Misty of chincoteague 19475/11/2023 Again, no trauma or backstabbing like a surprising number of animal stories, including children's fiction. I love Henry's versatile narration and dependable, kind characters. It's a trauma-free, good horse story mostly told through incredibly self-sufficient-by today's culture-and amicable brother and sister, Misty at one point, and an omnipotent voice at the beginning for the origin story of the Chincoteague ponies. This book comes with more than nostalgia. As an adult I had flashbacks to what I assume was a movie for this book, which I had watched with my childhood best friend once upon a time. It had seemed like any other small town save for some geographical differences between coastal Virginia and my hometown in western Colorado. I could buy a box set, but first I must reread the copies available at the library and find out how much I enjoy them as an adult.Īs a kid I never realized the book was written and took place in the 40s. They, among my Animal Arc and The Saddle Club books, were meant to be stored and never given away because I knew I would love to reread them or in the off chance later in life I have relations with a kid that liked what I liked as a kid, I could share and bond with such a kid. Growing up I had a large collection of Marguerite Henry's horse books: Misty of Chincoteague Sea Star Stormy, Misty's Foal Black Gold Justin Morgan Had a Horse Twilight and others.

The darkest temptation by danielle lori5/10/2023 Mila leans more towards an annoying character than a heroine I want to root for. Overall, the story could have been a little better. It takes a little getting used to, but by the end I LOVED it, because there is nothing that pulls me out of a scene more than a woman trying to do a deep, sexy man’s voice. I absolutely love the dual narration throughout this entire book, not just the woman reading the woman’s chapters and the man reading the man’s chapters, but their voices intermingling and actually “acting” out the scenes together. Unfortunately, a Russian winter is the coldest of them all, and Mila soon learns the only way to escape intact is to do the impossible and thaw her captor’s heart. But it doesn’t take long for his caress to become a rough grasp muffling her screams. One with unexplained wealth, tattoos on his hands, and secrets in his eyes. She never expected to fall for a man on the way. Suffocated by the rules and unanswered questions, Mila does what she’s always wanted to. Not about her papa’s absences or his refusal to let her set foot in her birthplace - Russia. Having always done what is expected of her, Mila dresses the part, only dates college boys with exemplary backgrounds, and doesn’t ask questions. She refrained from telling her it would be literally while Mila ran for her life. Simply perfection!" (Charmaine Pauls, USA Today best-selling author)Ī fortune teller once told Mila she’d find a man who would take her breath away.
