#HaikuADay Day #16 #HaikuHive

Had a news alert about Kīlauea‘s (active volcano on The Big Island) continued erupting pop up this morning leading me to the live YouTube channel to watch https://www.youtube.com/live/oG5zz9Sjw3E?si=HIdNw6vshRzNM-va (where the photo is from) & that inspired today‘s haiku.

Note: The easiest way to pronounce Kīlauea is kee-lau-ay-uh, so 4 syllables.

Kīlauea rains,
Flaming showers of lava
Kīlauea reigns.

#Read2025

Another book I finished a while ago & didn‘t post a review for. My second April #Roll100 pick (#16 Any Library Book). While not my favorite Hendrix book (it didn‘t have as much dark humor as his others), I did enjoy it. It did drag a little in spots, but by the end I was anxiously turning the pages to find out what happened. Less about witchcrafty horror & more about the horrors done to unmarried pregnant girls & women in the era.😱

#Read2025

I finished this last week but I‘m behind in reviews. Read for #MonthlyNonFiction it was also one of my April #Roll100 picks (#16 Any Non-Fiction). It was an interesting juxtaposition to read this book while watching random famous people try to pass themselves off as astronauts & having Nancy Drew solve a mystery with exploding oranges at Cape Canaveral. I remember being in class (college) in the morning when they wheeled in a tv & ⬇️

DebinHawaii … showed the haunting replay of the Challenger exploding. So chilling & crushing to watch. You know what happens in this detailed account leading up to the tragedy & its aftermath but that doesn‘t stop you from hoping it won‘t. These 7 heroes should never be forgotten. I found the book well-written & researched & completely absorbing. 1mo

Probably the most useful book I'll read this year. Yeah, I'm old. But it's great information to really believe that you're not going insane. #16-2025

My April #Roll100 picks:

#24 Any stories or essays: Every Drop is a Man‘s Nightmare (also my #FictionalTraveler April #Island pick)

#36 Any Non-Fiction: Challenger (Also for April‘s #MonthlyNonFiction)

#16 Any Library Book: Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

I‘m excited about all three of these!

PuddleJumper Looks good! 2mo
Hooked_on_books These are all terrific books! You‘re in for a treat! 2mo
julieclair I like the way you structured your #Roll100 list… “any”. 2mo
DebinHawaii @julieclair I did some of it last year & did the whole thing that way this year. It really works well for my mood reading! 😉 2mo

Here‘s my #readyourkindle picks for March. #16 is a mood read, #14 is a mood read, #19 is Kindle Unlimited and #1 is #roll100. Basically, I can choose whatever books I want for these prompts except for #roll100. I have 1 book that I started last month from my #roll100 list. If I get finished with it this month then I‘ll add it on here. It‘s taking awhile to read because it‘s a nonfiction book you journal along with.

PuddleJumper Sounds good! 3mo

Interesting story, but I didn‘t like how jumped back and forth between timelines and characters- it didn‘t feel organized. The fire at the end made me so sad. I don‘t trust authors who kill animals in their books. Book #16 in 2025
