Dear Bookers:

My mom used to send me to my room, well okay . . . I was grounded THEN sent to my room, when I was out of line. (I think she would like to do the same sometimes now.  (HEE HEE)   At this moment, it is the eleventh hour on the newsletter . . . I have been what is known as a slacker . . . I believe Peggy would like to send me to my room. Being grounded was a significant part of my youth . . . but we won't go there. Suffice it to say, however, I have a great love of reading which was developed immensely during these extended periods of "time out" so generously given by my parents. They introduced me and my siblings to books early on, so I had a real taste of what the written word had to offer.  You give me the time to delve into its world and I am a kid in a candy store with an endless budget! So, I say to Peggy . . . . bring it on, I could really use the break!!  HEE HEE

 What an abundant amount of "grey matter" is there for the taking . . . just by picking up a few dead trees or some cotton fiber and looking at a bunch of pigment formed into some very specific shapes. Voilà, you have all kinds of adventure, travel, learning opportunities, mystique, suspense and . . . perspectives. Good example . . . the great expansion to our perspective, understanding and compassion of the time period of slavery that was so deftly delivered by Faun Chidester at our June Book Club. We all left in awe of the people and their experiences as Faun captured our attention with her review of "Am I Not a Man?" The Dred Scott Story.  Many thanks, Faun, for bringing these souls and their struggles into our consciousness and making us better people for it. A great discussion, with a great bunch of friends! We not only learn about the impact of people on our lives, be we also get to spread our wings occasionally to the animal kingdom. We have had a few encounters with this part of our existence. Talk about variations in behavior and the wide spectrum of lessons to be learned from this species! Think of them . . . remember the Crow in The Golden Verses and its sequel ??  How about the Snake in the HarryPotter series? What of our adventurous ride with The Black Stallion, and who could forget our encounter with the world of horse racing when we were captivated with the sport's legend, Seabiscuit?!We have even made acquaintance with bees and learned about their "secret lives!" Are you with me here?? HEE HEE

  This next ride is going to be like none other . . .saddle up for a horrendous glass-shattering, bonesplintering, ligament-lynching meeting with a megaton truck . . . and that's only in the first 25 pages!!  Seriously!! There will be NO dozing during this read!
  It is a gripping, intense tale of life-changing happenings for the characters we meet . . . Grace, her four-legged friend, Pilgrim, there's her dad, Robert, her mom, Annie and the one person who arrives to heal them all in mind, body and spirit . . .Tom Booker.
  Join us for a compelling August read . . . grab a few sugar cubes, maybe some oats and take on the challenge with "The HorseWhisperer" by Nicholas Evans. It is an engaging read that will be reviewed with her own soothing words and gentle touch as Heather Marshall takes us through this well-written novel as Tom works to rebuild all the lives that have been shattered by the accident, using his mystical skills with horses. We even get to take a magnificent journey exploring earth and massive sky of Rocky Mountain Montana. If you've never been there . . . you'll get a "big sky" introduction to it . . . especially if you decide to pick up the movie and see the visual rendition of the story. I must say, Montana is an amazing place of beauty. Meet you at the Booker Stables!
