varBounce: The Myth of Talent and the Power of Practice
Essential reading following an astounding summer of sport; if you’ve ever wondered what makes a champion, Bounce has the answer.What are the real secrets of sporting success, and what lessons do they offer about life? Why doesn’t Tiger Woods “choke”? Why are the best figure skaters those that have fallen over the most and why has one small street in Reading produced more top table tennis players than the rest of the country put together.
Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking
Where do the best ideas come from? And how do we apply these ideas to the problems we face - at work, in the education of our children, and in the biggest shared challenges of our age: rising obesity, terrorism and climate change? In this bold and inspiring new book, Matthew Syed - the bestselling author of Bounce and Black Box Thinking - argues that individual intelligence is no longer enough; that the only way to tackle these complex problems is to harness the power of our 'cognitive diversity'. Rebel Ideas is a fascinating journey through the science of team performance. It draws on psychology, economics, anthropology and genetics, and takes lessons from a dazzling range of case-studies, including the catastrophic intelligence failings of the CIA before 9/11, a communication breakdown at the top of Mount Everest, and a moving tale of deradicalization in America's deep South. It is book that will strengthen any company, institution or team, but it also offers many individual applications too: the remarkable benefits of personalised nutrition, advice on how to break free of the echo chambers that surround us, and tips on how we can all develop an 'outsider mindset'. Rebel Ideas offers a radical blueprint for creative problem-solving. It challenges hierarchies, encourages constructive dissent and forces us to think again about where the best ideas come from.
Black Box Thinking: Marginal Gains and the Secrets of High Performance
What links the Mercedes Formula One team with Google? What links Team Sky and the aviation industry? What connects James Dyson and David Beckham? They are all Black Box Thinkers. Black Box Thinking is a new approach to high performance, a means of finding an edge in a complex and fast-changing world. It is not just about sport, but has powerful implications for business and politics, as well as for parents and students. In other words, all of us. Drawing on a dizzying array of case studies and real-world examples, together with cutting-edge research on marginal gains, creativity and grit, Matthew Syed tells the inside story of how success really happens - and how we cannot grow unless we are prepared to learn from our mistakes.

Queer Holiday Romance
Format: Paperback
Thank you, Netgalley and Pengiun Books for an arc of I'll Get Back To You by Becca Grischow. This book is a cozy and heartfelt queer holiday romance that captures the messy beauty of growing up and falling in love. Set around Thanksgiving, the story follows Murphy, a struggling college student, and Ellie, her unexpectedly queer former classmate, as they fake a relationship for a weekend that turns into something more. With authentic characters and a Midwest setting, the novel blends humor, vulnerability, and sapphic charm, making it a refreshing and relatable read for anyone who loves queer stories with emotional depth and seasonal warmth

A FUN BOOK TO READ
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was full of fun dialog and jokes. It made me laugh, just rolling with laughter. It was interesting to learn about that area of the country, especially the Cubs aspect. A pleasant surprise was that one of the MCs was a Jew. I liked feeling the connection because there aren't that many in the books I've read. The Thanksgiving dressing made with challah was a nice touch.
I tried finding more books by this author but didn't have any success. I wonder if this is her first. I will read more if I find them.

Young adult wlw romance
Format: Kindle
Picked this one up spontaneously. It's a cute YA romance between Murphy, a lesbian trying to pass her accounting class, and an old highschool classmate, Ellie. Ellie has glamped up into an artsy bisexual just trying to convince her mom to splurge on grad school in NYC. When they run into each other at a bar, they find out they can help each other after discovering Ellie's mom is Murphy's professor! it's fake dating and one night to forever 😍 there's no spice but tons of humor! The characters read their age, young, disorganized, semi toxic. More of a young adult read.
