#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.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

One way out of a miserable life of pain, debt, and loneliness is a fairy tale—barflies like to hear one, hunters want to write one, and Tom and Polly drive the plot of their own as the Bonnie and Clyde of 1890s Montana. To Tom and Polly, pursuing a life of escape, beyond the usual conventions and logic, is a noble no-brainer, given that all stories and all roads, even the ones by a beautiful coastline, must end.

Streets of Laredo | Larry McMurtry

Streets of Laredo reminded me of McMurtry‘s exceptional writing skills. It‘s remarkable how he brings characters to life through his words. His vivid descriptions of the scenery and the way of life in the early 1890s effortlessly immersed me in the story. Despite its challenging nature, with its share of grief, hardship, and brutality, it‘s also a beautiful story.

Judas Priest, this novel is a tough read. This is McMurtry‘s debut novel and it is a bleak, realistic, coming-of-age tale. Life on a Texas cattle ranch isn‘t easy. There are hard lessons to learn at such a young age. Unfortunately, Hud (the biggest pile of walking excrement I‘ve ever had the misfortune of meeting on a page) teaches Lonnie every lesson the hard way. First in a trilogy.

Unbury Carol: A Novel | Josh Malerman

It‘s a slow burn of a book, but honestly. The ending made it worthwhile. I recommend. Although I will knock part of it and say. It needed less of Smoke. He‘s just a bad guy, to be a bad guy. Most of the book he just wastes time on in his own petty world. Made the book feel like a slug fest whenever his chapters would pop up.

Another excellent horror novel!

Red Rabbit follows a group of strange individuals, each unique in their own way, who get thrown together under even stranger circumstances.

I didn't think a horror western would be my thing, but I loved this one. I had no clue where it was headed, which is always high praise for a book.

This story is gory, full of supernatural aspects and lots of action. And Rabbit is a character I'll never forget.

Amazing! Audio narrator helped keep a big list of characters separate. Witches, ghosts, ghouls, cannibals, all set in late 19th century Kansas. A quest worth joining! Plus a love story and humorous twists. High recommend.

RavenclawOwlCat I loved this one! 2mo
