White Stallion of Lipizza | Marguerite Henry

pick

Who knew that adored author Marguerite Henry spent her last 2 decades writing and relaxing in Rancho Santa Fe, a community known for its horse ranches & riding trails—and happens to be in my neighborhood! So off I went to the Historical Society where Henry‘s photo is featured on their wall among RSF‘s most famous residents including Bing Crosby & Howard Hughes! Will be reading this Henry bio next by Susan Friedland.

I thought I had read all of M. Henry, but this was new to me. Hans was precious. Maestoso Borina was a stinker - the way he taught Hans how to ride. What a fabulous pair. #ChildrensClassicRead2025 @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie I‘m so glad you liked it! I‘m reading it slowly with my grandson! (edited) 1w

The Radetzky March | Joseph Roth

pick

Hello, Litsy bookish people! This is my first post and it‘s about a brilliant novel imo that I finished last night: Radetzky March by Josep Roth, here shown in my Dutch translation copy. About the dying Habsburg empire, told through the eyes of a father and his son, a reluctant military man, the threat of oncoming war looming constantly. About loss of innocence, withholding emotions and the passage of time.

Tells the (fictionalized) story of famous actress Hedy Lamarr, highlighting her abusive marriage to an arms dealer during the dawn of WWII and her lesser known inventions which led to things like WiFi! Quite a life. I do wish there was more substance in the second half after she flees Austria. It felt rushed and I wanted to learn more about her incredible mind. But overall a great read.

BUSY day yesterday but I made time to open my #LittleChristmasSwap just before bed. @CSeydel ~ I am thrilled with used books. I always add my books to my Little Free Library after reading them. The chocolates 🍫, though, won‘t be shared. @bookish_wookish Thank you for a great swap to cap my holidays!
