July Reading Wrap-up

Oh July, you sly bitch. Somehow, July convinced me to spend all of my money on stuff. New clothes. New books. New automatic espresso machine (no regrets!).

But I also read some books: 19, in fact.

Unfortunately, none of them were super great.

Rocky Start by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer

I'm so glad Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer are back! Even if the fruits of their labor as writing partners isn't always my cup of tea. Rocky Start was good, ok, sorta funny at times, but also really quippy. Like, even the characters' internal monologue had quips. Also, the pacing felt off, for a book about ex-spies in retirement. The transition between action and love scenes didn't always work. But I love love love that it featured an older heroine and hero (late 40s to early 50s, she's older) getting together and refusing to define the relationship beyond "this is what we want now." 4 reluctant stars. Honestly, it's a 3.5 star book.

You'd Look Better As A Ghost by Joanna Wallace

I picked this one up solely because it was from the POV of a woman serial killer. Noice. And mostly I enjoyed the plot, which was surprisingly twisty and suspenseful. The humor was rather dry and very British in that sense. And Claire, our serial killer, is an interesting character with a unique voice. But honestly, everything was just felt flat and I never really engaged. 4 stars for the mystery plotting but 3.5 for everything else.

So you watched #PaulTyson, saw Amanda Serrano vs Katie Taylor, and now you want to watch more women's boxing? Here's a quick guide!

I have been beating the drum of women's boxing for over a decade at this point, so I feel uniquely qualified to help people who might want to get deeper into their women's boxing bag. So here are a handful of fights to help you jump into the sport!

(I've kept it to recent examples because these fighters are still active)

Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 1 - April 30, 2022

I'm sure most people who saw Taylor-Serrano 2 on the undercard of the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul card did not get to see the first fight. And they should. The 2nd fight picked up right where the first one left off, with these two getting in the phonebooth and getting to work at a torrent pace. Absolutely fantastic fight. Worthy of the Fight of the Year honors it got from Sports Illustrated. Was lucky enough to be there in person and it is one of my favorite memories as a combat sports fan.

2. Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall - October 15, 2022

If there is any woman who has claim to the title of best ever outside of Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, it is the 'GWOAT' Claressa Shields. She is a 5 division champion who was also the undisputed champion at 154lbs. She's a two time Olympic gold medalist, winning her first one at the age of 16 year old. And through her pro and amateur career, only one woman had ever beat her (on the amateur circuit) - knockout artist Savannah Marshall. Marshall has a claim to being the biggest puncher women's boxing has ever seen and has a style unlike any ever seen in women's pro boxing. So a professional meeting between the two was always going to make for a fun clash.

3. Alycia Baumgardner vs Mikaela Mayer - October 15, 2022

Of the fights on the list, this is probably the least exciting but it carried significant weight and I still found it incredibly entertaining. Mayer is a former Olympian who was on her way to unifying all the belts at 130lbs to become undisputed champion. She had marched her way through the pros, earning a 17-0 record at the time and taking out former champions like Maïva Hamadouche, Erica Farias, and Jennifer Han. Alycia Baumgardner was not that. She was a pro boxer who was in the wilds, trying to cut her teeth at a time when no American promoter was investing in women's boxing. It wasn't until Matchroom (UK promotion) gave her a shot against a different super featherweight champion Terri Harper did Baumgardner finally breakthrough, knocking the champ out in an upset victory. That set these two on a collision course for unification

4. Gabriela Fundora vs Celeste Alaniz - November 2, 2024

This one is a little different. It was less a great, competitive fight than the ascension of the next great women's boxer. Gabriela Fundora comes from a boxing family. Her brother Sebastian is a world champion up at 154lbs. So her winning a world title at only 22 years old isn't too crazy. But fighting for the undisputed (all four belts) kind of is. Celeste Alaniz is a fellow young up and coming boxer who had just knocked off former two division champion and Olympic bronze medalist Marlen Esparza. The fight between these two was fun, while it lasted. Keep an eye out on the winner here. They're going places. Like the top of the P4P list.

5. Yesica Nery Plata vs Kim Clavel - January 13, 2023

Felt wrong not putting any Mexican boxers on this one so I'm going with the light flyweight champion, Yesica Nery Plata. At 30-2, Plata has built up an impressive run as a pro. She is the WBA and WBC light flyweight champion. Sadly, the fight I most want to see from her is a rematch with Kenia Enriquez and with Enriquez up a weight class, that ship has sailed. That said, would love to see her in there with a Yokasta Valle.

This book is everything!

Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer

This is my original copy of Agnes and the Hitman, from 2007. The pages are yellowing and getting a little brittle but I will keep it as long as I can because I love it so much.

It's everything that you want in a rom-com: shenanigans, hijinks, dead bodies, the mob, Southern Belles, hitmen, women who fight back (with cast iron pans!), fits of almost uncontrollable rage, mistaken identify, buried secrets, and looooveeeeee.

I enjoyed re-reading this book almost as much as reading it the first time. Some details I remembered, some were a surprise all over again. There are a lot of twists and turns, maybe a few I saw coming, but still fun all the same. And Agnes! What a character. Loyal, the center holding together her found family, exasperated-- even maybe at her wit's edge, dealing with a rage problem while also falling in love. She's so great.

5 stars.

Liz Danger has come home after fifteen years to deliver a giant teddy bear for her mother’s birthday (color: Guilt Red) when a cop with a great ass picks her up for speeding, fixes the missing lug nuts in her back wheel, pulls her out of a ditch, doesn’t give her a ticket, and helps her avoid her family. This is a man with real potential.

Vince Cooper picks up Liz for speeding and his life gets a lot more interesting. Then he picks her up again in the local bar the next night and realizes that “interesting” doesn’t begin to describe what’s going to happen to him with Liz in his life.

As Liz navigates her dysfunctional family, her flamboyant boss phoning in from Chicago, her still-interested ex, a dachshund with issues, a disaster of a wedding, assault, murder, and three hundred and ninety-three teddy bears, Vince shows up to get her through, even though he knows that the real peril for him in Burney is the one who came with her own warning label, Liz Danger.
