Books We Didn't Finish November Edition
Wolf in White Van: I got about 1/2 way and I didn't care for it. I wanted to like it, but I didn't like the confusion about what exactly happened in terms of the catastrophic event to the main character. It was all getting muddled in the telling of the story.
Mink River: I didn't get very far into this one before giving up on it. A lot of times I really like these types of books where it's multiple characters telling stories about their lives and they become interwoven. I assume that's where this book was going. However, I just wasn't feeling it right now. It might have been good, but I just wasn't really in the mood for this kind of book right now.
The Arsonist: I really tried with this book. I felt like I should read it because it was getting so much buzz and it sounded like it should be good. I started and stopped this book twice. I just didn't care for it. I thought it was boring.
Rewind to You: I tried to like this one. But by the middle of the book, I just lost interest in the main characters. I get that Sienna had a tragedy in her life, but the blackouts were weird. I also thought her choice of riding on a motorcycle given the reason for her father's death was off. It was too angsty for me.
Roses for a diva: I didn't know going into this book that it was a sequel. I felt from the beginning that there was some back story I was missing. I also didn't like the writing style. Nor did I like the story line. I had a hard time buying a star who ignores creepy flowers and notes from an unknown person.
Afterworlds: This is another one that I tried to listen to. Maybe reading the actual book would have been better. The book shifts between Darcy, the author of a novel, and parts of the story of the book she wrote. I found the shifts in the story disorienting. I didn't care for the story within a story.
