      Just to encourage discussion a little more than we've had lately...Which book for this challenge (whether or not you actually completed the challenge) was the most meaningful/ greatest read?
      I personally was just blown away by The Crossover.
I had no expectations for the book, and though I didn't expect to dislike it, I hadn't planned on liking it either. It has great poetry, great thematic follow through, exceptional plot, great characterization. It was just wholly good for me.

I really loved
 and I enjoyed 
  
, but the one's really stuck with me was 
  
. Spinning is a falling-out-of-love letter with figure staking, and the MC battles isolation, imposter syndrome, burnout, depression and coming to terms with her own sexuality and the fact that the sport she used to love just...isn't all that anymore. It really hit home.
