Gridiron Girls: A Complete Guide to Understanding and Loving American Football by Bernadette Barbeau

Like many women, I didn’t grow up immersed in football culture. The complex terminology, intricate rules, and strategic nuances seemed as foreign to me as quantum physics. But as I raised three sons and two grandsons who lived and breathed the sport, I realized I had a choice: I could remain on the sidelines, nodding politely while understanding nothing, or I could take charge of my football education. I chose the latter, and what a transformative decision that turned out to be.

This book is the guide I wish I’d had when I started my football journey. It’s written for every woman who’s ever felt out of place during a Super Bowl party, confused by commentators’ jargon, or hesitant to join in spirited game-day discussions. Through these pages, we’ll break down everything from basic rules to advanced strategies, explore the game’s rich history, and celebrate women’s growing influence in football.
You’ll discover that understanding football isn’t just about knowing what a touchdown is (though we’ll certainly cover that!). It’s about appreciating the chess-like strategy behind each play, recognizing the athleticism and skill of the players, and connecting with the passion that makes this sport so beloved. Whether you’re a novice or looking to deepen your knowledge, this guide will help you build confidence in your football expertise.

So whether you’re here to understand your children’s passion, connect with football-loving friends and family, or satisfy your own curiosity about America’s most popular sport, you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll transform what seems like chaos on the field into an engaging, understandable, and enjoyable game.

Remember, every expert was once a beginner, and every touchdown celebration started with someone learning the basic rules. Let’s begin this journey together, one play at a time. After all, understanding football isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being passionate, curious, and willing to learn. Welcome to your personal guide to American football, where no question is too basic, and every ‘silly’ query is just another step toward becoming a confident fan.
Now, let’s tackle this game together, shall we?

All Our Yesterdays by Eleanor Wells

All Our Yesterdays (Velvet Records Book 1) by Eleanor Wells

It all started on the night of my high school graduation, back in 1999, when my best friend Maura shoved a camcorder towards my face. Our class of forty-seven milled about in the orchestra room, waiting for the approaching announcement that it was time to line up and head in. My dad had just left for the auditorium, ready to conduct the underclassmen who’d play us through the night.

“Marcy Lewis, you’re graduating! Have a comment?”

I blurted out the first thing to come to mind. “Happy Y2K!”

“What’s the thing you’re proudest of?” she asked. She took a step back to get a better shot, bumping into Georgia Hale.

“Pay attention,” Georgia snipped. She walked off to find her friends.?Maura rolled her eyes, pausing the video.

“Never have to see her again,” I said as soon as she was out of earshot.

“Good riddance,” Maura said under her breath. She focused the camera on me once more. “Let’s go from where we left off.” She restarted filming, mimicking the motion of a slate with her thumb and index finger.

“All four years?” I clarified.

“All four years,” she confirmed. “Pick one.”

“Playing Nora in A Doll’s House.” I rarely had the time to do school plays, but the past spring, I had. Not only was it a special show, but there was a part of me that had a feeling it would be my swan song to theater, at least for a while.

“Perfect.” Maura noticed her ex, Jack. She trailed after him with her camcorder in hand, asking him the same question. “What’s the thing you’re proudest of?”

The Sundering by Razi Garenbeli

The Sundering: A darkish and cozy fantasy (The Forgotten Story of Eden Book 1) by Razi Garenbeli

The Forgotten Story of Eden is darkish and cozy fantasy series where not all angels are angelic or have wings, but they’re right up with the latest in body piercings and tattoos—and clothing is more about ornamentation than modesty.

The Sundering is the first book in this series, with book two Disruption, to be released shortly.

What if your marriage was arranged… by fallen angels?
Ellijan thought she was just a normal girl—until an unexpected encounter and marriage proposal draws her into a royal life with a charming prince… and a dangerous truth. Behind the throne lies a secret pact with the Elbashaar, outcast angels who believe her children will save their dying race.

As hidden agendas unravel and human schemes collide with otherworldly forces, Ellijan must choose: accept the role laid out for her, or fight for a life—and identity—of her own.

This is a story of survival, betrayal, and quiet rebellion in the face of destiny.
If you enjoy slow-burn reveals, female-led stories, and a blend of myth, mystery, and emotional depth, The Sundering should be your next read.
