To prepare for my first @viviankirkfield.bsky.social 50 Precious Words I read 16 Words by @lisaljrogers.bsky.social Highly recommend! A doc, poems, gardening. How Lisa wove 16 words into the story...brilliant! Intrigued? Must read. My attempt to describe would deprive you of a key takeaway.

I almost never read adult fiction, being a #kidlit kind of person, but I adored PONY CONFIDENTIAL by Christina Lynch. For me, it was all about the pony...❤️🐴 ❤️ ...brought me right back to my 1st riding lessons...& the longing for a pony. Readers up! #reading #BookSky
