Crashed Landing sounds cute. Yikes, I wonder what happens in the self-driven car! Loved The Love Haters, too! Great haiku reviews, Lark! :)
ReplyDelete:D Thank you, Rachel!
DeleteGreat haikus! I really enjoyed The Love Haters, and hadn't heard about Crash Landing before, but now I want to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThe Love Haters was a very fun read. But then it is by Katherine Center. ;D
DeleteThis list! I feel like I'm gonna enjoy all of them.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm hoping for. :D
DeleteSo good.

Hi, Regine!
DeleteYour haiku reviews are always so clever!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dorothy! :D
DeleteAs usual, very clever haikus. And I am very interested in The Passengers. I would never ever trust a self driving car.
ReplyDeleteThe Passengers is a good thriller...and will definitely make you leery of cars controlled solely by a computer!
DeleteGreat selection as always. Your self-driving cars remark made me laugh! :-D
ReplyDelete:D I tell you, after reading that book you'll know why I said that.
DeleteI always enjoy your haiku reviews.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! That means a lot. :D
DeleteThe Love-Haters is on my TBR and Crash Landing looks like a fun one. The plane crash plot is definitely a bit different for a romance!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for plots where the main characters get stranded somewhere together. :D
DeleteAwesome haikus! I've heard a lot about The Love Haters, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love that quote you shared from it. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's a very cute romance but with more depth. I think you would like it.
DeleteLove your very concise haiku comments on the books!
ReplyDelete:D Thank you!
DeleteThey all sound fun!
ReplyDeleteI thought they were. :D
DeleteYour haiku reviews always make me smile! I really need to read more of Center's books. I've enjoyed all the ones I have read so far.
ReplyDeleteI really like her books...although I did read one of her early books--maybe even her first?--that I didn't love. All the rest though have been very fun.
DeleteI've always been curious about The Passengers. I am never getting a self-driving car. They kind of scare me plus I have control issues and could never let the car drive me. Love these!
ReplyDeleteI have control issues, too, so I don't think I could ever fully trust a self-driving car. But the book was great.
DeleteThe car collisions would not be good. I know that self-drive technology is coming but I sort of want to keep on the controls !
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that! It would be nice to have cars that could brake automatically when the driver is on their phone and not paying attention to the cars around them, though.
