  1. Hmmm frightening doesn’t sound good? Is it like “Brave New World” frightening?

    • It’s more like horror story frightening! Although now that you mention it, Brave New World was pretty scary, too.

      I like scary stuff sometimes, though. 🙂

  2. I haven’t heard of any of these books but Xenocultivars definitely sounds like it’d be a refreshing read. I’ve never heard of that word before but I’m curious now ? Great one-word reviews!

  3. I do like frightening things! Haha, seems like some good reads. This week was hard for me.

  4. I love some sarcasm. Great list.

  5. I haven’t read any of these, but some of them sound really interesting especially with your one-word reviews. 🙂

  6. Great list! I’m curious about a bunch of these books now.

  7. Ohh, Sarcastic sounds good to me!! Great list. 🙂

  8. Frightening is definitely not one I could do haha. I cannot do horror or scary books

  9. I am not familiar with any of these, but all your one-word descriptors say so much.

  10. I haven’t heard of any of these books, but ‘Redlocks and the Three Bears by Claudia Rueda’ sounds like a cute book that my son would enjoy.
    Thanks for visiting my blog!

      You’re welcome. Yeah, that was one cute read. I hope your son likes if you read it to him.

  11. You found some great words for your one-word reviews. Great.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.

  12. I haven’t read any of your picks, but I really like your word choices!

  13. Hmm, I’m not sure I’ll go for complex and sensible but perfect sounds like a good read to me!

    Have a great week!

  15. Love all of your word choices. Even though I’ve not read any of these, I feel like I have an overall idea about the book based on your words. 🙂

  16. Seeing a book described as sarcastic makes me want to check it out. LOL

  17. I enjoyed reading your one word reviews for each of these books! Pooch Problems caught my eye (I read your review–such a cute cover!) in particular. I miss having a dog around the house.

    • Pooch Problems was such a good read! I hope you like it if you read it.

      And I hope you can someday get another canine companion. 🙂

  18. Refreshing is a great word for a review!

  19. Every list I visited on this week’s topic did the topic WAY better than mine. It’s definitely one I plan to re-do because, I have to prove to myself I can use one word. 😉 Thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland on this week.
