• Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of Freda's Voice
• Post a link along with your post back to Freda's Voice

Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

My recent Amazon Vine pick - Spin by Catherine McKenzie - made it to the top of my review stack this week. This is a contemporary novel about a young woman who wants a job as a journalist bad enough to follow the latest star to rehab to get the dirt on her. It is really different than the kind of thing I usually read. There isn't a sparkly paranormal creature anywhere in sight.

Beginning: 

This is how I lose my dream job.

I'll have to agree that showing up late and drunk doesn't give the impression she would like to give.

Friday 56:

At the time of the last email (11:24 PM), Greer was clearly drunk.

This sounds like it could be entertaining in a very self-destructive kind of way.
