I first heard of The Ring at theHappyNappy Bookseller's blog :)<br /><br />@Ah yuan-It's a good read and a welcome addition to the female athlete genre =)<br /><br />@Doret-I really liked Mardie too, but Kitty and Shireen were my favorites. I agree I liked the back story of the other boxers, but would have liked to learn more about Kitty! Thanks for telling me about the novel being nominated for ALA Rainbow Project. That's very cool and I congratulate the author! This book doesn't apply to the challenge but I'm glad I read it :DMissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-26510638627684588712009-12-26T22:16:05.789-06:002009-12-26T22:16:05.789-06:00Ari, glad you enjoyed it.

The poc also had some back story. <br /><br />Ari, I know that the challenge that dear not speak its name, doesn't start until Jan. but this novel was nominated for the American Library Association's Rainbow Project.Dorethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676911030014718403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-61295312996610227032009-12-24T19:20:13.756-06:002009-12-24T19:20:13.756-06:00Oh I first heard of this from TheHappyNappyBooksel...Oh I first heard of this from TheHappyNappyBookseller's blog. =D I loooooove the quote she picks out for it and it's great to see more positive responses for this book.
