HaikuPrajna

Condense the wisdom/ of those who came before, for/ those who come after.

(Good readers)

Hello good readers,

We did it! We reviewed all of #MyYearInBooks for 2020, and every book review was condensed into a poem! If any of our readers has a Goodreads account, or if you enjoy reading and would like to keep track of books and reading goals, please add me on Goodreads, I would love to see some more familiar faces on the site.

April had brought Goodreads' annual hashtag to my attention, so we went through a HaikuPrajna Goodreads 2020 Year In Review! We had even been noticed by the authors we wrote on! This year, I may review my 2021 books as I finish them, so please stay tuned if you enjoyed these posts.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for partaking in this with me.

Until next time,

20210107 - "How to Speak and Write Correctly"

HaikuPrajna

The fundamental/ tools, available to all,/ style of the masters.

("How to Speak and Write Correctly")

Hello goodreaders,

This is the final review for 2020's #MyYearInBooks, thanks for partaking in this with me, these poems will be part of a future HaikuPrajna Collection. Today's book is "How to Speak and Write Correctly" by Joseph Devlin. Writing is a solace which borders both religion and philosophy, so it always pays off reviewing the fundamentals, no matter how well-versed you may be. This book accompanies other "cliche" books on writing, like "The Elements of Style", which I wholeheartedly believe are indispensable tools for any writer.

Stay tuned for an update to cap off my 2020 Goodreads!

Previews of the upcoming "SM-SARA" HaikuPrajna Collection can be found here:  https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/p/sm-sara.html
