Love the sound of Authentically, Izzy. Bookish references and humor sound excellent to me.
ReplyDeleteThey're bookish email conversations made me smile!
DeleteSame here, Authentically, Izzy sounds a charming bookish book!

And it means I don't have to write a long review! ;D
DeleteI always enjoy your haiku reviews.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary! I appreciate that. :D
DeleteLike everyone else, I'm a fan of your haiku reviews. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey're one of my favorite posts to write, so I'm glad you like them, too. :D
DeleteLark, I love these reviews!! I really enjoyed Authentically, Izzy as well :)
ReplyDeletePepper Basham writes a very fun romance. I love that her books always make me laugh out loud in places. :D
DeleteOh, I want to read that Catherine Cowles book! I've enjoyed her writing in the past. :)
ReplyDeleteWhispers of You is amazing! It made me want to run out and buy and read all of her other books. :D
DeleteI love your haikus, that's such a fun way to write a review - though I imagine very hard to do!
ReplyDeleteAuthentically Izzy sounds like my kind of thing, popping that one on a list, so thank you!
Some haikus are definitely harder to write than others; and some books just don't lend themselves to such short reviews. And I hope you have fun reading Authentically, Izzy! :D
DeleteYour haiku reviews are the best! Amazing how you can sum up a book with only a few words.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dorothy! Some books sum up better than others do. :D
DeleteAw that second one sounds cute!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it...especially all the LOTR references and banter between the two main characters.
DeleteI haven't read any of these yet! I have liked Lizzie Shane in the past and really want to try Catherine Cowles.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading Whispers of You I now want to read more of Catherine Cowles' books! And I like Lizzie Shane's romances, too. :D
DeleteGreat haikus, as always! The Izzy book sounds like it could be right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteThere was so much about it that was just fun and made me laugh. And I do really like epistolary novels. :D
DeleteLove your haikus, Lark! Authentically, Izzy was so much fun. :D
ReplyDeleteIt was! And it makes me want to read even more of Basham's books. :D
DeleteGreat job on the haikus as always!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! They're easier to write than long reviews sometimes. (Especially when I'm feeling lazy.) ;D
DeleteAll three of these sound like fun reads!
ReplyDeleteThey are all very fun romances...and I am a fan of romance. :D
DeleteFun post! I'm curious about Pride and Puppies. Thanks for mentioning Charlotte was frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThe romance between her and George is still a fun one.
DeleteThese all sound like such fun and I love the title of Pride and Puppies though Authentically, Izzy sounds like the book I'd most enjoy.
ReplyDeleteBoth are light-hearted and humorous romances that'll make you smile.
DeleteI'm in the mood for some romances lately so thanks for these recommendations. :D
ReplyDeleteAny time you need more recs just ask...I read a lot of romances. :D
DeleteMore wonderful haiku reviews. I don't think I could convey my thoughts as concisely. I do want to read Authentically Izzy, but I am now intrigued by Whispers of You.
ReplyDeleteThey're very different books; Izzy is more humorous, Whispers of You more intense. But I loved them both.
DeleteIZZY sounds like a fun one. I've always enjoyed novels that utilize letters, texts, diary entries, etc. It's a fun way to tell a story!
ReplyDeleteI do, too! I know some people find that format boring, but I love epistolary novels. :D
DeleteJust based on the title, Pride and Puppies would be the one for me.
ReplyDeleteThe haiku reviews are great. (As always!)
