Would like to see your costume for Jazz.

Hi Guys, I did not realize teams were up. I’m from NYC, still soaked from yesterday’s floods. I’m in a reading slump since TT10 and hoping this will pull me out.
I don’t really like jazz music but am jazzed to be on this team. I’ll read stuff I usually don’t during these team challenges.

Yay, just signed up.

Can't wait for whatever. These challenges are the best.

Guys, i've really enjoyed this team. You guys pushed me to read more than any other TT challenge and half of my books for the year. Thanks to the Caps for keeping us in line. Until next time.

DQs Day 3 - The Australian Open (58%)

9. Gwen sends Carrie a gift the start day of the Australian Open…a Discman! The first song it plays is ‘The Bitch is Back’…I love this album. I immediately went to play me some Elton John tunes😊 Do you have a song or routine that gets you revved up…sets a tone to put you in the right state of mind?
I don't know that song. I like Christian music.
10. Reflections--
Carrie thinks…I inhabit the silence of this moment with my father, when we are still asking questions and do not yet have to live with the answers. What do you think she means at this moment in time with that comment?
"Te quiero mucho, pichona," he says.
I open up my eyes, "I know. I love you too."
Javier and Carrie both have many reflective moments throughout these matches… Is this a premonition of what’s to come with the open or even more in the future?
They love each other very much.

12. We hear from the media in various forms throughout. What are your thoughts about some of their comments so far? Do you believe any of them have affected Carrie or the game? I was thinking about this especially when Gwen indicates Elite Gold was pulling back some of their ads prior to the French Open. Gwen has a role in her job with managing all of this…what are your thoughts about the impact of media and advertising with sport?
She is so focused on winning I don't think she cares at the moment. She will be getting better opportunities,

13. Carrie’s been doing some very smart training thanks to her father. She’s been practicing in recent weeks with Bowe on clay and Bowe has challenged her, calling her a ‘quitter’. And here at the end of this segment, she’s just had a challenge from Nikki Chan. Is she going to win? Is Nikki? What do you anticipate happening in Paris?
Carrie will win.

DQs Day 2 - The Comeback (40%)

5. Welcome back sports fans! If any of you have read other Taylor Jenkins Reid's novels, you know she loves looking back at interesting eras in time. The Golden Age of Hollywood! 70s rock and roll excess! Why do you think TJR chose to focus on 90s sports for this novel? Do you think it was only to bring Carrie back or do you think there was something special about sports during that time?
I don't know buf they had some awesome players in that decade.

6. In this section we are introduced to Bowe. What do you think about him? Do you think he is a good match for Carrie (in sports or romantically)?
I like him and his character. He would be a goid romantic fit for Carrie. I hooe he is able to win a title of some kind to justify him playing for so long.

7. In this section, there is a letter from the editor entitled "Why I'm Thankful for Carrie Soto" in which the author, Helene, says that Carrie was inspiring to her as a child. Do you find inspiration in any sports legends past or present? If so, who and why?
I don't idolize athletes as a whole as they are people with flaws.

8. Up next is the Australian Open! Any predictions on what is going to happen in the next section of the book? Also how are you enjoying the book so far?
I think she will surpdise a lot of people. I expect her to win big. I am livi g the book so far.

I have a librarian book I can read.
