TWO-CENT TUESDAY

Below are a few (somewhat) brief, $.02 opinions about several books I've read or listened to recently but don't have time to review in full. Their appearance in this recurring piece generally has little to nothing to do with merit. Many of these books I enjoyed as much or more than those that got the full court press. I hope you'll consider one or two for your own TBR stack if they strike your fancy whether they struck mine or not.

Where There's a Will, by Emily Chappell

I have to take a good part of the hit on this one. I was really looking forward to this memoir by Emily Chappell, relaying the epic story of her efforts to win the Transcontinental bike race, a 4,000km trek across Europe, unassisted. During her first attempt, she failed, regaining consciousness lying on her back in a field. I love stories of people fighting against the elements and the limits of the human mind and body. For some reason, the start of this one (with Chappell coming to in the field) was really confusing and I had an immediate disconnect. Again, I think this was me and I picked this up at the wrong time, but the entry was not a smooth one. I'll give it another go one of these days.

IEmily Chappell strength of mind and body her level of endurance to participate in the Transcontinental bike races race where you ride &ride. Sleep mostly outdoors wherever you find a place a torturous race then the author thrived in.We meet others-racers some
Who become close friends from the racing world one friend Mike who sadly passes away during the ride.
A fascinating read a world I knew nothing about and really was fascinated, awed by Emily and the other participants. Highly recommend elven for arm chair sports enthusiasts like me,
