I...We Should Hang Out Some Time By Josh Sundquist. It's an autobiography about his investigation on why he was single so long and what was wrong with hit (hint nothing) <---- that also gives away nothing... its on the cover. Josh is a Cancer survivor, who lost his leg, Youtuber, Para Olympic skier and soccer player and all around great guy. He is also really really funny. I have recommend his book so much that his last name is in my phone dictionary, which when I tweeted him that he found it really funny. Anyway it's a great read and reminds us who we are as people, and that we are not as flawed as we thing.Rachel https://www.blogger.com/profile/05964694091061115110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-28390666944012786012015-02-04T20:07:11.058-05:002015-02-04T20:07:11.058-05:00I'd tell you to write it down, but I'm goi...I'd tell you to write it down, but I'm going to guess you'd lose the note before then.

I will be sure to remember for next time....like that's going to happen. ;)<br /><br />One of our group's favourite was The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. It's about a crew team from University of Washington training for the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I LOVED it! Many on my dragon boat team are now reading too. All about team work. I think Phoenix would enjoy this one too. <br /><br />The other that I really enjoyed was The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. A light and very enjoyable read. I have the sequel The Rosie Effect which I'm hoping to read next. @dkotuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395598913393994830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-82875870174258945952015-02-04T11:24:28.965-05:002015-02-04T11:24:28.965-05:00I've read The Curious Incident of the Dog in t...I've read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
