72: Jeg giver dig mit ord

Jeg giver dig mit ord
af Annette Bjørg

104 sider
2016
bib.
god



Molly glæder sig til at få overstået 9. klasse. Hun tager sin håndbold seriøst, elsker sin familie men klassekammeraterne er sgu for mærkelige ind i mellem. Mone og Laura har bestemt sig for at være specielle. De klipper deres tøj i stykker, maler sig i ansigtet og læser Strunge. Drengene går mest op i at sidde foran en skærm og vil ikke rigtigt noget med deres liv. Atle holder sig for sig selv og siger aldrig noget. Da han finder på en helt speciel julegave til Molly, ved hun ikke rigtigt hvad hun synes om det.

Lix 17

  
Rigtig god og kort hverdagsberetning om livet som ung. Interessante personskildringer med flere forskellige typer. Et billede af en nok rimelig typisk klasse med håndboldpiger, de sjove, de anderledes, osv. og deres indbyrdes forhold. Den er skrevet i et letlæst sprog, men der er stadig plads til at lege med både form og ord

Miller:
When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep.Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can't have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers.That's not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there's nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.I need to stay away from him.

Talon:

Years ago, Miller and I made a pact that we'd win a Super Bowl together. When I'm offered a position on his team in Chicago, I don't hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that's a decade old.Only, now that I'm here, he's avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else, I'd cut my losses.But this is Shane Miller--the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I'd do anything for. The guy who's more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate.I'm not going to let him get away.

Ollie Word of advice: don't come out to random guys in public restrooms. Even if they're charming and adorably nerdy and offer to help.

My family believe I can't be happy if I'm not out to the world. I have a bitter ex-boyfriend and an unstable NHL career to show for it. A fake boyfriend seems like an easy and quick solution to get my family off my back, and this guy is volunteering. I take him up on it without asking his name.

I really should've asked for his name.

Word of advice: learn how to introduce yourself properly.

In my defense, I don't recognize Ollie Strömberg right away. I cover football, not hockey.

I'm not supposed to see him again, and he's never supposed to find out I'm a reporter.

That all changes when my editor reassigns me.

It's a lesson I should've learned by now. Nothing's changed since high school. Jocks still hate nerds. But even worse, athletes hate journalists. Especially ones who know their secret.

Matt:
Want to know the fastest way to get screwed out of a football career? Get photographed in a compromising position in a gay bar. Yep, welcome to my life.

My agent says he can fix my image. He wants me to become the poster boy for gay football players. Me? I just want back on the field. I'll do anything to play for the NFL again, even pretend to have a steady boyfriend. If only my fake boyfriend wasn't Noah Huntington III--the most arrogant, entitled rich guy in the world.

Noah:

Pretend to be Matt Jackson's boyfriend, my best friend said. It'll be fun, he said. What Damon neglected to mention is Matt is surly and bitter. Being his boyfriend is a job in itself. From his paranoia over being constantly photographed to his aversion to PDA, being with Matt isn't the care-free fake relationship I expected when I signed on to do this.

It's supposed to be a win-win. I get to stick it to my politician dad who thinks no one is good enough for the Huntington name, and Matt's reputation of being the bad boy of football dies.

What I don't expect is to start caring for the guy. That's not part of the plan. Then again, neither is fooling around with him.

30: The greatest game ever played

The greatest game ever played. Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet and the birth of modern golf
af Mark Frost

fantastisk


Vardon and Ouimet were two men from different generations and vastly different corners of the world whose lives, unbeknown to them at the time, bore remarkable similarities, setting them on parallel paths that led to their epic battle at Brookline in the 1913 US Open. This collision resulted in the 'big bang' that gave rise to the sport of golf as we know it. In THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED, Mark Frost tells their story, including along the way over a dozen of the game's seminal figures, within the dramatic framework offered by the 1913 tournament where they finally met, which became one of the most thrilling sports events in history


Forfatteren beskriver det hele så godt og med så megen indfølelse, at man bare bliver suget ind og bliver grebet af hele historien. Den bedste sportsbog jeg har læst. Jeg er ikke golfspiller, men bogen var virkelig god alligevel, da den grundlæggende bare fortæller en rigtig god historie og en god historie er for alle
