Haiku Reviews...

 

Nothing Short of Wondrous by Regina Scott


Protecting Yellowstone
is his job, and her passion.
Teamwork leads to love.


Historical fiction .... 309 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(I also really enjoyed Scott's A Distance Too Grand.)





Hyenas by Michael Sellars


World gone mad. Humans
turned savage. Language lost. Can
Jay and friends survive?


Science Fiction/Dystopian .... 272 pages .... 3/5 stars.
(Not quite zombie apocalypse, but close!)





You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero


You can change your life.
Just believe in you. Then act.
Most of all: Love Yourself.


Self-Help/Nonfiction .... 244 pages ....4.5/5 stars.
(Lots of language, but some excellent advice.)




The Flip Side by James Bailey


Go. Stay. Right. Left.
For one year Josh decides it all
with the flip of a coin.


Contemporary romance .... 371 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(Humorous and fun...and set in England!)



Happy Reading!

    Hyenas is certainly new to me-must investigate that further...

      It's got an interesting take on the whole apocalyptic future thing. :)

    Flip Side sounds funny! Nothing Short of Wonderous sounds lovely. I love everything about National Parks. It's my goal to someday visit every one of them. Great reviews, Lark! :)

      There are so many National Parks I'd like to visit someday, too! America is a very beautiful place. :D

    I really want to read Nothing Short of Wondrous. I loved A Distance Too Grand. Anything about National Parks interests me. :)

      Me, too! And Nothing Short of Wondrous really gives you a good look into Yellowstone and it's history. :)

      I enjoyed both the historical aspect and the romance in that one. It's a light, fun read.

    I am always impressed by the range of genres you read! What would you say is your least read genre?

      Hmm...that's a bit tricky to say because I read a little bit of everything. But I don't read a lot of horror (though I do read it once in awhile). And I don't read too many memoirs either. So probably those two?

    I love your haiku reviews. The Flip Side is high on my list of books to read. I gave my MIL Nothing Short of Wondrous for Christmas and she enjoyed it. I need to read it yet myself!

    Flip Side sounds fun. Imagine leaving all your decisions to a toss of the coin.

      There are times when I'm tempted to do that in my own life; who knows, things might work out better that way. ;D
