Wild Wild West Reviews for January, February, and March

It’s time for a link-up of reviews of western books for the Wild Wild West Challenge. It’s March already and I didn’t think to make link posts for January and February reviews. If you did read a western for the Wild Wild West 2018 Challenge in January or February, then you can link to your reviews below, along with any books you review in March. Going forward I’ll try to do better at providing linkups at the beginning of each month so you can link to your reviews as you write them.

And if you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, head on over to the Wild Wild West Challenge signup page and join us in reading one of America’s unique contributions to literature, the novel of the American west. The more books you read, the more cowboy/cowgirl accoutrements you earn.

I’ve earned a lasso by reading my first western of the year, a very fine story by William W. Johnstone called The Drifter. I also read a short story called “Buffalo Horns” from The Montanans anthology.

I’ve got nine more westerns on my list for this year, but I’m already looking ahead at next year, since the Kindle editions of several westerns have gone on sale lately. In fact, just Last Sunday I had the chance to pick up the Kindle edition of Ron Hansen’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford: A Novel for $2.99. Earlier in February I picked up Glory Riders and Mistakes Can Kill You by Louis L’Amour, and Hard Money by Luke Short. Each book was less than two dollars, so I couldn’t pass them up. That’s not helping me decrease the size of my TBR pile, but it is helping to assure another Wild West challenge next year.

As promised, here’s the linkup for any Wild Wild West reviews you’ve written since the beginning of the year, and for any you write in the month of March.
