pickA belated ARC, this was an unexpected joy to read!
19-year-old Lara applies to enter a 1000 mile horse race, across #Mongolia on a whim, at the very last minute. Her energy & enthusiasm shine through, & her appreciation for how ridiculous the whole thing was made me laugh.
It‘s a quick, light read, sometimes overwritten, but I enjoyed her musings & admired her scatty determination. Plus, I‘ve come away with some Mongolian authors to investigate.
rockpools #ReadingAsia2021 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB I‘m also using this for #BBRC #TeenAngst #Newin2020/21 - she‘s a teen, being a little angsty at times! 3y
Librarybelle Oh! Finding new authors to explore is the best! 3y

rockpools @Librarybelle It really is! 3y
eraderneely I liked this a lot at the beginning, but once she‘s deep into the race and just relaying her thinking...I did NOT care for her musings, haha. 3y
rockpools @eraderneely That‘s fair enough! It‘s all a bit random and she comes across as being Very Very Young at times - I expect my enthusiasm for it would have warn off if it had been longer, but I smiled all the way through. 3y
rockpools @eraderneely Ha ha! Fair enough- I‘d probably have got tired of her random nonsense if it had gone on longer, but as it was she kept me smiling all the way through. 3y
LibrarianRyan Nice! 3y
