This evening’s entertainment is the international friendly between the USMNT and Brazil. The record isn’t great (Brazil is at 17-1-0 against the US), but it’s exciting to see the younger players out there. Hopefully, they’ll really start building towards the next World Cup sooner rather than later. Now if they could just a good coach and strengthen the defense….
BOOK REVIEW: “All That Was Lost”
9/06/18
If you have a secret, do you have to lie in order to keep it a secret? Or is it possible to be truthful and still keep your secret? Can keeping a secret and lying about it negatively impact your well-being?
This was a fantastic book that explores these questions in an approachable and thought-provoking manner. Patrice is a well-known psychic who hires Leo to ghostwrite her autobiography. Through Patrice’s flashbacks to 1967, the reader gains insight as to her motivations. Leo has his own story that intertwines with Patrice’s, as does Louise. These three main characters’ points of view intertwine nicely without the reader feeling jarred when a perspective changes. There are a couple of minor twists, and a few major ones, but this isn’t a thriller. It’s more of a reflection on how life can throw us curveballs, how we deal with those curveballs, and how our actions can affect others. A really great read from Alison May.Â

Still working on the widgets (and apparently learning a whole new vocabulary). For the time being, if you want to follow me elsewhere, you’ll have to copy and paste the links into your browser. Sorry for the inconvenience; I’ll update when I get the links active. Â
Flood of Book Reviews
Over the next few days, I’m going to be adding the reviews that I’ve completed over the past few months. With a little bit of luck, I’ll remember to backdate and tag them all, so eventually you’ll be able to search by genre to find new book suggestions! Â
Well, that’s the current plan, anyway….
