How to participate: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading. Include the title and the author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you feel so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence. The link-up will be here at A Few More Pages every Friday.

I didn't do a Book Beginnings last week as I wasn't reading a book. I know, scandalous! This week is going better, though. This one is the new Paul Volponi and I've liked all the other books by him that I've read so I am looking forward to this one.

"Just because the game clock has stopped, don't' believe for a single second that the hearts of the ten basketball players on the court have quit pounding."

I like a book about sports, and I know that Volponi always has more than just sports in his books.
