Sorry for the late post, I had to have a wisdom tooth pulled today so I'm a little scatter brained. I hope everyone is enjoying Read an E-Book Week! K.P. Kincaid was kind enough to donate a copy of The Next Competitor for me to giveaway today! Unlike the previous three I've given away, this one is YA!
Summary:
It's the all-important Olympic season and eighteen-year-old American figure skater Alex Grady is discovering that there are many obstacles along the way on his quest to win a gold medal. For starters, he has to get through endless hours of practice under the watchful eye of his stern and slightly terrifying Russian coach. Then he has to contend with his all-American rival, Tanner Nielsen. Tanner has the talent, looks, poise and picture-perfect girlfriend that make him the ideal poster boy for United States figure skating. Alex has the talent and his looks aren't bad, but the filter between his brain and his mouth is missing, and he definitely doesn't have a girlfriend. He doesn't have a boyfriend either, although he finds himself thinking far too much about pairs skater Matt Savelli, which is ridiculous, since goody two-shoes Matt is totally not his type. Besides, Alex doesn't have time to worry about dating, not with the Olympics looming, right? Can he find a way to go for the gold and still remain true to himself?

Not entering this one, but I wanted to sympathize over your wisdom tooth. Ouch! Been there, done that.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Luckily I have some painkillers so it's not too bad. It's the not chewing on that side of the month that's bothering me.
ReplyDeleteI used it as an excuse to eat a lot of ice cream. :)
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea! I'm tasting some cookie dough ice cream! =D
ReplyDeleteI like fencing and speed skating.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon, Ralph! :)
I love fencing but I didn't know it was an Olympic sport!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the well wishes!
From the Winter Olympics I enjoy snowboarding. From the Summer Olympics my favorite is swimming.

The snowboarding this year was entertaining. It was interesting to see how easily some of the countries fell. Swimming is also one of my favorites. =)
ReplyDeleteI love the Winter Olympic sports the best - favorites are snowboarding and aerials.
ReplyDeleteI like watching snowboarding...I'm not too big an Olympics watcher but when I do it's usually that or cross country skiing.
