In fact, I suspect that Julia Bell will be one of those writers whose next book I will automatically pick up no matter what the topic. The stark black cover with a set of weigh scales on the front is practically enough to scare anyone with weight issues off, so I had been holding off reading this one as I had the uneasy feeling that it was very much an “issue book.” But, I was much mistaken, and should have read it sooner. It’s one I’ve had around for a while having been published first in 2002 by Young Picador of London. So, on this trip, I managed to read Massive by Julia Bell. I almost always get a book read between the trip over and back. The ferry trip over to Vancouver is about an hour and a half and aside from being famous for scenery and orcas sightings, it is perfect for reading. I try and make locally held meets, and am a timing official for the local high school meets. I always watch the Worlds, Commonwealth Games, and definitely the Olympic. Of course it helps that two of my daughters are track athletes, but even if they weren’t I’d love it. Yes, I am a closet, or not so closet track fan. Back from a trip to Vancouver where I went to watch a track meet.
