I found a lot of this to be judgmental and alarmist, but it was worth reading for the discussion of the different ways concussions present in girls and boys #soccermom

Pickpick

I feel like it‘s been a while since I last curled up with a memoir/essay collection! Hitting the shelves next week is this Nashville author‘s second book- and one that had me promptly adding her first to my TBR- a collection of snippets of her life, anxieties, fears and moments large and small over the past few years. In her forties and a mother of two, I think many will find something relatable here. It‘s a quick read and one that I enjoyed!

Cinfhen I read her first book after @britt_brooke posted and it was really charming, funny, relatable - I‘ve heard this one is even better ☺️ 2y
TorieStorieS @Cinfhen I know you listen to a lot of audiobooks too- did you read or listen to her first one? 2y
britt_brooke I‘m so happy you enjoyed! I wish I could make it to her book launch at Parnassus tomorrow, but we have out-of-town soccer. 😩 2y

TorieStorieS @britt_brooke Oh well I‘m sure soccer will be fun, too!! Parnassus is on my wish list of book stores to visit!! 2y
britt_brooke @TorieStorieS It definitely will! 😄 It‘s life several months out of the year, but we really do love it! Makes it hard to do anything else, though. 😝 I sure hope you get to Parnassus one day. It‘s pretty incredible! I‘m about 40 minutes away and it‘s just far enough to probably be a good thing 💸😂, but I don‘t go nearly enough. 2y
TorieStorieS @britt_brooke Hoping to get to Nashville in the next few months! A few years ago, my cousins and I did an indie bookstore tour and we have been talking about doing different states this year (we did Illinois/Wisconsin last time!) 2y
britt_brooke @TorieStorieS That‘s so fun! I try to hit indie shops when we go on vacations but I love the idea of that being the trip itself! When the time comes, you‘ve gotta hit The Bookshop in East Nashville, too. It‘s impeccably curated for a small space. 2y
Cinfhen I did audio!! MLP reads…And I hope to do audio again for 2y
Cinfhen @britt_brooke if anyone was meant to be a #SoccerMom it‘s you 💚⚽️ 2y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen For parents who never played themselves, Rob and I are pretty into it! 😄 No way I‘d rather spend weekends. The boys love it! 2y
Cinfhen Two of my nephews play/played soccer pretty intensely @britt_brooke both do/did the travel team circuit….that‘s when it starts to get less fun, I think 😉My nephew ( who had to stop playing due to too many injuries) played in Barcelona with FC Barcelona‘s youth team for 2 seasons. Soccer allows for cool connections. That‘s the beauty of sports! 2y
EvieBee This sounds great! On order at the library and I‘m first on the list. 2y
TorieStorieS @britt_brooke Thanks!! I‘m adding it to the list!! Hope the matches go well!! ⚽️🥳 2y
TorieStorieS @Cinfhen Oh- maybe I will do audio then for the first one!! Thanks!! ❤️🌸 2y
TorieStorieS @EvieBee Always fun to be first on a list!! I hope you enjoy it!! 2y

I‘d rather be at home reading but when your oldest son and husband are the coach and assistant respectively, AND your youngest son plays on the soccer team as a mom you have to come out and cheer. ☀️📚⚽️ Not sure I like this one; the dialogue between characters is just getting under my skin and not in a good way. Only about 20% in though, hopefully it gets better? #netgalleyarc #soccermom #summereading

Started this one recently. It‘s my pick for a book from 1979. Trying to read a book from each year for my own personal 40th bday challenge. #soccermom #40bdaychallenge

andrew61 That is a great idea, enjoy it, although mine would be more challenging 😂 5y

A little late for #readingoutside but I'm at the Washington Convention Center bright and early waiting for the National Book Festival to start and to wait in line to see Stephen King. So I'll be reading for a little outside. #septemberphotochallenge #bookfestival #king

TsahaiMakeda So jealous right now. That's two festivals in a row I've had to miss #soccermom 8y
TheNextBook @TsahaiMakeda when I found out King was speaking I knew I had to come. I couldn't miss out on him speaking. I have my seat and now I can wait for two hours 😳 8y
megt Awesome! I hope you have a great time! 8y

Reading while one kid plays soccer and the other takes a car nap. Struggling a bit to get into this coming of age classic. #soccermom #shouldhavereadinschool
