Are you getting as tired as I am with all these questions? Well, I’ve just got one thing to say to you:

Hey, remember the Sam Elliott movie, Conagher? You should because it played on TNT about every other day in the early ’90s! This is the book that inspired that film about a lone soul drifter looking for something. And that something happens to be a widow with a couple kids…
Iām continuing my journey through The Chronic-WHAT?!-cles of Narnia in publication order. I know, I know. C.S. Lewis had a preferred reading order, but when I read a series for the first time, I like to read it in publication order. Leave me alone!
