Now that the book is out, I can't wait for the discussion. I had a few issues with the ending, but overall I really liked this book and I'm looking forward to seeing what others think. I had a lot of fun trying to figure out who some of the characters might have been inspired by. Does anyone...

I got an early review copy of The Favourite on NetGalley. I have about 20 pages left, but overall I really like it. There are a lot of easter eggs that I caught as someone who has watched skating regularly since the late nineties, the interesting names being the least of them. It's obvious that...

This is so unbelievably tragic. I saw Denis live at 2013 worlds and I remember wondering if the choir of 'angels' singing the anthems had practiced the Kazakh anthem should he win. He had such a magnificent skate there. May the angels sing for you now, Denis. So heartbreaking.

What a terrible day for news from the skating world today. This makes me so sad. :( Their spark and joy together will be very much missed.

How is everyone doing with their radiation? Unfortunately, I'm not doing so well and need some more advice. I've had to go to a pretty much liquid diet since swallowing anything solid is very painful. I have 4 treatments left out of 20. I've been given some strong liquid pain relievers. I...

Thank you. Good luck to you as well. Hopefully it all goes as smoothly as possible and neither of us have too many side effects.

This is a very timely topic for me as I was just about to ask for similar advice. I started radiation today (neck and chest) and I'm also wondering from those who have been through it, how severe the side effects were and how long they lasted after the treatment. Alixana, is it alright if I PM...
