Pat

Pat has worked at Bookworks for 2 1/2 years, finally reaching a goal she has had for so long, to work in a bookstore that she can walk to. Her other job is being a potter and Asian brushwork painter. Her favorite author at the moment is David Benioff, although this can change from week to week as she tries to keep up with what is new. Margaret Atwood is a life-long favorite, as is Cormac McCarthy, E Annie Proulx, and a recent discovery, Haruki Murakami. Bookworks feeds her addiction for the printed word and pulls her out of the studio so she can practice her rusty social skills with people who love to read.

Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel (Hardcover)

By Jeannette Walls
$26.00

This is a marvelous tribute to Jeannette Walls' unforgettable grandmother, Lily Casey Smith. Written as a true-life novel, Lily was born in West Texas in 1901 and lived a tough, rough life with her own brand of grace. She didn't like nonsense, prejudice, or whining but she had a great sense of humor along with her practical, hardworking nature. This is a stunning account of the times and most especially the indomitable Lily - a woman you won't soon forget. This is a book you won't want to miss!
