Some of you will remember how much I enjoyed the Dairy Queen trilogy about DJ Schwenk, a Wisconsin girl who finds herself playing on the football team at her high school. I highly recommend this series, for fans of YA whether or not they like sports. Front and Center was one of my Best Reads of 2009, although it didn't end exactly the way I wanted it to.
Even before I was the football manager of the Harvard team, I enjoyed football related fiction.
Catherine Gilbert Murdock has a new book coming this fall, a fantasy called Wisdom’s Kiss. If you are interested (and I know I have introduced a lot of friends to these books), the author is hosting an online chat on Tuesday, September 20th at 8 pm. Visit the author’s Facebook page for more information.
I wonder if you have watched the television show Friday Night Lights? Wendy convinced me to try it. Matthew and I are now devoted. Three seasons down and we're looking forward to the remaining two. Compelling football stories.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the book and am such a fan of Kyle Chandler I know I will enjoy the show but missed the first season and have not yet had time to catch up. I do own it, so hope to do so soon.
