After reading such an engrossing novel such as 1Q84,
it has been difficult to find any reading material that engages me in the same
way. I thought I had found two
candidates but unfortunately, both of them did not make the grade.
Girl in Hyacinth Blue by Susan Vreeland: I liked the
storyline but the pace was too quick.
Without much of an introduction to this new world and the key point of
the plot made in the first ten pages, there was nothing left to be desired.
Dented Cans by Heather Walsh: The voice of the main character, a high
school girl, is very realistic and easy to engage with but the way she goes on
random tangents about her life and family lead me to believe I would have to
read about mindless gossip and drama before the real storyline came into play. Overall, I felt it was not worth my time.
Hopefully April will be filled with more reading treasures! Happy Easter!
