#WonderousWednesday @Eggs

1. I had two dogs growing up. Both my dad brought home for me. The first was a shaggy mixed breed that the previous owner moved and couldn't keep. I had him from around 4 years till he passed when I was 10. Then a shepherd mix , another rehome, that lived until my sophomore year in college. As an adult 7 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 1 cat. Also, had a pony when I was young, and 5 horses throughout my life.

TheSpineView 2. Tagged. 3. I mostly read fiction about animals but love a good animal story regardless if it is fiction or nonfiction. Play? @Cupcake12 @PageShifter @Laughterhp @DebinHawaii @kelli7990 9h

Very hooked into the historical perspective of an enslaved boy who trains a horse from birth in pre-civil war Kentucky.

I never read this when I was young, but my kids are definitely in a horse phase, and so it was a perfect classic to read together. Based on the true story of the ponies who survived a shipwreck and lived on an island off the coast of Virginia, the main plot is about a brother and sister who work hard to try to earn enough money to buy one of the ponies. We loved it, and were completely caught up in the adventure of Misty and her wild mom, Phantom.

MaGoose I've never read the book, either. But I've seen the horses, IRL. Amazing. 2w
AvidReader25 @MaGoose You‘ll have to read it now! 2d

Novella about an Icelandic trader who travels to Mongolia in the 8th century and returns with a herd of horses led by a white mare.

A fascinating story and great fun exploring the people and places referred to.

Horse: A Novel | Geraldine Brooks

An amazing story written with absolute finesse, this book was The Complete Package. That is, the kind you can disappear into, totally, utterly, blissfully. Based on real events, Brooks has fleshed out characters to create a compelling story that is fascinating & memorable. The relationships here are exquisite, the author's engagement with slavery/racism is powerful, the structure is just right & the ending .... be ready.

Suet624 It‘s amazing to me that she was writing this book before, during, and after her husband‘s death. 1mo

Slow going. Short, choppy sentences. And something of insta-lust (3 chapters in) *sigh*

humouress Ch 4 :
Mere proximity to him was enough to set her stomach fluttering. To make her insides quiver and quake.

She had felt just the same when he‘d approached her at Lady Arundell‘s ball. At the time, she‘d mistaken the sensation for fear.

But it wasn‘t fear. She realized that now, much to her chagrin. It was something else. Something worse.

It was attraction.

humouress
Despite all she knew of him—despite the warnings of her friends, and of her own mind and conscience—her body was disposed to like the man.

More than like.

She wondered if he felt it, too; this low thrum of physical awareness.
