#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by this breathtaking view on my flight from Boise to Portland. It‘s a view that gives me a feeling of home even after 24 years in Hawaii. Lucky to be spending the weekend at my sister‘s hanging out with family.

Mountain of legend
Snow-spotted peaks rise above
Lush verdant valleys

I accidentally used a Everand credit on this when I meant to grab Yukon Alone. After a half hour of confusion about the book being about King Salmon and not an adventure race I figured it out and found the book very interesting. King salmon run along the Yukon River but like many other species are suffering with climate change and overfishing. The author takes a canoe trip to talk to the people who live along the river and see the salmon.

Looking for audiobook recommendations! We are driving from Grand Teton to Glacier National Park this summer.

My husband isn‘t a big reader, so looking for recommendations that a non reader would like!

Genres would probably be mystery or fantasy (like LOTR but not boring) ☺️

TIA!

Librarybelle I‘d try this one, and the other two in the series. I loved the audio, and it‘s quite entertaining, so I think it would hold a nonreader‘s interest: 5d
TieDyeDude Sci-fi, but I enjoyed the audio of the sprawling story of (edited) 5d
BarbaraJean Not fantasy, but sci-fi: the Murderbot Diaries series! Most are novellas, a couple are full length novels, and there are I think 7 in the series so far. The audiobooks are great, and the MC is engaging and snarky. So much fun. 5d

5feet.of.fury There‘s a full cast version of the Hobbit that‘s good. Also comedy/memoir type books are how I got into audiobooks & if he doesn‘t usually listen to them that might be good so I‘m gonna go with 4d
Laughterhp @BarbaraJean Ooh! That‘s a good idea. Maybe I‘ll make his listen to murderbot and then watch the tv show with me! 4d
Laughterhp @5feet.of.fury Oh! Thanks! We just started watching Parks and Rec! This might be a good one to check out. 4d
Laughterhp @Librarybelle @TieDyeDude Thanks!! I‘ll check those out! 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures I also vote Murderbot! What about nonfiction? Something bite size like John Greens The Anthropocene Reviewed or I really love Patrick Radden Keefe any of his really like 4d
Aims42 This one has been recommended to me for a good audio book. I haven‘t listened but it has good reviews 😊 4d
5feet.of.fury @Laughterhp I looooove parts and rec! Retta & Amy Poehler‘s books were also good 😂 4d

Well written but the author had a lot of white privilege that was not acknowledged or addressed, but that tracks with the time period it was written.
After her divorce the author decides to travel, mostly to developing nations, where she joins in the local communities, gathers inspiration for her writing, and builds a global network of friends.
2/5 read for a well written travel story, but also know the age of the author and the time period

iread2much @MemoirsForMe yes! It‘s an older set, it‘s micro-figure sized and it‘s the whole castle. 😊💜 1w
MemoirsForMe Amazing! It looks huge! 1w

I swear, every day since Drumpf's second inauguration has felt like the shittiest dystopian. Unfortunately, this is not merely fiction. This is very much real and all of the policies/authoritarian aspirations are causing real time pain and suffering.

kspenmoll Totally frightening-daily onslaught. Yes to all you said! 2w

AnnCrystal It was unbelievable! Alex Padilla is the first Latino elected to the United States Senate from California, it must have been all they saw...

This is crazy, not even a Senator has rights to question Little t's policies?

This is horrifying in America!

Travels with Charley, by John Steinbeck (1962)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Premise: The famed author undertakes a road trip across the United States to reconnect with ‘real America‘, accompanied by a beloved aging pet.

Review: This is a fascinating portrait of a divided country that is still enlightening 65 years later. Cont.

Mattsbookaday Particularly harrowing is his description of traveling through the South at the height of the battles for racial integration. Obviously aspects of the discussion are problematic from a 2025 perspective, but Steinbeck‘s keen eye and discerning mind make it a valuable snapshot of a time and place.

Bookish Pair: Jack Kerouac‘s On the Road (1957)
