended it and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Now it I can just remember what it was about by the time the next in the series comes out.
The Storyteller by Dave Grohl. 4 stars. Loved this one on audio. I'm not even a huge fan of his music but I enjoy autobiographies and learning about behind the scenes on some of the music.

Just a heads-up, as of today, 7/25/23, All Her Fault by Andrea Mara is still on sale on Kindle for $.99. I read, enjoyed and gave it 4 Stars. Well worth 99 cents. My review is up above. I also bought it when pjaye mentioned the other book by Mara. I can't wait to read it!
I read The Whispers and liked it but got confused with the people and time frame.
I am so bad at remembering the title of my kindle books. I really need to get better so I can keep track of what I read.

I just finished Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry and I'm working on One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. Two family members died of their addictions in 2020, so the Matthew Perry book was interesting in that way. Friends was mentioned quite a bit but it was not the focus of the book. I did not know much about Matthew Perry's life, and now I do. One Last Stop I am reading because I need to read a book with a train in it for a challenge, and a lot of it takes place on the subway. It is about a girl from the 70s who is stuck on the subway, and befriended by the main character who falls in love with her. I need to read a sports book for a challenge (the same one mentioned above) and the book I chose I dnf'd (it was recommended by someone online when I mentioned I am not a sports person but I hate all the characters and don't want to read another 300 pages about them) So if you have any recommendations... as long as it's not The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach, I will try reading it How about Beartown by Frederik Backman? Or a bit of a stretch-Evvie Drake Starts Over. Heβs a former baseball player. Carrie Soto is Back (tennis) I have already read the first two, but can't go wrong with TJR so I'll add it to my library hold list
