I‘ve been on a Sandra Dallas kick these past couple of months, throughly enjoying her books about women on the prairie. I think she‘s a very underrated author so I will definitely be recommending her books to anyone interested in historical fiction based on life of pioneering women. I plan to read more of her works this year.

Wounded: A Novel | Percival Everett

pick

Percival Everett really is a must read.

Wounded is a modern western about John, a black horse trainer who lives with his uncle in Wyoming. He is tolerated but when a gay man is brutally murdered the atmosphere in town turns grimly. John cannot ignore it. In the mean time his life gets busy with guests on his farm, animals and love.
And all his characters are so fabulous again. I am saying it again: I love Everett!

Christine What a photo and great review! ❤️ 3w

BarbaraBB @Christine Thank you 💕 3w

Suet624 This sounds just up my alley. A horse trainer, a farm, animals, love. Come on, Percival! 3w

BarbaraBB @Suet624 It‘s an oldie (2005) so I guess one of your libraries must have a copy waiting for you! 3w

Suet624 Well, believe it or not, none of them have it. I just ordered a copy from Blackwells. 3w

Wounded: A Novel | Percival Everett

#WeeklyForecast 05/25

On this lazy Sunday I started The Family Experiment, John Marrs‘s most recent book. Next will be one from another author whose backlist I am making my way through. I came upon this cheap edition of this Percival Everett so had no choice but to buy it.
Bury Your Gays is another one from the #ToB25Longlist which is excellent this year.

TrishB Enjoy 😁 4w

Death in Yellowstone: Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park | Lee H. Whittlesey

I recently moved to a new town and decided to join a book group. This was their pick for January. It‘s interesting but very graphic definitely not a book I would‘ve picked up on my own but sometimes that‘s the best part of a book club is reading a book out of your comfort zone #JanuaryBookClub#Yellowstone

Wounded: A Novel | Percival Everett

Another gem found in a neighborhood #LittleFreeLibrary ! I‘d never even heard of this one, but if Everett writes it I will read it. Grateful today to be outside in the currently fresh air in San Diego, even as I‘m feeling so much sadness for our northern neighbors, including some good friends who lost family homes. 💔

AmyG Devastating 😞 1mo

Butterfinger I'm so sorry. It is all so sad. 1mo

Hooked_on_books I completely agree about PE. I‘ll read anything he writes. 1mo

ImperfectCJ I can relate to the simultaneous gratitude and sadness. Family back east keep asking if we're okay in San Diego, and when I say we are and that our college kid is safe at school so far, too, I feel it acutely, almost a guilt at feeling grateful to be safe (so far) when such destruction is happening only a couple of hours away. And of course knowing that our safety is contingent on something as capricious as wind patterns. 1mo

BkClubCare I found this book last year and because it was PE I took it home. Thought it was great. Our hearts go out to all with threats of 🔥- very sad in so many ways. 1mo

sarahbarnes I‘ve never heard of this one by him either - what a find! So terrifying what is happening. 💔 My daughter is just south of LA. 1mo

monalyisha I always have trouble remembering where Littens are and keeping in mind the little details that make up their lives. It‘s part of why I love #AuldLangSpine. It brings a particular person into focus. I‘m sorry that I‘m learning *now* that you‘re in California, that I didn‘t reach out sooner, and that the details that make up your life are actually quite big right now. Sending love. 💗 Hoping against hope for increased climate justice. 1mo

Christine @AmyG @Butterfinger So heartbreaking and beyond overwhelming for those affected. 1mo

Christine @Hooked_on_books I feel lucky to have only read three of his so far! So much goodness to come. 1mo

Christine @ImperfectCJ Well said. So concerned about what the next few days will bring. 1mo

Christine @BkClubCare How fun that you found this one too and even better that you enjoyed! And yes, so much sadness and the enduring uncertainty is so hard. 1mo

Christine @sarahbarnes Feels like an embarrassment of yet-to-be-discovered riches when it comes to Everett! And sending good wishes to your daughter, hope all are able to escape further disaster over the next few days. 1mo

Christine @monalyisha It's so hard to keep track of where everyone is (region or country! :)! And I love that perspective re: #AuldLangSpine ! So true. We're so far unaffected in San Diego, though inland areas have warnings re: this next round of winds that's arriving. And yes, climate justice is so needed. We are all at risk wherever we live. 😔 1mo
