 Feature and Follow Friday.
Congratulations to the featured blogs:  Never Too Fond of Books and The Haunting of Orchid Forsythia

 Question of the day:

If you could choose one supernatural being/creature to really exists what would it be and why?


Answer: 
I'd like The Incredibles to really exist.  They are the good guys and have really "incredible" gifts. And, of course, I'd like to be Elasti-Girl, or have her gifts!

Book Beginnings on Friday

Book: Boy 21 by Matthew Quick, from the preface: "Sometimes I pretend that shooting hoops in my backyard is my earliest memory."

 Thoughts: I've only read the preface so far. What I know to this point: the boy's mother is gone, his grandfather lives with them, and the boy wants to please his father by being really good at basketball. I liked Matthew Quick's first book, Sorta like a Rock Star so I am looking forward to this one. I am hoping that it will be a book that attracts male readers, a hard audience to please.


Have a fun Friday!
