For a fun (and for some of you, useful, maybe?) connection, partner Tequila Mockingbird from the February 9, 2016 post with The Cocktail Guide to the Galaxy: a Universe of Unique Cocktails from the Celebrated Doctor Who Bar, by Andy Heidel. The connections with so many SF books and authors and shows and movies ... well, it was just a great read! I have not tried any of those included here, but it seems they've all been field tested as being excellent.

I had mixed reactions to The Library of Unrequited Love, by Sophie Divry and translated from the French by Sian Reynolds. When a librarian (assigned to the books on the lower level of the library) comes across someone who got locked in the library overnight, she gets started on a one-sided conversation that goes on and on. I found myself agreeing sometimes, and not others. Sometimes I thought she was spot on, other times I felt like she was whining. It's a short book, just 93 pages long, so I suggest giving it a try and seeing what you think!

Here's something for my strong women trail and well as the 'you read what?' trail! Women in Sports: 50 Fearless Athletes Who Played to Win, written and illustrated by Rachel Ignotofsky. Designed for tweens, I think, this is a great collection of short bios, fun pictures, and bits of trivia about athletic women from early times to present day.
