Ali’s comments from the BYL Reading Challenge group.

I'm reading 'We Ride Upon Sticks' which is about a girls' field hockey team in 1980s Massachusetts and some witchy stuff they get themselves into.

I'll probably read The Kiss Quotient, which is a rom-com about a female mathematician. Not sure how much of the book focuses on the STEM aspects but it's February so fluffy romance it is!

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver is a lovely memoir about sustainable living. I mentioned it elsewhere but I love it. ❤

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver is excellent. Also would work as a memoir.

"The Sleeper and the Spindle" is a short story/novella by Neil Gaiman that would make a lovely read-aloud. Snow White and a few trusted dwarves adventure to the neighboring kingdom to save Sleeping Beauty.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine is set in Scotland

I'm using this one as an excuse to pick up King for the first time.

Googling turned up a bit but I asked for ideas in a local moms Facebook group and they had tons of suggestions!

My husband loves a novella called 'A Chess Story" or "The Royal Game" by Stefan Zweig that would be fun if you can find it, especially of you're into chess at moment after a 'Queen's Gambit binge. It would also work as a book about a game.

I thought of Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins, which has characters from Greek mythology.
