JaneyWaneyB I loved the I, Tonya film. The acting was phenomenal and the film was brilliantly written. Have you seen it? 5y

Andrew65 @JaneyWaneyB No, but I remember the incident when it happened. It was very big news. 5y

JaneyWaneyB Kind of passed me by as it was US news and I was busy being an annoying teenager in the UK ? If you get a chance watch the film I thinkyou'll enjoy it, very clever in that "he said, she said, he said, I never said" kind of way. 5y

Andrew65 @JaneyWaneyB Will try to get ho,d of a copy. I Was 28 at the time. 5y

Judybskt I remember this so well. The movie was amazing! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 What about Nancy Kerrigan leg? She lost part of her skating career too! Big baby, Tonya! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB It‘s so long since this happened I have forgotten who the aggressor was! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Tonya and her boyfriend contracted a guy named Shane to hit Nancy Kerrigan with a club. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB That would sort of have been my recollection! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Tonya was a low life and very rough, tough girl and Nancy was a prima-donna from a rich family. 5y

SleepyDragon She still sees herself as a victim. If she was repentant, I could look past the fact that she put a hit on another skater and tried to end her career and consider what she has to say. But she will never acknowledge that she did anything wrong and tells anyone who will listen that she's a persecuted victim. The scandal was a traumatizing moment in my childhood. 5y

SleepyDragon Kerrigan was from a middle class background. She was able to get sponsors to pay for her costumes, etc. She was a diva though, like many talented skaters are. 5y

Oh, Tonya! I was OBSESSED with this in 94! Was Tonya involved or not? I can tell you she still denies prior knowledge in the ESPN 30for30 documentary, The Price of Gold.

This book was published before the 1994 games, but still is a fantastic chronicle of Tonya‘s early life, marriage, and skating career as well as the unraveling of the plot against Nancy. 4⭐️

Also I, Tonya is a good slightly fictionalized movie. On Hulu now.

MicheleinPhilly I was completely obsessed with this entire episode in ‘94. I don‘t believe Tonya‘s denial for a second. 5y

Megabooks @MicheleinPhilly I don‘t really either, but I‘m kind of impressed with her capacity for self-delusion and denial. 🤪 5y

Zelma I, Tonya was surprisingly great. So creative and kind of campy and entertaining. 5y

Megabooks @Zelma Totally agree! It was a fantastic movie in the best/worst way. 5y

Cinfhen Oh you read it!!! Yay!!!! I‘ll have to see if my library has this one. I know you listened... how was the narrator?? 5y

Cinfhen And I agree @MicheleinPhilly SHE HAD TO BE involved 🙄 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I actually did not listen - for once! 🤣 I picked this up on a Kindle deal a couple of years ago, so you may want to check US Amazon for it. It tells the story from several conspirators perspectives, and Eckhart‘s is hilarious!!! 5y

Cinfhen Ok!!! Good to know 😘😘😘I prefer print but would be willing to try audio. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🧡 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @MicheleinPhilly Same here! And I‘m kind of sad she‘s getting a bit of fame again from the movie. 5y

MicheleinPhilly @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Oh I HATED her “redemption” tour when the movie came out. HATED it. 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @MicheleinPhilly I‘m so glad it wasn‘t just me. Having watched it at the time, when it happened, I just can‘t believe she wasn‘t involved, her husband wasn‘t smart enough to think that up, carry it out, and hide it from her. I just don‘t believe it. 5y

The freezing rain has gotten on the power lines here, and guess what? NO POWER! I can‘t sleep without white noise or TV. What am I to do? 🤷🏻‍♀️ READ!

I started this book. I‘m fascinated by the Tonya/Nancy scandal. I‘ve watched I, Tonya more than once, and I own the 30 for 30 Price of Gold about it. I recommend both!

#NoFemmeber I‘m going to try to incorporate #NonFictionNovember into this challenge and only post books that are NF all month. Nancy Kerrigan was the ultimate #IcePrincess back in the day until Tonya tried to usurp her crown😜I haven‘t watched I, Tonya but I heard it was excellent ⛸🥇Tagged book sounds great, too!! And I‘m super mesmerized by the shady business of the ISU & ladies figure skating #TeamHailey 💕

Megabooks, Billypar

Megabooks I loved I, Tonya! It‘s on Hulu in the US. I have this book on my Kindle, but I haven‘t read it yet. I‘ll have to move it up. Kinda forget which books I own! 😊 (edited) 6y

vivastory I, Tonya sounds great. 6y

Cinfhen Yes, it‘s super easy to bury books on the Kindle @Megabooks and I‘ll check out Hula. I‘m pretty sure my hubby watched it that way and he said I, Tonya was really good @vivastory and he doesn‘t dish out the compliments 😉 6y

TrishB I would never have enough NF! 6y

LeahBergen That photo of Tonya! 😂😂 6y

Cinfhen I know @LeahBergen it‘s perfect 😀💟 5y

JennyM Ooo, great pick! 5y

Cathythoughts Nice one 👍🏻💙 ( n......ice one 😬 too corny 😘😘 5y

arlenefinnigan I, Tonya is a great film. I did feel quite sorry for her after watching it. 5y

GripLitGrl Perfect👏👏 5y

Cinfhen Hahahaha @Cathythoughts that‘s totally my type of joke 🌽🌽🌽🌽Hubby said the same thing @arlenefinnigan Poor, Tanya @JennyM @GripLitGrl #Misunderstood 5y

StephanieGeiser I, Tonya was great! I definitely recommend it! 5y

GatheringBooks oh wow indeed! 5y

Billypar This was a great choice, and I'm excited to see more non-fiction picks this month. With fiction I've got the usual gigantic TBR problem, but for NF I never know what to pick up next. 5y

Cinfhen I have a feeling you‘ll be seeing a lot of true crime and memoirs @Billypar and I‘ll probably have not read most 🙄 5y

Cinfhen I think I feel a binge watch coming up @StephanieGeiser ⛸⛸⛸ 5y

Billypar @Cinfhen Both of those suit me fine! 5y

Reviewsbylola I remember when this happened, even tho I was only a kid. Poor Nancy! 5y

Cinfhen It was crazzzy town @Reviewsbylola 😱🤯and I loved it❣️❣️❣️ 5y
