Cute romance story.

I'll try to This was a cute book that I think I would have liked better in physical form rather than audio, especially if it had illustrations in it. I'll try to get the other books in the series in physical form or eBook form from my library to test out my theory. I did like both the plot and the audiobook narrator for the book about a young girl who thinks she is bad luck and loves animals who finds a fantasy animal rescue agency and volunteers to help out. Probably a 3.5 rounded up for Goodreads.

It was a great, non-fiction read if you like horses. I loved that she "saved" him but I understand because of the bond. Really well done.

This was great. Such hard things that students go through but still very well done. This isn't anything I was thinking it would be before I started itThis was great. Such hard things that students go through but still very well done. This isn't anything I was thinking it would be before I started it because of the title. It is interesting to see a boy in this situation, usually I've read about girls with this. This is something I'll be purchasing for our library. I liked that it was set in Tucson as well since I can picture the landscape somewhat.

I did understand it, but didn't love how the adults handled this but I did like the book. The "la la la" and other coping mechanisms seem very realistic.

Already words that are unacceptable in todays age. Guess we'll see if I can continue with this book. Letters from a lady who traveled to her sister. TAlready words that are unacceptable in todays age. Guess we'll see if I can continue with this book. Letters from a lady who traveled to her sister. This was okay. It is hard to believe that people not only survived but traveled through some of our harshest terrain during some of our worst snow storms in the mountain. That doesn't usually happen even in this day and age with cars, etc. It was an interesting read.
