Chose this one. Got a fire going. Not feeling very well. I do hope with some rest I won't get really sick.

maich Hope you feel better. It is this strange weather that we all feel different. 2d
Soubhiville I hope you feel better. 2d
Deifio Thank you @maich and @Soubhiville I do hope to get around a cold. Certainly feels like the beginnings of one. The kids feel a bit under the weather too. Reading lots, so that should help 😉 2d

Occasionally I will think: “This thing I enjoy/love, I don‘t actually know all that much about it.” Which is how I came to The Immortal Game.

As far as historical dives into Chess itself, it appears the selection is lacking. Most of the books I could find focus more on theory, move analysis, or famous players. As someone who is only a casual player, Shenk‘s book provided what I had been searching for: the previous items plus a basic history.

I love Ali Hazelwood and this YA debut was so good. The characters, the world of competitive chess and the stresses of caring for family at a young age were all so well written. Loved the audiobook!

I just cannot focus on Iron Flame right now so to change it up I will be reading this one! I enjoyed her previous work and am curious about the latest arrival. (Already have Bride ready as well on Kindle!)

Mallory is stuck between what she wants and what she should do for family. I like the way chess is explained and the facts given about sexism.

I feel the same. Like everyone around us is part of the same connective tissue, and you‘re just floating about. Unbound.

CogsOfEncouragement I plan to read Falling… next month too. I‘m participating in Trope-Ical Readathon https://jenjenreviews.wordpress.com/tropeical-readathon/ and it fulfills the twin trope for me. I love Emma St. Clair‘s writing. 2mo
Read4life @CogsOfEncouragement that looks fantastic! Good luck 🍀 2mo

Ali Hazelwood is one of my favorite authors and I will read anything she writes. This is her YA debut set in the world of chess, and I was not disappointed - I blew through this book in one sitting!
