Status Updates From Gone Outlaw

I HAVE NO WORDS. It was an incredible read! It was like reading the novel version of a classic western movie. I even pictured Dinah looking like a character from the John Wayne western "El Dorado". I 100% recommend this, and will do an official review later!

Yes I can't stop reading this book
Yes I'm an emotional wreck because of this book.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!! 💜💙

A cold, quiet city night.
City jazz music playing on the TV.
A dimly lit room.
The night owl of the house.
For a moment, the world stops as I finf myself in another time.
Where the west is wild and free,
And the air clean.
I ride a horse alongside the characters.
I am at one with them.
Am I the outlaw?
The hero?
Someone in between?
Guess we'll find out.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!

Enemies to lovers trope:

Captured by outlaws she wanted to hunt down and kill, Dinah slowly and reluctantly falls for Joseph, one of the gang’s leaders, and he with her. But the gang finds her to be an inconvenience and wants her dead. Joseph shoots one of them before the man shoots Dinah. To use an Old West expression, now the fat’s in the fire.

They killed her friend!

Forget control. Forget the consequences. Dinah’s simmering rage boiled over, and she grabbed the knife beside her plate. He'd meet his maker today.

She fung it at Sal’s head. The outlaw twisted to his left, and the knife flew past his face, The window behind him shattered, raining down glass with a tremendous crash.

Dinah's chest heaved as she stared at the jagged hole behind him.

Well, time to hang out with my Alberta cowgirls for a piece. Join us 🐎🫶🏼

Very enjoyable, well written, no complaints. My fave Western film is McCabe & Mrs Miller, and this ain't quite like that - more like The Searchers or something - but that's okay. I do feel like I might get back to reading more Westerns. I've read Monte Walsh and loved it, but I never did read Shane...

Okay, I've dived into the Thames, and Chapter One was a good start. Dinah and Cardinal should be a great team, although Dinah needs to get to a happier place. Clearly, if she does, it will be after some trial by fire...

I don’t know why I enjoy “Reaction Videos” so much…but, until I figure out the fascination and how to quell it, I just do. Thames has a pleasant enough way about her when she talks about films as they happen, so I thought I would check out her book. Right, so - Thames, you can consider watching one Western I love: McCabe & Mrs Miller is tops for me; or Johnny Guitar, or North to Alaska! Don’t ever have to, though.
