Girls Got Game

A few weeks back Apryl, over at Women Like Sports, mentioned the 37th anniversary of Title IX. After reading this I tempted to talk about the lack of sports books featuring female characters but than I thought thats been done. Why, not try something new. I figured instead of talking about what's not out focus on what is, so I am on a little female athlete protagonist kick. I already had Boost by Kathy Mackel and Pretty Tough by Liz Tigelaar at the top of my reading pile. I am on a little female athlete protagonist kick. I never have a what's coming up next preview because I usually don't know this time I do. I figured I'd give everyone a heads up, so no ones wondering what's up with all the sports books

Books to be Reviewed.
Boost by Kathy Mackel
Pretty Tough by Liz Tigelaar
Throwing Like A Girl by Weezie Kerr Mackey
MadCat by Kathy Mackel
Tackling Dad by Elizabeth Levy
No Cream Puffs by Karen Day

The kick is strong, so I am open to all suggestions.
