Cowboys Are My Weakness: Stories
Cowboys Are My Weakness: Stories | Pam Houston
8 posts | 19 read | 1 to read
"Exhilarating, like a swift ride through river rapids with a spunky, sexy gal handling the oars."Washington Post Book World In Pam Houston's critically acclaimed collection of strong, shrewd, and very funny stories, we meet smart women who are looking for the love of a good man, and men who are wild and hard to pin down. "I've always had this thing for cowboys, maybe because I was born in New Jersey, says the narrator in the collections title story. But a real cowboy is hard to find these days, even in the West. Our heroines are part daredevil, part philosopher, all acute observers of the nuances of modern romance. They go where their cowboys go, they meet cowboys who don't look the part and they have staunch friends who give them advice when the going gets rough. Cowboys Are My Weakness is a refreshing and realistic look at men and women together and apart.

I enjoyed this book. It‘s a collection of short stories so the fact that I took longer than usual to read it wasn‘t a problem. It had been on my TBR list for years so I‘m glad I read it, but I absolutely loved her book that will be published in early 2019. This one gets 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I look forward to more books from this author.

zuzia She is one of my favorite authors! 5y

Another of my current reads because Pam Houston books are my weakness.

Chrissyreadit I remember LOVING this book but it was 25 years ago. Maybe I need it on a reread pile. 6y
Tomigirl44 @Chrissyreadit I just read my first Pam Houston book, Deep Creek, which will be published Jan/Feb 2019 and loved it; a longtime friend (avid reader) mentioned how much she had enjoyed this one years ago so I picked it up - this one is good but I absolutely loved Deep Creek. 6y
Chrissyreadit @Tomigirl44 I will check it out! 6y

#30daysofreadathon #shortstories aren't really my thing but I've heard good things about both of these.
