For the Group Bookshelf

[Clare]

If anyone knows a good book about horses *which they have read* please mention it here and I will get it onto the group Bookshelf.

I have added lots of books and I'm looking forward to your recommendations!
Please mention if this is a YA book or an adult book, fiction, non fiction, fantasy; I will categorise.

Authors, please do not self-promote.

[Clare]

I'll be putting some books by Mary Grant Bruce up, about life in Australia. Thanks for a recommendation.

A member has asked a great question, how to find the Promotions Folder.
Go to the top of the page in this Group, look on the right. You should see that you can click on Home or Discussions, among other options. They will both bring you to a list of folders and the most recent threads in each one. The Promotions Folder will appear about halfway down the page.
Authors may either add their post to Promote Anything, or start a new thread.
If you are typing in the box, you will have the option to add book / author on top of the box. You can add a link to a book or the book cover, which is also a link to the book. You can also choose to add a link to the author, but that won't be needed as readers can click on the photo beside the post.

Here's a good non-fiction story written for young people.

Spoken in Whispers: The Autobiography of a Horse Whisperer

This book will definitely give you a new/different outlook on horses and how we interact with them.

This sounds lovely, thank you for the rec! I'll add it to the shelf.
