So, this morning I woke up and checked my GR feed. And, on a whim, I noticed that someone (Karen) had added this book to their to-reads list. Out of curiosity, I clicked through and read the blurb. It didn't amaze me, but I clicked on the preview anyway. Then I went to Amazon and purchased it. An...
Fans of The Saddle Club will love this ?horsey? adventure. With interesting characters and plenty of action this audio book has wide appeal ? not just for horse-lovers. Shelby is convinced her reliable but ugly pony, Blue, is holding her back at Pony Club. If only she had a beautiful horse, every...
The skirt was a bit short, but she supposed that was because her legs were longer than they had been when her mother bought it. She thought she really should iron it, but then her family would know some-thing was up because she had never ironed anything in her life. The only shoes her mother had ...

One of the muscular feed-shed rat-cats lay on a stack of hay bales licking its paws. The striped shadows on its fur made it look like a tiger. Shelby looked up at the blackboard, muttered, 'Two green chaff, one pellets, two stud mix,' and then slid the dipper into the chaff bin. Some of the agist...
She did do the dishes – well, most of them. She'd done the glasses and plates, but the pots and pans had food encrusted around the edges so she left them to soak for a little while, and when she came back someone had finished them off.
