The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas, Fifty Years of Sisterhood, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History | Karen Valby

My suggestions for #CampLitsy24
—The Cemetery of untold Stories because I enjoyed her previous books & the whole concept of the book fascinates me.
— The Swans of Harlem- to learn more about the lives of these special women- intrigues me
— There‘s Always This Year- on Basketball and Ascension — I love basketball - on basketball & storytelling
— The Hunter - Tana French‘s novels/thrillers are engaging, at times disturbing, unique characters

Not my usual genre.
Three talented ballet dancers at a conservatory. Three competitive dance moms. A feckless French star turned ballet dancer looking to film his redemption and search for a scholarship student to Paris. Backstabbing, jealousy, burnout, grief, ambition, arson.
I enjoyed this - it would make a great drama of a miniseries.

The True Memoirs of Little K: A Novel | Adrienne Sharp

#BookedinTime #February #HailtheBail

I tried print and audio. A whole lot of telling going on and I‘m bored. I think I‘d be better off reading Mathilda Kschessinska‘s own Dancing in Petersburg.

Ballet Shoes | Noel Streatfeild

ravenlee My kiddo spent an entire summer reading Ballet Shoes. Every time she got to the end she‘d sigh, then go right back to the beginning. She must have read it 20+ times just that summer. 1mo

TheBookHippie @ravenlee ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ So sweet. 1mo

Engrossing to the point that I got irritated when I was interrupted near the end. Loved the ballet focus and the variety of personalities and goals between the moms and the daughters. Do I wish there was more comeuppance for Savvy and Josie? Sure. But it didn't spoil my enjoyment. #fiction
