WildWildWest

#HeatOfJuly playing catch-up #BeWithYou “I rose and rubbed my limbs, slapped them awake, trying to ward off a rising hysteria. This is what it will be, every day, without him. I felt a wild-eyed tightness in my chest, like a scream. Every day, without him." [Song of Achilles] and can‘t wait to read WEST, which was gifted to me by the adorable @Jess #WildWildWest

Lonesome Dove (Anniversary) | Larry McMurtry

#wildwildwest #HeatOfJuly 1 of my favorite parts of western U.S. history pre-dates what some consider the history of the west.Californios!They were usually considered to be a Spanish speaking Catholics born in Alta California between 1769 & 1848.They had humongous land grants located in what is now California given by Spain which all fell apart with the gold rush & California being made a state.Many place names remain.Lonesome Dove?because its 👍.

@Cinfhen @BarbaraBB
Haven't read this one but it definitely looked like a good book TBR

BarbaraBB This must really be a classic #wilwildwesr story 6y

JaclynW This book is excellent!! It is the opposite of what I learned in school. Sadly. Thankfully my kids are learning the truth. 6y

GripLitGrl @JaclynW i definitely want to read this one. Sad how they were & continue to be treated. Nice to know the truth is getting out there more 6y

JaclynW @GripLitGrl So sad. Definitely read it someday. 6y

Six-Gun Snow White | Catherynne M. Valente

Someday, I‘m going to read this retelling of Snow White set in the #wildwildwest. Someday, when I get all the money. Someday, when I get a grip on my unruly tbr. Someday, sigh..

Ddzmini I know I keep adding books to my tbr on Litsy it‘s out of control and I buy books so often my husband thinks I‘m book crazy so I‘m trying to finish the books in the house before I get anymore it‘s just not working out 😖📚📚📚📖 6y

Kalalalatja @Liatrek @LibrarianRyan @BarbaraBB the eternal struggle of the bookworm 🙄😂📚 6y

Kalalalatja @Ddzmini I feel your pain! I was on a book buying ban for the first four months of the year until I got under 30 unread physical books. It was hard, but having a “goal” also motivated me a bit 👍 6y

The Whip: A Novel Inspired by the Story of Charley Parkhurst | Karen Kondazian

This was a Book Club choice about a woman in the #wildwildwest who disguised herself as a man and worked as a stage coach driver. Based on a true story. #heatofjuly

Cinfhen, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB This sounds like an amusing read! 6y

DivineDiana @BarbaraBB It is based on a true story,but I never thought of it as amusing. More like sad, desperate and unusual. (edited) 6y

BarbaraBB @DivineDiana O I must have interpreted it wrong, sorry! 6y

BarbaraBB I did now and you are definitely right! 😘 6y
