I was a Les Mills instructor for almost 15 years, teaching four different programs: BodyPump, BodyStep, BodyCombat and RPM. It's a cult, but I loved practically every minute I was in it. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/29/w...

#BookSky Sour Cherry Natalia Theodoridou ⭐⭐⭐ I liked this, though the first third was the most interesting. The shifting points of view were a bit distracting, though the prose was quite beautiful and haunting. I would only recommend for those who love horror based in fairy tales of yore.

Cover of Sour Cherry a novel, by Natalia Theodorudou shows a woman's head, her long hair tangled above her as if decapitated on a red background. The blub by Rory Power says: "A folktale, a whisper, and a dream, all at once."

#BookSky Never Flinch Stephen King ⭐⭐⭐ This was kinda meh and I think I'm done with Holly Gibney. It was a fun ride while it lasted.

I've been super lax on #BookSky this year so will try to catch up. It Stephen King ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reread as an adult and boy that "act of love" at the end really hits different now. Why no editor protested is beyond me. Otherwise it was a great read and useful for remembering details I had long forgotten.

Tattered book cover of "It" by Stephen King illustrated with a paper boad floating towards a storm drain grate from which a monsters hand and talons are emerging.
