This week I am spotlighting Pegasus by Danielle Steel. This will be my second book by this author, the first being Echoes, which I actually enjoyed more than I expected, although my bar was set incredibly low. I didn't really expect to come back to this author - just not my style - but a book club I'm in has selected this book for our next meeting. I have a sneaking suspicion that the white stallion named Pegasus will not be capable of flight. At least I have the Ringling Brothers Circus, if nothing more, to look forward to in this new novel.
"I met your little boy today, she said, when they stopped outside her door. "He's adorable."
"Yes, he is, thank you," Nick agreed warmly. "I think he met everyone on the ship today, including all the sailors. He's having fun."
"So am I," she said, looking wistfully at Nick. "I loved dancing with you tonight. I haven't been dancing in months."
I love the cover pic, but not a follower of DS
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of Shadowfax, the lord of all horses! :)
DeleteI haven't read Danielle Steel in a while, and her books are hit and miss for me. But this one looks enticing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “AFTER BIRTH”
Thanks for sharing. So far, I would say they seem a bit formulaic. It takes a while to get going, that's for sure.
DeleteI love the cover and I, like you, suspect there is not flying horses. ^_^ Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by fundinmental.
ReplyDeleteIt would throw me for a loop if there were! :)
DeleteSounds interesting. I hope you are enjoying it. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see - I've gone ahead and started in on it! :)
DeleteI remember discovering Danielle Steel when I was a teenager. I gobbled them up for quite awhile. Enjoy your reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I don't know if I'll be gobbling them up, but they are quick reads. :)
DeleteI've never read a Danielle Steel book, but I'm thinking maybe I should just so I can say I have.
ReplyDeleteYou can have some bragging rights. :)
DeleteA great author! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. I hope you have a great one!
DeleteGreat cover art and nice conversational snippets! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Those were the least spoiler-y I could do for that page. Have a good weekend.
DeleteI haven't read a Danielle Steel book in a long time but this sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if this is too soon of an assessment, but if you've read Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and enjoyed it you might like Pegasus. :)
DeleteIf he can run as fast and far as Shadowfax, he doesn't need wings. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post:)
That is a very good point! :D
DeleteI hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for visiting!
I have not read Danielle Steel in YEARS, but there's a horse on the cover! :D I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's such a beautiful horse, isn't it?!
