Aurora Blazing (Consortium Rebellion #2) by Jessie Mihalik
When her brother is kidnapped,
Bianca does whatever's necessary
to find and rescue him.
Space Opera/Adventure .... 381 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(Great sequel to Polaris Rising which was one of my favorite reads last year.)
The Butterfly Girl by Rene Denfeld
Though her sister's been
missing for years, Naomi refuses to
stop searching for her.
Mystery .... 261 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(I really liked Denfeld's previous novel, The Child Finder, which is also about Naomi and her search for a lost girl.)
The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe
Eight tattered books. That's all.
But to Dita and the other children
they are life...and freedom.
YA Historical Fiction .... 407 pages .... 3.5/5 stars.
(This well-written novel is based on the true story of Auschwitz survivor Dita Kraus.)
Happy Reading!
Love your haikus! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed Aurora Blazing. I've gotta find the time to start this series. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a fun one. Space opera at its best.
DeleteI want to read The Butterfly Girl. I think I already own the previous book, but I'm not read it yet. Always love your haikus!
ReplyDeleteI really liked both The Butterfly Girl and The Child Finder. Denfeld's writing is really amazing. :)
DeleteI liked Polaris rising a lot- glad to hear the sequel is good!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun one. Her third one comes out this spring.
DeleteNow 'that' is clever. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D
DeleteMore to contemplate!
ReplyDeleteThere's always more books! :D
DeleteAll sounds good and I'm definitely looking forward to reading Aurora Blazing since I enjoyed Polaris Rising. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'll really like Aurora Blazing; Ian and Bianca are great characters. :)
DeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThese all look good and I love your mini-reviews.
ReplyDeleteThanks. :D
DeleteI've had a copy of THE LIBRARIAN OF AUSCHWITZ since it came out, but I still haven't read it. I need to take a break from heavy novels, but one of these days, I'll get to it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one...whenever you get around to reading it. :D
DeleteI am totally stealing your idea. I have five grahic novels sitting here waiting to be reviewed and I want to take care of them quickly! Hope you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteSteal away! Can't wait to read your haiku reviews. :D
DeleteI haven't read any of those.
ReplyDeleteI think you might like Aurora Blazing. It's a fun romance in space. :)
DeleteBrilliantly done, Lark, as usual.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam! :D
DeleteOh, I always adore these! This time around The Butterfly Girl in particular sounds just like my cup of tea.
ReplyDelete:D Thanks. And happy reading!
DeleteI really enjoyed Aurora Blazing, too. I need to look up The Butterfly Girl and the previous book!
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like them. They're both really well-written.
DeleteI wish I could write Haikus, but I am not that creative!
ReplyDeleteSome of mine turn out better than others. And I hardly ever get the 5-7-5 count right. But I have fun writing them. :)
