Playing with the Boys (A PrettyTOUGH Novel)

Playing with the Boys (A PrettyTOUGH Novel) Author Note: There’s something odd about this one. It seems like the paperback edition is listed as written by Liz Tigelaar (like this photo) but the Kindle edition has Nicole Leigh Shepherd. They’re the same book, I just don’t know which to list as the author.       [...]

Books and Boys: We all have “types”

A few days ago, after yet another Judith/Ellen books conversation, I realized something: I totally have a book “type”. Just like how I know that the tall, über-jock looking guy at the bar will be the one I go for (it’s a weakness!) there are some books that, no matter how bad they might be [...]

From What I Remember by Stacy Kramer and Valerie Thomas

From What I Remember, by Stacy Kramer and Valerie Thomas Publisher: Hyperion, 2012 Format: Kindle My very last Olympic review!!! And I’m actually doing this while I watch the Closing Ceremony so if this makes even less sense than my normal review I’m sorry but it’s not easy to sing, type, and keep an eye out for [...]

The Unofficial Zack Warren Fan Club by J.C. Isabella

The Unofficial Zack Warren Fan Club by J.C. Isabella Publisher: Self-Published  Format: Kindle, 2012 It’s my latest Olympic review!! Sorry I’m a little late on this one but let’s be honest, it’s a complete  miracle I’ve torn myself away from my constant viewing in order to read anything, let alone write a review. Better get this done [...]

Chasing Nikki by Lacey Weatherford

Chasing Nikki by Lacey Weatherford Publisher: Moonstruck Media (2012) Format: Kindle In the second edition of my Olympics-inspired sport reviews I’ve chosen a book that ended up completely shocking me. There are so many football books that I’m going to try to spread them out, this is just the first new one I stumbled upon. Plot: About 6 [...]

Megan Meade’s Guide to the McGowan Boys by Kate Brian

Megan Meade’s Guide to the McGowan Boys, by Kate Brian Publisher: Simon & Schuster (June 23, 2008) Format: Kindle In honor of my deep and abiding love of the Olympics I’ve decided that until they end I’m going to make one of my reviews each week about a book involving sports. Not necessarily sports that are in [...]

Cinderella in Cleats by Carly Syms

Cinderella in Cleats by Carly Syms Publisher: Self-Published (August 1, 2010) Format: Kindle Edition Remember how I said that I love books about girls who play sports so long as they’re even halfway decent? Well here is one of the few that show I can dislike a girl-sport book. And while I really don’t enjoy writing a [...]

Head Games: A PrettyTOUGH Novel by Keri Mikulski

Head Games by Keri Mikulski Publisher: Razorbill (January 6, 2011) Format: Kindle Edition Ooh, pretty cover but, wait, why is that girl sitting on a basketball?  Is this book about a girl basketball player? Another one? Didn’t I just read this book two weeks ago? I didn’t buy it again right because hubby is starting to [...]

Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally

Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally Publisher: Sourcebooks, Inc., 2011 Format: Kindle Edition If you’ve visited our intro page then you will have noticed that Judith claims we have “eerily similar opinions” about books. Well there is one area where we almost always disagree: books about sports. Specifically books about girls who play “boy” sports. I really enjoy [...]
