Friday!

First Line Friday:  How to participate: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments. Include the title and the author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you would like, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence. The link-up will be at A Few More Pages every Friday.
Almost Perfect by Brian Katcher

"I'm not sure what I loved most about being on the track team. Maybe it was the crippling shin splints. Or constantly feeling like I'd just smoked three packs of cigarettes. Maybe it was the empty stands at every meet, or the way the results get buried in the local sports section."

I can really appreciate how lop-sided so many school sports are in terms of attention and support.I'm not very far into the book but I can tell that most of the action has nothing to do with actual track...maybe more about running away or toward.

Follow Friday....a neat way to "meet" new book-blogging friends.  Share the love.  Take a look around.  If you like what you see, please follow, and I'll do likewise.  Will I make it to 200 +  this week?

This week's featured Blog is The Cait File.  Congratulations, Cait!

Question:  What is on my playlist right now?
For some bizarre reason I have been enjoying all the old rock-n-roll I didn't listen to when I was in college.  Current favorite:
Don't Look Back by Boston (notice the irony?)

"If you find a book you love, do you hunt down other books by the same author?"

I have been known to get excited about the new publication by my favorite authors but, on the other hand, I can read a fabulous book and then completely ignore other things written by that author.  Guess I'm flaky!
