Misty of Chincoteague (Anniversary) | Marguerite Henry

pick

I never read this when I was young, but my kids are definitely in a horse phase, and so it was a perfect classic to read together. Based on the true story of the ponies who survived a shipwreck and lived on an island off the coast of Virginia, the main plot is about a brother and sister who work hard to try to earn enough money to buy one of the ponies. We loved it, and were completely caught up in the adventure of Misty and her wild mom, Phantom.

MaGoose I've never read the book, either. But I've seen the horses, IRL. Amazing. 6d

Novella about an Icelandic trader who travels to Mongolia in the 8th century and returns with a herd of horses led by a white mare.

A fascinating story and great fun exploring the people and places referred to.

Horse: A Novel | Geraldine Brooks

pick

An amazing story written with absolute finesse, this book was The Complete Package. That is, the kind you can disappear into, totally, utterly, blissfully. Based on real events, Brooks has fleshed out characters to create a compelling story that is fascinating & memorable. The relationships here are exquisite, the author's engagement with slavery/racism is powerful, the structure is just right & the ending .... be ready.

Suet624 It‘s amazing to me that she was writing this book before, during, and after her husband‘s death. 1mo

The Belle of Belgrave Square | Mimi Matthews

Slow going. Short, choppy sentences. And something of insta-lust (3 chapters in) *sigh*

⭐ ⭐ ⭐

humouress Ch 4 :
Mere proximity to him was enough to set her stomach fluttering. To make her insides quiver and quake.

She had felt just the same when he‘d approached her at Lady Arundell‘s ball. At the time, she‘d mistaken the sensation for fear.

But it wasn‘t fear. She realized that now, much to her chagrin. It was something else. Something worse.

It was attraction.

humouress ⬇
Despite all she knew of him—despite the warnings of her friends, and of her own mind and conscience—her body was disposed to like the man.

More than like.

She wondered if he felt it, too; this low thrum of physical awareness. (edited) 1mo

Polo | Jilly Cooper

so-so

I feel bad about this rating, because Jilly Cooper is a bit of a National Treasure, particularly so in Gloucestershire, the county she and I both live in. This third instalment in her Rutshire Chronicles is, on the whole, a good book: though it‘s bold and brash, at its heart is romance and true love. But I can‘t ignore the domestic violence and animal cruelty in it 😩

Book 20/60, Page 5,930/18,000 #Read2025

White Stallion of Lipizza | Marguerite Henry

It was wonderful re- visiting a favorite childhood author. I have saved a couple of her books- oh my, could they be 50 years old?!. ( Stormy still has the cover paper!)
Sadly, I can‘t find my Misty of Chincoteague.
Thanks @TheBookHippie for a walk down memory lane. Now to start March‘s book! #ChildrensClassicRead2025

TheBookgeekFrau Thank you for the blast from the past memories! Between me and my best friend the Misty, and Stormy books were on constant rotation in and out of the school library ☺️ 1mo

tpixie @TheBookgeekFrau yes! Such sweet stories!! I‘ve always wanted to go to Chincoteague! As a child I wanted to go, but I didn‘t want my heart to be broken that my parents wouldn‘t buy me a pony. As an adult, I was afraid to go with my children and say no to them! ( and myself! ) 1mo
