Haiku Reviews

 

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Two sisters deal with
heartache in different ways.
Find love in the end.

Classic .... 353 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(My 2025 Jane Austen reread to celebrate her 250th birthday this year; it's not my favorite Austen novel, but I liked it more this time around than I did the first time I read it. Though I still love the Emma Thompson movie version best.)




Fly Girl by Ann Hood

The reality and
adventure of being a 
flight attendant for TWA.

Biography .... 265 pages .... 3.5/5 stars.
(Remember when flying used to be a more glamorous way of traveling? Ann Hood does in this interesting memoir.)



Star-Crossed Crush by Sarah Deeham

Hot rock star. Cute dog.
Best friend's little sister.
Secret crush. True love.

Contemporary Romance .... 335 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(Slowburn romance with lots of heart, humor, and only a few steamy scenes...it also has a very cute Corgi name Archie.)



Happy Reading!

  1. Sense and Sensibility is probably the Austen novel I liked least, but I do want to reread it one day. Great haikus as usual!

  2. FLY GIRL definitely sounds interesting. I always like behind-the-scenes books like this. I'll have to check it out.

    1. I love behind-the-scenes books, too. Especially with jobs I'd never do myself. ;D

  3. Emma Thompson's "Sense and Sensibility" was a classic! I could watch it again and again.
