Please just step over Tabby-Cat. She was up all night, chasing a mouse that had nibbled on my beloved copy of Black Beauty. The mouse got away so she is still on guard.

Have you noticed when horse people meet, conversation is easy and friendships form quickly?

I envision my internet corner bookstore as a place for horse people to join with others. So, please, help yourself to a cup of coffee and a brownie, then join in one of the discussion groups if you like.

Don’t be shy. If your hobbies are horses and reading horse books, you are amongst friends here. Those are our hobbies, too.

Of course you’re welcome to wander the store and browse our selections of books. You will find horse books to entertain, educate, and enlighten you.

Just browsing for a quick read? We have essays for adults and short stories for younger readers to enjoy.

Yes, you are right. Computers sure have revolutionized the publishing world. With “Print on Demand” publishing, lots of great, new books aren’t on the shelf on the corner bookstore or neighborhood library. They’re on the web, waiting to be discovered. We would love to help you find just the right book.

We? We’re just a forum of my father, three daughters, friends and myself. We all love horses, and love to read.

So, do you have the time and inclination to seek out really special books? For many of my visitors, the answer is a resounding “NO.” Family and jobs keep most of us running from the time we get up in the morning until we lie down at night.

I agree, those few and valued spare moments we do have, we want to spend reading, not searching the web for a book. That is where “we” come in. The purpose of Sharon’s Corner Bookstore is to relieve you of the tedious searching. We read, review and recommend books, and offer links to authors’ websites to make your shopping experience simple.

Oh your daughter is having her seventh birthday next month? Check out the reviews for “Molly the Pony.” Its not only a charming story, it is true. I’ll bet she would treasure it.

You and your horse are on a Hero's Quest for enlightenment? Connie tells of her and Chasta's journey in "Beauty from Brokenness."

Let’s go out back and you can meet MacFin. Grab a bag of carrots out of the mini-fridge. Feed him a few and he will love you forever! We can talk horse books while he chews. What type of books are you looking for? Fiction? Non-fiction? Fantasy? Manuals? Youth? Child? Bedtime stories?

Sure we can help with that.

MacFin? Yes, he is a stout little stallion, isn’t he? He is United Kingdom Shetland. Tell me about your horse and yourself. The more I know about you the more I can match you with just the right book.
