Finished these two this weekend!

Another book finished in the hammock this evening! This book‘s taken me a long time to read, partly because I haven‘t had much print reading time and partly because it wasn‘t that compelling. I enjoyed it but never felt I just had to keep reading. Ben Sippy is a dime novelist from Philadelphia who decides to actually see the Wild West he‘s written about. He befriends the boy who will become Billy the Kid and tells his version of the story.

Tamra I‘ve read several of his books and the only gem for me was Lonesome Dove. I even love the film. 😊 3w
Daisey @Tamra I had pretty high hopes for this one because of how much I loved Lonesome Dove, but I think that one is a class of its own. 3w
Tamra @Daisey a “classic” of American westerns. 😊 3w

I love this author so I just bought this book based on that fact and it's the 1st in a series. Now I have opened it for May #bookspin and see there are no chapters, tiny type, filled top to bottom of page with very few breaks. May take a minute😁

I did the audiobook on this one. I liked the narrator. He changed his face with the characters that are included in the book. That being said, I didn't enjoy this one as much as O'Reilly's other books.

It's more off short biographies on the Wild West Characters he included. The usual suspects as Billy the Kid, Doc Holliday, Jesse James, Annie Oakley, etc. I did like the fact he included Bass Reeves. You usually don't read about the ⬇️

Monica5 first black wild West man. The Lone Ranger is supposedly based on Reeves' life. I also learned that Annie Oakley wanted to lead a group of women in WWII.

This book was a pleasure to read. Sweet, clean, with faith underlying the actions of the MCs… And there were enough little things to figure out and twists in the plot to make the story hold my interest. It was a win for me. #inspirational #historical #Americanwest #cowboysandschoolmarms

I‘m enjoying taco salad for supper and a few chapters of Anything for Billy in the backyard on this beautiful evening.
