Diane, Just a quick thank you for bringing Indian Horse to our attention. I'd never heard of the author or the novel, but I picked it up based on your review. I just finished it and thought it was really well done.

I stuck in a short story--Pictures by Katherine Mansfield.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I listened to it read by Juliet Stevenson. She does a good job with the narration.
I stuck in a second short story. In my view it is not quite as good, but almost. Which you like best will depend on what you are looking for.My review of The Eyes by Edith Wharton follows here:

Aussie author Kate Morton has produced another back-and-forth through time novel, The Clockmaker's Daughter, that's bound to be popular.

So glad you enjoyed it, Tamara.
Hi! I want to share with you an amazing adventure book I've recently read. It's called Lights on the Sea and I know that probably will sound exaggerate, but I really think everybody should read this peculiar and inspirational story about an elderly couple trying to survive inside an adrift house.
I enjoyed Jane Austen at Home. Jan recommended it to me, and I can recommend it to others.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Hi! A few days ago, I finished All Who Go Do Not Return by Shulem Deen. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My little review for The One Who Got Away by Caroline Overington
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
These are two great kids' non-fiction books about their favourite subjects: dinosaurs and sharks! And full of the facts they love to stun grown-ups with. I included lots of screen shots so you can see what you're getting and what kids are learning. (Be honest - you are learning, too.)The real books come with kits to build skeletons - good fun, I bet.
