Olympic gymnastics: Your most Googled questions answered




Review: Blind Landing - Book #1 Flipped Series - Carrie Aarons - July 2016

What does one do when they don't know what to read and have felt a bit of a slump last week for me was quite a down week. Being an HSP and empath, not only have we had lots happening with the weather but in myself and my household, lots of things have been happening and a few unsettled feelings and it affected me. I couldn't read, I hardly ate and so when I did read - I scrolled to some older titles until one jumped out at me and so I gave it a go. Blind Landing was a good new adult romance set in the world of gymnastics, which is a sport I have always admired and wish that I could have been more coordinated and started gymnastics when I was younger but with costs, we just couldn't afford things like this but I have always loved watching it on TV as the things they do are just so graceful as they move so fluidly through their routines. Blind Landing is not only a story of overcoming fear and conquering the dream of gold at the Olympics but also a new adult romance read between a coach and gymnast, but do not fear - they are both consenting adults and only 5 years between the pair with our female Nat being 19ish and our coach Spencer - 23 years old.  Blind Landing is one of those contemporary New Adult romances that you can read and not think much about - it's a mindless read that if you are having a week where you can't concentrate deeply, these types of reads just hit the spot. Also after reading this book, I went on Youtube and rewatched some of my favourite parts of the gymnastics movie "Stick It", especially Wei Wei's beam routine.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
