Bitter, Sun Kissed is only good at the beach or in an apartment wrapped in faux fur if you 1) like horses 2) like romance novels or 3) have more patience than I do. My sister-in-law, a horse owner and horse lover really enjoyed it and said "it is worth the read as the information about horses was quite realistic and the romance was not at all sappy but complex." Okay, so buy it if you are a lover of equines and romance but not if you are like me, bored by horses (as well as allergic to them) and prefer non-fiction.

  1. How can you be bored by horses? Maybe you're bored by people who are gaga about horses?

    I was never particularly a horse person, although as a preteen I loved Marguerite Henry's horse books and was thrilled with riding horses even as I feared their awesome size and power. Then one day in the last period of time as an adult, I was in field checking out something -- don't remember what -- when two horses were suddenly breathing over my shoulder, curious as to what I was up to. Then I realized they are just like us.

  2. Hi Sissy,

    Sorry, didn't mean to diss horses or horse lovers, but I just never had any interest in them. I realize that many people do--and this book may be of interest to them!

  3. Thanks for the heads up! Sounds like I'll need to pass it on to my aunt or cousins.

  4. A horse galloping flat out will stop me in my tracks to watch everytime. Poetry in motion.

    Happy New Year everybody.

  5. I linked to your blog from Vox Day's writings.

    On your horse and romance novel--pausing to watch the wild horses roam the beaches of the Outer Banks on an annual trip are as close to that type of reading that I could take. Hopefully, your other books prove to be more entertaining.

    I just finished Michael Lewis' 2003 book entitled "Moneyball" and enjoyed it thoroughly. This may be the last book of choice for me for awhile, since I am returning to grad school in January.

    Happy New Year!
