Posting this for the #haikuhive - it made me chuckle! I could try to write this post in the form of a haiku but….no! 😝

It‘s from a UK company:

This Orcadian verse SFF novel with accompanying standard southern English version tells the story of a student returning to a space station from her art studies who forms a relationship with a visitor to the station.

While it was fun matching up the two versions and listening to the audiobook on Everand, there seemed to be a lot missing from the actual story which suddenly just stopped in the middle of the action. A disappointment.

Feet blistered walking
on eggshells, heart bruised by words
spoken without thought. 🥚

My first rough haiku, since there‘s an extra syllable in the first line. 😬

It shouldn‘t be like this —
but you‘re too blind to see what‘s
right in front of you.

I gave it an extra star just for the exceptional artwork throughout the book. This gorgeous story is about how branches are in our lives every day, from nature, animals to ourselves. At the end is information how branches affect our world. Just lovely.

Back to the library because I forgot to pick up a hold yesterday. More reading and more check outs ensued.
