Finished another book last night: Hope, the autobiography of Pope Francis.
He's an interesting man who has led an inspirational life. I don't often read biographies of non-baseball players. This was pretty good, he's a better writer than most baseball players, lol. It's a low bar

Finished two more books today for #rootrootread
1.) For a book by an author with last name S: When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. Excellent middle grades book with a twist of Sci Fi. Masterfully plotted, but I wish it were just a little longer to address a couple loose ends

Finished the Doctor Aphra audio drama for book #5. It was an enjoyable listen. Star Wars really goes all out for their audio books/plays. However I kinda hate Aphra (she’s basically Belloq from Raiders of the Lost Ark), so I was glad to get this out of the way. #RootRootRead

Listened to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to get ready for the upcoming show. Enjoyed it very much but have no idea how they’re going to get more than one season out of three stories. Made me realize how much I’ve missed Westeros. #RootRootRead

Offseason #RootRootRead thread! Book checked out from the library is Patrick Radden Keefe’s SAY NOTHING, a heartbreaking account of the Troubles with a focus on Jean McConville, single mother of 10 who was disappeared by the IRA. (I read for 30 minutes uninterrupted every day, so that one was easy!)

Giving #rootrootread another try. My phone's acting weird, so I can't edit the bingo sheet at the moment. My last two books, both finished yesterday are below.
It will cover the read for thirty minutes and the author of a different religion squares.

Yesterday I finished another book for #rootrootread - We Are Big Time, by Hena Khan and Safiya Zerrougui.
It's a middle grade graphic novel based on the real life story of Salam School's girls basketball team of 2018-19. I enjoyed it, an above average graphic novel for 3rd-6th grade
