I finished the KC Davis book in February but it took till July to read Kilrone.

Graywacke Who can possibly not fall in love with Lonesome Dove, asks this perpetual skeptic? ☺️ 5d
BookmarkTavern That looks wonderful! Thanks for posting! 5d

uncommonlycozies This is one I think everyone should read 🫶 4d
Blueberry @uncommonlycozies I have seen that one recommended so much. The foreword is written by Harold Kushner who I have read a lot of. 3d

Mustang Man | Louis L'Amour

I usually love the Sackett family novels by L'Amour. This one, though, didn't do it for me. I rated this a 2.5 across multiple platforms but rounded up for the graphic.

I've got one more by L'Amour in my pressing pile but now I don't know. I'll give it a shot. If it's a mediocre as this one, I may just circle back to it at a later date.

Shout out to Moffat Library, Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, TX for the copy of the book from ILL!

True Grit | Charles Portis

Finally made my way to this classic because a friend wanted to watch the John Wayne adaptation (it couldn't hold a candle to this novel, if you were wondering). The dialogue is every bit as delightful as you've always heard and Donna Tartt's narration is phenomenal. A book I could revel in but it was so engrossing I ended up finishing it in a day. Here's to the rereads to come!

marleed I have this book on my shelves - someday I‘ll get there! 2w
everlocalwest @marleed honestly the audio was so good - if you're a listener at all, I say go for it! 2w
marleed @everlocalwest Ohhh, maybe I‘ll do it in stereo with both audio and physical- I love that experience! 2w

The Sisters Brothers | Patrick DeWitt

Bailedbailed

The Sisters Brothers is marketed as a dark comedy Western. Dark comedies are one of my fav sub genres. However, I could not for the life of me find the humor. The writing style was very simple and straightforward musings from Eli Sisters (who I found naive and annoying). The plot felt repetitive following their journey and I did not like the callous violence. A scene with a child was when I decided it just wasn‘t my cup of tea.

LitStephanie I thought the movie was hilarious. I will stick with that version! 3w
RosePressedPages @LitStephanie I will have to give the movie a try! Maybe the movie will do a better job of conveying the humor for me :) 3w

It has been a while since I have read a Western novel. I loved it, the characters were believable. l loved the plot of the book also. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

#Read2025 #AuthorAMonth2025

Finished today for #AuthorAMonth May. I loved James & wanted to read more Everett & ended up with this one because it was available from my library. I don‘t read a lot of Westerns it‘s just not a genre I gravitate to, but Everett drew me in with his sly wit & dark humor that had me laughing while also wincing at the racism & ignorance of the MC, Curt Marder & other characters in the book. I did not love the ending.
