#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Headed to Kauai for the day for meetings, a focus group & an All Hands dinner tonight. Sitting in the quiet bustle of the lounge waiting for my flight & writing today‘s haiku:

Neighbor Island Commuters

Dawn at HA lounge
Bustle, chatter, coffee scents
We nod, take to skies

dabbe I love the sense of community and the phrase “take to skies.“ 💛🐝🖤 4d

This is a hard one to sum up - it‘s about a marriage that is falling apart after the individual‘s dreams don‘t work out the way they hoped. The characters are well drawn, but it took so long for the book to get moving. I had to switch from print to audio to keep me reading in time for our book group discussion. #wickedwords : bet, school

This month‘s #bookclub pick led to a lively discussion! Revolving around grief, this details the brief but devoted marriage between Josh & Lauren. Told in his perspective moving forward from her funeral & hers moving back to the start of their relationship, this structure frustrated me at times because I wanted a stronger foundation for their relationship to share in the grief. But I loved the concept of the letters & tasks— an engaging listen!

I'm not sure this was the best book for me right now. I mostly enjoyed it but I don't know. Some of it seems like personal opinions on art and the future and the economy disguised as part of the narrative. And the ending really depressed me! But still, most of it was humorous and poignant and relatable so don't pay me too much mind.

Essays aren't a go-to genre for me, but a Southern girl transplanted to NYC? Sign me up. This was delightful, & the author's voice was perfect. Will definitely listen to more of her collections.

⭐⭐⭐✨/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ahh, that‘s better. (Sighs with the relief of having taken quiet refuge in a delightful, absorbing reading experience).

Marriage, or any long term romantic relationship, is hard. This cleverly written and uniquely structured short novel explores one such relationship.

A most excellent read.

BarbaraBB I adored this when I read it years ago 1mo
sarahbarnes Yes! I loved this one too. 1mo
Reggie Ooof the part where she goes to his work and he uses the word “us” with the affair partner. Ughh 1mo

I have no idea where or when I acquired this book, so I think that makes it a perfect #ReadOrDonate candidate! What will everyone else be reading?

PuddleJumper The usual Heroes of Olympus book. I've got someone waiting for me to finish the series so she can have the books 🤣 2mo
TheAromaofBooks I literally just reach in a box and grabbed a book 😂 Looks like April's pick is 2mo
julieclair @PuddleJumper Nothing like a little friendly pressure, right? It‘s a great motivator. 😘 2mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Sounds like a great method to me! 😂 2mo
Reggie Ughhhhh the husband in this book. Booooooooooo! 2mo

This was such a cute and sweet manga!

The story is very interesting to say the least. Essentially, the main character, Nasa, gets saved by a mysterious girl named Tsukasa. He immediately asks her out and she says yes on the condition that he marries her. This volume primarily explores the very early days of their marriage.
