Smoky the Cowhorse | Will James
post image
Mehso-so

3✨ I was wondering while reading this if I‘ve already read it or if many horse stories are the same. The difference with “The Black Stallion” or other horse stories I‘ve read is this one follows Smoky as he grows, becomes a bronco in rodeos, and ages out of that. The ending is what really excited me for this horse. #Roll100 February

This was book 4 in the series &, somewhere along the way, I read this out of order - prior to my joining GR in 2013🤦🏻‍♀️ That being said, I couldn‘t properly enjoy the story. However, it did serve as a refresher & a reminder that I‘ve spent entirely too long away from the McKettrick family. 🥂to getting reacquainted with some of my favourite cowboys🤠💕

CoverToCoverGirl I loved the first three books in this series. 4w

Wounded: A Novel | Percival Everett

Pickpick

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! ❤️ 1mo
BarbaraBB @Christine Thank you 💕 1mo
Suet624 This sounds just up my alley. A horse trainer, a farm, animals, love. Come on, Percival! 1mo
BarbaraBB @Suet624 It‘s an oldie (2005) so I guess one of your libraries must have a copy waiting for you! 1mo
Suet624 Well, believe it or not, none of them have it. I just ordered a copy from Blackwells. 1mo

#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 😁 1mo
squirrelbrain I hope you like Bury Your Gays! 🤞 Well, I hope you like all of them - you know what I mean! 🤪 1mo

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 😞 2mo
Butterfinger I'm so sorry. It is all so sad. 2mo
Hooked_on_books I completely agree about PE. I‘ll read anything he writes. 2mo

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. 2mo
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. 2mo
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. 2mo
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. 2mo
Christine @AmyG @Butterfinger So heartbreaking and beyond overwhelming for those affected. 2mo
Christine @Hooked_on_books I feel lucky to have only read three of his so far! So much goodness to come. 2mo
Christine @ImperfectCJ Well said. So concerned about what the next few days will bring. 2mo
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. 2mo
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. 2mo
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. 😔 2mo

#AllergictoChunksters 2025

I don‘t have too many chunksters on my tbr but I pulled these 5 titles, titles I‘ve been most wanting to read, with 500 or more pages to be read this year. I hope to average one book a quarter. Wish me luck!

Tamra Lonesome Dove won‘t feel like a chunkster! ❤️ 2mo
Ruthiella Good luck! I second @Tamra . Lone Dove is amazing. 2mo
mrp27 @Tamra @Ruthiella Thank you! I‘ve been looking forward to Lonesome Dove for a long time. I‘ve heard nothing but good things about it. 2mo

julieclair Ooohhh… I need to add Lonesome Dove to my list, too. I have an unread copy that I‘ve owned for years. 2mo
sherrisilvera Read and LOVED top 2. Lonesome Dove is top 3 for me. I am not a rereader but will do this one some day. A Little Life needs the "right" frame of mind. It will stick with you forever. 2mo
sherrisilvera @Tamra i only read on weekends at half way through to make Lonesome Dove last longer😊 2mo
Tamra @sherrisilvera 👏🏾 perfect way to savor it! I will say the film isn‘t as fantastic as the book but it‘s definitely great and well worth watching. Super cast! 2mo
Leftcoastzen I absolutely love Garp! Lonesome Dove is one of the best I ever read ! I really need to get to A Little Life , I picked it up once , felt it was not the right time. Maybe this year ! 2mo

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Thoroughly enjoying this series! I love the main characters, the sidekick Teddy, the Golden Retriever men, all of it. Fun, spicy, and easy to read at this moment where my brain needs an easy win 🫶
