Paine in a Haiku! Haha. Looks like the author captured the essence well *and* managed it all in 265 pages. I'm going to add this to my list of biographies/ memoirs to read. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot about Paine's life that I did not know about, so I found this biography very interesting. :)
DeleteTwice Shy sounds like such a fun read. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought Twice Shy was a lot of fun. And such a cute ending. :)
DeleteOh, I love the Orphan X books, so I'll definitely look at Rains!
ReplyDeleteIt's good...just know it's not as good as any of the Orphan X books.
DeleteDang asteroid dust...you never know what's catching a ride to Earth. That one sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteAsteroid dust is never good! ;D And you definitely don't want to be around what's coming down in this book.
DeleteOoooh! The Rains...
ReplyDeleteThe two brothers in that one are great.
DeleteThe Paine biography sounds good & somebody else just read Twice Shy I saw, too, (but now I can't remember who) and it sounded like fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for Haiku reviews!
I'm glad you enjoy them; I always have fun writing them. But some do work out better than others. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Melody! Twice Shy was a lot of fun. :)
DeleteThe Rains sounds the best to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's good if you like to read about a world where everything is suddenly going very wrong. :)
DeleteI loved Twice Shy! It was quirky and cute. I bought the audio of the first Orphan X because it was on sale and I saw you liked it. Now I just need time to listen. :)
ReplyDeleteTwice Shy was quirky and fun, wasn't it? And Evan Smoak, the main character in Orphan X, is as likable as Peter Ash. I think you'll really like him.
DeleteForced to share a house is a fun trope! I will check this out.
ReplyDeleteThe two characters in Twice Shy are a lot of fun...they made me smile.
DeleteI always love your haiku reviews. So fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! :)
