And archery- I couldn't resist lol. <br /><br />I think you'd like The Woman in Cabin 10. It's not the best book ever but I did like the mystery. Slated is not bad- it's a nice dystopian set in England, but it's more a surveillance state which gives it a creepier feel. And Girl on the Train- I don't know, it kinda bored me, but I will see the movie!

I might end up watching the finals by myself. Every time you talk about The School For Extraordinary Girls I want to read it even more. Great tag and great choices. I might do this tag, too. :)La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-27978276394204947522016-08-12T01:18:06.722-07:002016-08-12T01:18:06.722-07:00Nice list Greg.

That might inspire me to do a part two to my Olympics tag haha. <br /><br />As for me I have been watching a lot of swimming and beach volleyball as well. In past Olympics I've also enjoyed watching fencing, but have yet to watch any yet.

Especially the boat one- man, I have SO MANY I could have chosen from, that was good thinking! And true story, I considered an archery one, but then I realized that I needed to be stopped with The Hunger Games so I am glad you did it instead ;) <br /><br />I am now VERY intrigued by the Slated series! I found the first book used somewhere so I have it, and now I really want to read it! Glad I never bothered with Girl on a Train, but I DO feel like it could make a decent movie based on the synopsis, so I will stick with that! The Woman in Cabin 10 sounds like a book I need to read (and scare myself with)! I once thought I was locked in a cabin, but I was actually just 10 and stupid 😂<br /><br />My favorite sport, of course, is swimming! Both to do and watch- but I must say, watching it in the Olympics makes me so sad- it's kind of hard to watch, honestly! Love the way you did this!
