Horse: A Novel | Geraldine Brooks

I only like the idea of horses in real life, but this Horse and the other characters, particularly Theo and Jarret, tugged at my heartstrings and brought tears to my eyes. Who knew the story of a horse (Lexington) would have such an impact on me? This is a story about horse racing and race in America, and it is extremely well done. The book is both sad and triumphant in turns, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tale. 🐎🎧

Making the most of the daily commutes!

This was such a delightful read, had no idea this was based on a real horse until the very end!

H for A to Z challenge!

I‘m participating in a readathon that required a book involving a sport. This has been on my tbr for a bit so I decided to get it off my list. Very well researched and dramatically told.

Tamra I really enjoyed this one! I didn‘t realize until after I had read it long it takes her to research & write due to chronic illness. 6mo

Littens—I finally finished Horse!! After picking it for my church book club a few mths ago, I read about half, skimmed ahead a bit, & let my mom read it because our library didn‘t have enough copies.
I really enjoyed this story, esp since I live near Lexington, Ky. I learned new things about horse racing & the horse, Lexington. My book club have all been interested in learning more & need to go see the museum soon. #doublespin for October

Scochrane26 I got my mom to buy the NF book about Lexington for me for Christmas. 6mo

I enjoyed learning what this book has to teach, I had no previously knowledge of this subject at all! I‘m looking forward to reading more of this author.
