Book review – “Thoroughbred Breeders: New Blood”, by Christine Meunier
I read Christine Meunier’s romance novel “Thoroughbred Breeders: New Blood”. The story unfolds in a large stud in Victoria, Australia.

Literature passages: The Black Beauty
Hi! Yesterday I found it a great idea to reward myself after a harsh semester -or, almost “after”, as I have to write one more essay plus my dissertation proposal- and read some classic equine literature. When I search for classic fiction, I check the Amazon Kindle store, where such books are often offered free of charge and you can read them on your portable device in any place you fancy. And here we go, I picked “Black Beauty”, downloaded it for free and read it in one night! Though it was afternoon when I started and morning when I finished. But well, it’s just me… I want to share…
