“a heart in a body in the world” – from our CMS library – great book – about running, of course:) actually, just about running tangentially – really, about overcoming a traumatic situation – and in this case, running helped – so i was sold:)

“never settle” – espn’s marty smith – great for the shelf of a middle school library for your sports fans – i enjoyed it – especially b/c smith is about my age – so most of his references were things i could get:)

“what kind of girl” – finished the book set ms. blount brought me over the summer – so i guess summer is over – great book – but a tough one – on relationship abuse – tough subject, but good for letting people know they aren’t alone in situations like that

“stand up and shout out” – book on women’s athletics and the media

“the topeka school” – from my own library – fiction set in the 1990s – and involved high school debate – so i enjoyed the debate part quite a bit

“the education of an idealist” – favorite book of this section – sam power – very good – and lots of lessons in there for educators – much less others

“100 Bible verses that made America” – interesting premise – the verses were tangential to the moment – tended to the hagiography – but i got through it:)

“The Wax Pack” – author chases down the men in a pack of 1986 Tops baseball cards – I really enjoyed this book – ’87 was the year I started – but I knew all the men he interviewed – fascinating book

“Hawk” – White Sox broadcaster – 400 pages – wow, did he have a lot to say about his career and baseball:)

“No Summit You Can’t Climb” – needed a library book for the weekend – so, meh, it worked:)

“Brave Enough” – great, great book on a brave Olympic medalist – very much enjoyed this book
