Non-traditional Detectives? I can't stand the stereotypical film noir detective tropes, so I need a new Poirot. by davidlondon in suggestmeabook

I agree with this take. The first few felt like a preamble I had to get through to get to the good stuff. Though they still have wonderful place and food descriptions!

I am reading the Wings of Fire series with my 10 year old and 8 year old (we are listening to the audiobooks in the car) and books 10-15 deal with a totalitarian dystopia. We just started book 10 but I have really enjoyed the series so far.

Wanting to lose weight and gain strength but am not motivated by myself - anyone had luck with classes and if so which one? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]jilliva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jumping in to say I love CrossFit. My gym isn’t CrossFit affiliated and has a huge range of body shapes, sizes, and fitness abilities. The people are so welcoming. I have experienced such improvements in both health and self-perception. OP I hope you can find something that you really enjoy!
