Hello all!

Skateboarding season has finally arrived in my town and I’m a lifelong skateboarder. As such, I’ve found myself in a reading slump due to the only thing on my mind being skateboarding. The only content I’ve been consuming lately is skating content. Whether it be, videos, games, or just general entertainment by staying at the skatepark all day. I mean I even spent yesterday putting together boards because it was raining.

I know this is a weird ask but I’m trusting you guys because of the sheer amount of obscure books this community seems to go feral over. I need skateboarding in books. It can be as little as a character mentioning skating or being a self proclaimed skateboarder, I just need something to get me reading again. I recently read Cemetary Boys and the very small, yet somehow still inaccurate, inclusion of skateboarding kind of got me through parts of that book ngl 😅

I’m hoping this goes well, fingers crossed!

I was talking to a couple of coworkers today about books and how I’m struggling because the only time I really get to listen to audiobooks is on my commute but that’s also the only time I get to listen to music. I was saying how I wish I could “split screen” my brain so I could listen to two different things at once and still fully appreciate and enjoy them both.

If that were possible, what two things are you listening to? Mine right now would be Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide and Network Effect by Martha Wells.
