That opening is definitely an attention getter....I too am not one to get really excited about sports memoirs or memoirs in general, but there are a few from time to time that really speak to you, you know? Might I suggest....if you liked this one, perhaps you may like Double Take by Kevin Michael Connolly....there's a review at my site, but it's a rather interesting read as well.<br />Thanks for sharing about this one! I may have to check it out a little later in the coming year ....happy holidays!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-110025595773256502009-12-19T10:52:17.253-05:002009-12-19T10:52:17.253-05:00Beth F - Me too, but the book was still REALLY goo...Beth F - Me too, but the book was still REALLY good!Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-1965555312802008822009-12-19T08:37:27.310-05:002009-12-19T08:37:27.310-05:00I hate cold water -- yikes!

Sorry my...This book sounds great! I love memoirs.<br /><br />Sorry my post wasn't up earlier today (it's up now). I've been so busy (and away from the computer) that I didn't realize that it was Thursday. Which is ridiculous, because I did all of my other normal Thursday things today. This crazy holiday season has been so busy though, and I'm sure that's why I forgot. :) <br /><br />My past two days were packed with a doctor's appointment for my son, a Christmas concert, teaching flute lessons, and basketball practice, all while my husband was on the road. Thank goodness he's home now!Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-59882092643830006652009-12-17T19:40:15.608-05:002009-12-17T19:40:15.608-05:00Sounds good.
