I'm unlikely to make my GR target this year of 155 books read. However I'm hoping to equal 2024's 151. So there's a few slender books 📚 coming into play.

I loved so many things about this: irrepressible Selina, her pony named Haggis, the food descriptions, the Scottish setting, and a goose named Big Wullie! The basic plot: Selina befriends a crusty old farmer when her pony keeps “planting” himself in said farmer‘s turnip field.

Selina is kind of a misfit—both her mishaps & her soft heart for outsiders are endearing. The exploration of what it means to take care of others, even when you and they ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …are misunderstood, is full of complexity, depth, and heart. There were a few events where the resolution seemed too simplistic/glossed over, but even with that—this was like a warm hug. And I now really want some sausages and “champers” (“potato and cheese all mashed together and put in the oven”)!

This was my #1975 pick for #192025, and my second book completed for #10beforetheend @librarybelle @ChaoticMissAdventures

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) (I was debating between two possibilities for 1975, then turned them both down in favor of this one. Glad I did!)

@TheAromaofBooks Have you read this one? I think you might really like it!
