I just finished What the Eyes Can't See about the doctor who fought for acknowledgment, resolution, and remediation in the Flint water crisis. Someone here recommended it and it was excellent.

Starting CoDependent No More by Melpdy Beattie. I'll be ready for some light reading after this!

QOTW: Speedskating. Inline, ice, long or short track. Any one. Or gymnastics.

Still reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue but I'm almost done! I'm really enjoying it!

I'm torn between soccer, because I played briefly and liked it although I wasn't good, and something like figure skating or gymnastics. I'd love to have the confidence and strength they have!

I started a lot of books this week!
Skin Tight
A Black Woman’s History of America
Design Your Work Life
Something In THe Water
We’ll see what finishes first, a bunch due back at the library soon.

QOTW:
Softball. I loved playing it and still miss it. I think decathlon or shooting would also be amazing

[minzy]

I read Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi. I didn’t get to The Glass Hotel and I’m not sure it’s going to happen.

QOTW: I guess I’ll say running. I was once decently fast, but unfortunately I peaked at age 14, and it’s been downhill ever since. 🤣

[travella]

I finished Station Eleven and started Long Bright River by Liz Moore.

QOTW: Some type of martial arts.

[charlatti]

The Hollow of Fear by Sherry Thomas, third in her Lady Sherlock mystery series. This is definitely the best one so far.

QOTW: gymnastics. I’ve always been fascinated by it but classes were too pricey when I was kid.

[Vespasia]

I am reading The Long Way Home by Louise Penny. Tjis was an incredibly rough week at work and the book was exactly what I needed at the end of a long day.



QOTW: I guess cycling. I have no desire to compete but I would like to be able to do bike tours all over the world.

Finished - The Finish Line by Kate Stewart, still thinking on this one as for a review.

Reading - Confessions on the 7:45 which I already found a mistake that irks me, so I can see that it won’t be a high mark. Also it’s kind of boring. I’m halfway.

QOTW: Swimming. I loved it as a kid, but never pursued being competitive.
