Alice Coachman (November 9, 1923 – July 14, 2014), a track and field star, made history at the 1948 Olympic Games in London becoming the first black woman to win an Olympic medal.

Coachman was born and raised in the heart of the segregated south in Albany, Georgia where she was often denied the opportunity to train and compete in organized sports. Instead, she trained on her own, running barefoot in the fields and on dirt roads using old equipment to create hurdles to improve her high jump. After demonstrating her skills on the track at Madison High School, Tuskegee Institute offered 16-year-old Coachman a scholarship to attend its high school in 1939. She competed on and against all-black teams throughout the segregated south.

Over the next several years, Coachman dominated Amateur Athlete Union (AAU) competitions. By 1946, the same year she enrolled at Albany State College, she amassed ten consecutive national titles in the high jump. Coachman also won the 50-meter outdoor title every year from 1943 to 1947 and held a total of 25 national titles.

While at peak athletic form, World War II forced the cancellation of the Olympic Games in both 1940 and 1944.

In 1948, Coachman was finally able to show the world her talent in London as a member of the Olympic team. She leapt to a record-breaking height of 5 feet, 6 1/8 inches in the high jump to become the first black woman to win an Olympic gold medal.

Following the Olympic Games, Coachman returned to a segregated south. At an event in her honor, blacks and whites were seated separately. The mayor sat on the stage with her, but would not shake her hand.

Coachman was a pioneer and paved the way for female African-American Olympic track stars like Wilma Rudolph, Florence Griffith Joyner and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. “If I had gone to the Games and failed, there wouldn’t be anyone to follow in my footsteps,” she said. “It encouraged the rest of the women to work harder and fight harder.”

Alice Coachman died at the age of 90.

An incredibly soft and relaxed unisex pullover that lends itself to everyday wear. Spun from a plush poly-cotton blend, this style features a modern fit with a hood.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

A good read
Format: Kindle
A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.

amazing
Format: Kindle
Knot the Bride was a fantastic read! The characters were all amazing and well-developed. It was easy to like them all. Sophia, Luca, Nick, and Gavin were all perfect for each other. It was such a charming story that had me hooked the entire time. I did wish there were POVs from Luca, Nick, and Gavin but it was still an amazing book without it. I am excited to read the next book in the Willowside Omegaverse series! This is definitely a must-read for fans of omegaverse romance!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
