King of the Wind | 
A sampling of the many horse books that have been on my shelves seemingly forever. They first belonged to my uncle in his boyhood and he later passed them on to me. I went through a major horse phase as a girl and so loved these stories.

“The morning fog had lifted, giving way to a clear day.”
Not very exciting, I‘m afraid.

pickDo you know the feeling of intense satisfaction? After eating a huge meal, you emit a deep sigh of joy? That is what the story of the Sham and Agba does for me. I'm just incredibly happy and satisfied with such a great story.

pickAnother childhood favorite & Book 4 for #BookSpinBonanza!! I hadn't read this one in years, but was drawn right in to this story about Sham, the Godolphin Arabian & one of the founders of the Thoroughbred breed. While much of this story is somewhat legend-like as the facts have been lost in the mists of time, it's still a fun tale w/ gorgeous illustrations by Wesley Dennis. Bonus: I collected Breyer horses for years & still have Sham on my shelf!!
so-so#BuzzwordBookathon Book 1 ✔️
Horse Sham and stable boy Agba make a sweet pairing throughout this novel‘s journey. It‘s a classic, and I probably would have loved it more if I loved horses or had childhood nostalgia tied to it.
Still plenty of time to join #BookSpinBonanza - I won't draw the numbers until Saturday!!
Just a reminder - regular #BookSpin will still be happening, so if you aren't interested in trying to get through your whole stack, no worries!! I will be drawing #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin numbers as usual & only those two reads will count as entries for the end-of-the-year giveaway.
But for those of us crazy enough to try, May should be an exciting month!!
pickThis is one of those books that you just want to take long, deep breaths after reading just so you can try to soak in all the goodness of it 💙💙💙 What a beautiful story. I'm sure I'll read it again and again 🐎

My Teita and I love talking books. I‘m slowly making my way through her recommendations. I think I‘ll tackle King next. She‘s a former English teacher so I know she won‘t steer me wrong!
It‘s been years since I read this book, but I still remembered Agba‘s #loyalty #newhogwartsadventure
Usually I love used books because they are cheap, but last week I found some childhood favorites in the editions I originally read and had to have them.
pick#FunFridayPhoto I was a walking stereotype as a young girl and looooved books about horses. I discovered this book in the library in 5th grade (?) and loved it so much that my teacher bought me a copy. This is that copy. Not bad for a 24ish year old book!
