I came for the cleat content and was happy to find my latest post on the lit list! I haven't had cleats or played soccer in...decades?...but it shaped my early life (and was the subject of my graphic memoir) and I've been watching it a LOT, so I was curious! I'm so glad you got the cleats!

I love your graphic memoir about soccer and aspire to draw like you!!! It's just so cool to tell stories with pictures. Cleats good. Hoping I'm finally past the blister phase...

Yikes, though, I forgot about the blister phase!

I absolutely love all the stuff Sparknotes posts, except Jane Eyre is where we disagree lol. Because they really don’t like Rochester and I WOULD DIE FOR HIM.
