Half Broke Horses for June


I think I mentioned this book when we met at Heather's place and I have decided to make it our official selection for June.  (Especially after seeing it at Costco for $9.99...great book to ask for as a Christmas gift!)  It's by Jeannette Walls, whose writing we enjoyed in The Glass Castle, (also $9.99 at Costco right now.)   She calls it a 'true life' story, (thanks James Frey,) but it is based on the life of her grandmother, a character who has stuck with me months after reading the book.  Half Broke Horses is  a quick read; organized in perfect little 'before bed' snippets.

I hope you enjoy it!  

(And no, it won't count as your biography if you read it before Marnie's book club gathering on Dec.13th!!!)

See you soon!
