Another book finished in the hammock this evening! This book‘s taken me a long time to read, partly because I haven‘t had much print reading time and partly because it wasn‘t that compelling. I enjoyed it but never felt I just had to keep reading. Ben Sippy is a dime novelist from Philadelphia who decides to actually see the Wild West he‘s written about. He befriends the boy who will become Billy the Kid and tells his version of the story.

Tamra I‘ve read several of his books and the only gem for me was Lonesome Dove. I even love the film. 😊 6mo
Daisey @Tamra I had pretty high hopes for this one because of how much I loved Lonesome Dove, but I think that one is a class of its own. 6mo
Tamra @Daisey a “classic” of American westerns. 😊 6mo

I‘m enjoying taco salad for supper and a few chapters of Anything for Billy in the backyard on this beautiful evening.

My new at school read, although I‘m pretty sure I‘ll soon be invested enough that I‘ll be taking this book back and forth. It starts out with three men meeting each other on a foggy mountain and deciding to travel together. It‘s a McMurtry novel I‘d never heard of until a former student recommended it to me.
