want to know what has stood out to me the most about tonight’s match between the Reign and Courage so far? Gary Bailey referring to Jayden Shaw being sold to Gotham FC. Incredibly inappropriate choice of words. #nwsl

I just started A Perilous Undertaking and I usually use @libbyapp.com for my audiobooks, Compass Points being in the Nook app was just a one off.

My recently finished and just started audiobooks. I very much enjoyed Compass Points but I listened to it using the Barnes & Noble Nook app and I have to say it was terrible at maintaining my place in between listening sessions.#BookSky #audiobooks
