The problem is that as soon as I had read a chapter and called it a day, Alec grabbed the book from me and read ahead. The next night, he would then demand I read from where <B>he</B> left off, so that I had no idea what had happened in the interim, who these new characters were, etc. The upshot is that the entire series has been utterly spoiled for me. Oh, the trials of parenthood.Annette Lainghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621859944708955098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-48722784924658112172008-06-19T08:36:00.000-05:002008-06-19T08:36:00.000-05:00Yep, that's just the sort of book I would never wa...Yep, that's just the sort of book I would never walk into a bookstore and buy...thanks for the recommendation!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-68578878218327258542008-06-18T20:45:00.000-05:002008-06-18T20:45:00.000-05:00Leo loved Quarterback Power, a collection of short...Leo loved Quarterback Power, a collection of short biographies of famous quarterbacks including his favorite, Tom Brady.
