The Incomplete Book of Running | Peter Sagal

pick

I have a complicated relationship with running. I was out running one morning and was attacked. Grabbed from behind. I‘m so angry. I feel like I‘ll never feel “safe” running again. I think I would have liked this book if I‘d read it a month ago. But I just kept being jealous of Peter, that he could go outside without someone hurting him. That he never had to think about safety in the same way (as far as I know). But that‘s not his fault.

It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life | Lance Armstrong

#Augustabc @Eggs One #loathsomeliar that came to mind was Lance Armstrong. His doping scandal rocked the athletic world and he got sued over fraudulent claims in his memoir.

Eggs He had us believing for such a long time 2w

marleed I think what bothers me most about him is the people he negatively impacted when they did support his lies. 2w

Oh, dear.

Some of you may have noticed that I do like an occasional fluffy sexy-time book to offset my more serious literature. I‘m not ashamed.

But guys... this one is pretty bad. Like, needs an editor, completely unrealistic, cringey character bad. The sexy parts were not all that hot and even kinda weird, and I mean, I admit to enjoying the hell out of Fifty Shades.

Of course I read the whole thing anyway. Whatevs.🤷🏻‍♀️

sprainedbrain Dear god. This has a 4.2 average rating on Goodreads. Maybe I‘m the problem? 1mo

vivastory This review made my day 😂 1mo

Reggie I think the hardcore romance people are a generally happy and positive people. I go on there and I don‘t think there‘s a lot of romances with less than a solid 4 star rating lol. 1mo

rretzler @sprainedbrain @Reggie Not many books have ratings of under 4⭐️ on Amazon. Most people even if they remotely like a book tend to give it a 5. I tend to stay away from anything less than 4 because it‘s got to be bad based on what I‘ve observed. I almost think that for ratings on Amazon that you only need to look at books over 4⭐️ and then the number AFTER the decimal tells the true rating of the book out of 10 🤣🤣 1mo

sprainedbrain @rretzler I think you‘re right and I LOVE your after-the-decimal system. 😂 1mo

sprainedbrain @Reggie So I am definitely the problem. 🤣 1mo

sprainedbrain @vivastory I‘m glad I could help! 😆 1mo

I don‘t come across this often, but I like it when an author gives me a playlist for a book.

Playlist downloaded, and off I go!

I freaking love this book. It was so serious and emotional at times. The characters where nothing like I expected, starting the next one immediately.
