I have finished 3 books since I last posted:
Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders - pretty good, but it wasn't so "secret." College cheerleaders are athletic and sometimes struggle to be small enough, no new ground here for me.
Other Queen - I was very disappointed in this one, it was surprisingly repetitive. I almost put the book down because I couldn't get through the first 2-3 Mary sections (im a sacred queen, I must be free, blah de blah blah). I stuck with it because of Bess Hardwick who was a fascinating lady, this character wasn't nearly as interesting as her real world counterpart. Also, needed more QE1.
Shining City - very funny at times, almost preciously so. Most advanced vocabulary in any book I've read lately, maybe he got a new Thesarus app for his iPhone or something.
