This seems like it should absolutely be on my list of beloved books, but I just am not enjoying it. Maybe it's the hyper focus on the sexual that's just not meshing well this week with my demisexual self. I am also just not quite following on the whole magical girl dominating softball thing. It's not quite as interesting as I expected, but it is still pretty fun. #LGBTQIA #Sports #Comic

1. Field of Dreams
2. Killing Eve (TV show, but SO much better than the book)
3. The Notebook

@dabbe

Karkar Oh I liked the notebook movie ending wayyyyy better than the book. 3w
Billypar I loved Killing Eve! I haven't watched/read the others, but I heard the same opinion about The Notebook. No idea Field of Dreams was a book. 3w
dabbe TV shows count, too! 🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for sharing. 💚🩷💚 3w
TheBookHippie Agree about The Notebook! 3w

Open: An Autobiography | Andre Agassi

I still have very little time to post, but here are the next 4 books I've read for the #52bookclub24 challenge.

eeclayton (5) Magical realism -- It's a heartbreaking and also heartwarming story, but it didn't resonate with me as much as it could have if it didn't use all these far-fetched elements like the all-knowing tree and literate mice and storyteller butterflies. 3w
eeclayton (10) Told in non-chronological order -- To me, the plot was more interesting than the first novel's, but the final chapter with the backstory was so long and boooring #noplacelikeHolmes 3w
eeclayton (14) A grieving character -- This trilogy will stay with me. I loved the third book, too. 3w
See All 9 Comments
eeclayton (21) Written by a ghostwriter -- It's what the title promises: an intimate and brutally honest memoir with lots of life lessons, not the clichéd ones, but real thoughts that stem from real struggles. He doesn't shy away from recounting his bad decisions and taking responsibility. Great read. I also appreciate his afterword about the ghostwriter. 3w
Librarybelle Great choices for the prompts! 3w
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 3w
eeclayton @Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks Thanks ☺️ I also love how I get to read titles I wouldn't have picked up if it wasn't for the challenge! 3w
Librarybelle Completely agree with that, @eeclayton ! 3w
BarbaraBB I am glad you have time to read 🤍 (edited) 3w

I have reviews to finish up for March but was side tracked today by watching the NC State Women‘s basketball team beat Texas to make it to the Final Four. Then watch the Men‘s team beat Duke to make it to the Final Four. After a sometimes frustrating season (especially for the men‘s team) as a fan it‘s been so exciting to see them both make it so far. And as an alumni this is so amazing. Go Pack ❤️🐺🏀 & Why Not Us? Thinking of Coach Jimmy V

RamsFan1963 Even though my Men's bracket is a mess, NC State is still there and they're my pick to win it all. On the women's side, I have to root for my team, South Carolina. 3w

Arnie Yashenko, 8th grader, has all the panache of a modern #superhero. He‘s tall, quick, agile, good student, good at any sport he tries, not to mention already plays on a high school football team. Korman‘s new book is clever and amusing, published this year.
