Last week I read The Hearts of Horses by Molly Gloss. It takes place in Oregon so I thought it would be the perfect choice for our trip…and it was. Very engaging horse story! Read if you like Black Beauty.

Weird Oregon: Your Travel Guide to Oregon's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets | Al Eufrasio, Jefferson Davis

#FunFacts #Oregon

Oregon lays claim to the deepest lake (Crater Lake), the shortest river (the D river), the deepest river gorge (Hell‘s Canyon) and the smallest park (Mill Ends Park). Portland is the home of the most breweries in the US (not surprising) and also the home of the most strip clubs in the nation (What!?!). We also have the most ghost towns, 1/4 of the nation‘s llamas and the hazelnut is our state nut. The only state to have one.

dabbe Very interesting, and it gives me an idea. We should all have a state NUT that's in our legislature. We can vote for him/her/them every year--kind of like giving out a Darwin award. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to election season. 🤣🤣🤣 1w

Deblovestoread @dabbe. Me, too but I have some prime candidates for the state Nut elections 😂 1w

RebelReader My grandparents lived in Oregon for years. I want to go back and visit because all I got to see was their house when we‘d visit. 😏 1w

Wizard for Hire | Obert Skye

Happy Tuesday everyone! Here are today's #Two4Tuesday questions. Everyone is welcome to play!

My answers:
🔹️Pluto from the classic cartoon. Also loved Tigger from Winnie the Pooh.
🔹️Wizard for Hire would make a great Disney movie, I think.

Want to play? @Eggs @EadieB @GatheringBooks @dabbe @Susanita @Read4life @MoonWitch94 @TheAromaofBooks @Klou @JessClark78 @Texreader and anyone else who wants to play

Susanita I‘ll have to give this some thought. 🤔 2w

The Hearts of Horses | Molly Gloss

If I could read 4 books this month, I would read:
💪🏻 The Mummy! by Jane Webb Loudon for my book club
🐴 tagged for a trip to Oregon
📚 The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson (finished yesterday), and Friends, Lovers, and the Big, Terrible, Thing by Matthew Perry for the Monthly Key Word GXO challenge

What should I read first?
#tbr #MarchTBR

Ruthiella I say read the first chapter of each and see which grabs you the most. Though my eyes gravitate to the chunkster! I would certainly pick that up first! 3w

PaperbackPirate I like your strategy @Ruthiella ! I started reading the chunkster since it‘s the only one with a deadline. 😂 3w

If you don‘t like a bit of magical realism you will hate this book. Personally I love a talking crow! This book is quiet different in the way it is written in very long sentences that list things and more things. At first I found it annoying but then I settled right into it. I loved the complete picture it creates of a small town and all its wonderfully complex inhabitants and the way they are all connected to nature and the environment.

Reggie Magical realism and talking crow, you had me. Stacked. (edited) 3w
