Horse - April CC Book Club Selection

I quite enjoyed it, my husband less so. (That was true of North and South as well.)

One of the reasons I’ve not gone to the trouble to set up library online stuff is that often the waitlist is as long or longer for that as real book. (The other reason is I think it would involve replacing my ancient, hand-me-down Kindle that works OK if hubby does the Amazon ordering from his newer Kindle).

Always amazed at the reading depth and breadth of your reading selections-

Currently reading and listening to these-

ā€œForeign correspondenceā€ - Geraldine Brooks autobiography mentioned up thread

ā€œI’m glad my mom died ā€œ
Jennette McCurdy library audiobook
( I know, I know the title is off putting but reviews quite good )

Happy Spring all-
And, congrats to @ignatius on 4th grandchild !

I read ā€œI’m Glad My Mom Diedā€ and thoroughly enjoyed it. She’s got quite a tale to tell.

Very cool after reading ā€œHorseā€as the April cc book club, a historical novel featuring Lexington.

Sad to read this – made me think of our discussion.

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed this book and picked it (my turn to lead) for my upcoming Zoom book club. The book club founder was excited as it’s been on her reading list. Others were also on board. But they also did comment about being surprised that there is still horse racing these days, mentioned the recent news.
