“in the valley of the devil” – local author – actually, a teacher in the area – the second book in his series – i can’t reveal any plot info, but i did read it this week – it’s coming out in july – it’s amazing when you know someone who’s written a book:)

“play on” – book about aging and its effects on performance – looked at the elite level but also had a great chapter at the end on making personal connections – sadly, one of those was not buying a $30,000 sleep suit:)

“soul of basketball” – great book on the 2010-2011 nba season – the author thought basketball made a transition that year – he supported his theory with great stories on the mavs, lebron, kobe – i enjoyed reading it before the all star game
