"Half-Broke Horses" is one of my favorite books, so I was glad to see it high on your list. I've also read "Don't Sing at the Table," and I have "The Nightingale" but haven't read it yet. Now I can't wait to get started!<br /><br />I just finished reading "In the Unlikely Event" by Judy Blume. While the characters are fictional, it's based on news accounts and Judy's memories of growing up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in the 1950s, when three airplanes crashed in the city. I found it really interesting, so thought I might mention it. Keep on reading and sharing your thoughts with us!Shelley Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488453243236670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-15785297082422973562016-03-12T20:31:49.542-05:002016-03-12T20:31:49.542-05:00Thanks for the comment, Nicole.

I discovered the other two a day or so ago.

I was hoping our local library would have <i>A Penny and an Egg</i>, but no such luck. It sounds very interesting. Thanks for mentioning it. I think I'll ask the library to order it.

I am currently reading a kindle book called A Penny and an Egg: The Early Years of a Country Boy by WJH Holding. It is a memoir of a boy who grew up in Cornwall in England. Very interesting. I am hoping I can learn how to write history. Thanks for the suggestions.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.com
