Keeper and Kid
Jimmy Keeper has a good life going for himself. In his mid-thirties, Keeper, veteran of an amiable divorce, has just purchased a little house with his live-in girlfriend Leah and is making ends meet pretty successfully in a no-pressure job helping his best friend run an antiques salvage business. He loves Leah, he loves his job, and he loves the circle of friends he plays poker with every week. But things change.

Sounds like a good read. And I love that cover picture!
ReplyDeleteLooks like another one for the wish list!
Great review. I thought this book was lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteSam, this is unrelated to your post, but I needed to thank you. I used the sources you quoted on bogus memoirs for this weeks copy. You can read it here...http://maggiereads.blogspot.com/2008/03/memory-troubles-copy.html I also thanked you in the article note after I realized I had slighted you.
ReplyDeletePlease forgive me, I do enjoy your blog friendship. Um, it's very helpful to me in a crunch time situation. :)
This sounds good! I love having something fun to throw in the mix!
ReplyDeleteMegan, I really enjoyed this one, possibly because it reminds me so much of the weekends I've had sole responsibility of one of my grandsons...they are now five and six years old and are a little easier to handle on my own. :-)
ReplyDeleteJeane, I think this one might make an interesting movie with an appeal to a wide audience. I wonder if it will happen...
ReplyDeleteMaggie, thanks for the link. Don't worry about "offending" by something like that. I think we all read so many blogs and print articles on book-related stuff that it's almost impossible to remember what triggered anything that we later write. I've had to credit "unknown source" a couple of times because I could never find the original article that I so vividly remembered in my mind...thought it was just me with that problem, so I'm glad to see that I'm not alone. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Jenclair. As usual, I was reading from a whole stack of books but I kept looking forward to some time to spend with "Keeper and Kid" rather than with some of the others in the stack.
