Hop over to http://www.ethicalela.com and click on VerseLove to read Sharon Roy’s prompt for today! She’s inspiring us to write haiku poetry inspired by our reading lives – and is actually writing War and Peace in haiku. She blogs at Pedaling Poet. I’ve been spinning my wheels since February trying to get through Forth Wing, and I’m glad I did. Other than Harry Potter, fantasy is not my preferred genre, but it did stretch me. I definitely am not a fan of romantasy, especially spicy romantasy. But at least no dragons died. I would have been in the floor for days, crying over their deaths. And I finished in the name of book club because it was only fair that we each picked 2 books for all of us to share in reading together. And we do things in the name of book club that we would not do for anyone else! But now I want a t-shirt with the logo below.

Good for you!! Finished reading and documented it well with a poem!
On another note, you inspired me to choose POETRY as my summer reading focus and focus of my Summer Virtual Book Club. I picked two books and am adding your blog and my colleague, Beth Sanderson’s, blog. The idea is to read and/or write poetry and add your “reading notebook” page about it and then documenting it to this padlet – https://padlet.com/sally_donnelly/2026-summer-virtual-book-club-poetry-euko86vxlr3aqzjf
You are the first to see my summer idea! Thanks for inspiring me!

I am with you in that I don’t read much fantasy and especially dragon romance. One of my good friends has made it Big Time writing dragon romances. I won’t even read it for her. Congrats to you for getting through it.

Now, I’m intrigued. I’m not a fantasy or romance reader, but I think I’ll try romantasy! Good summer read maybe.

Kim, even though I do not read spicy romantic stories, I did love the TV series Game of Thrones. Your haiku is accurate as per your prose.
