I wrote Marguerite Henry all the time as a kid and she always answered me. I still have her letters. It was her book, "Mustang: Wild Spirit of the West" that inspired me to adopt a Mustang as an adult and Brighty of the Grand Canyon inspired me to get a miniature donkey.

Reply to What obscure kids' novel stuck with you (literally) into adulthood? (Potential TW of child neglect) by DerpiestLilDhampir
Mustang: Wild Spirit of the West by Marguerite Henry is about the plight of America's wild horses. It led me to become an activist at around age 9 and I continue to pursue issues around Mustangs. I adopted a Mustang from the BLM about 15 years ago and she is a great little saddle horse. When I was a kid I used to write the author all the time and she always answered me; I still have her letters. I loved her other books as well, but this is the one that really stuck with me, although reading Brighty of the Grand Canyon to my kids led us to adopt a miniature donkey named, "The Reckless Peanut."

I use reading journals; there are several types available and I like to switch between them and use different ones when I finish up one. I like that they are organized into a biblography section, a rating section, a summary area - this makes it much easier for me to use them.

I live in a rural part of Colorado and in the winter it can be difficult or impossible to get out. So, in the summer I go to garage sales, estate sales, thrift shops and anywhere else I can find unused book (and puzzles.) I arrange the books in my library from most to least interesting and then read my way through it during the winter. I also use the Amazon wishlist app and a paper book journal.

Wild Blue Cats is a no-kill shelter. Thank you for caring for this cat!

I really liked it. The movie was also pretty good imho.

You may be able to get books for your grandma at Little Free Libraries, thrift stores, and garage sales. I guess this is the new, "black market."
