For those
of you who are regular readers of my blog you may recall that one of my
resolutions is to read more this year. It is always a resolution of mine, but
last year I didn’t seem to read as much as I usually do, so for this year I
thought I would do a monthly book roundup to help me stay on top of my reading.
This
month I only read two books, but it’s a short month right… Hopefully this month
I will have a chance to read more, but the two books I did read were fantastic.
Okay…okay…I
know it’s not exactly the most adult like book to read, but I never read it as
a child and I always like to read the book before I see the movie. Speaking of,
who else is exacted to see such a fabulous cast bring this story to life on the
big screen!?
Meg Murry
and her brother, Charles Wallace are perceived as being a little different by
those outside of their family. One stormy night Meg, Charles, and their mother
come to the kitchen for a midnight snack of warm milk, but are disturbed by and
unexpected guest.
Mrs.
Whatsit informs all three of them that there is such a thing as a tesseract {a
wrinkle in time} which allows you to travel at an extremely fast rate. The
tesseract takes Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin, an athletic student, on an
adventure through time and space.
Fair
warning, this book is not the most uplifting book, but the writing is just so
phenomenal, and Ng does such a fantastic job of giving the reader insight to
each characters perspective. Even though this book airs on the sad side I
strongly recommend Everything I Never Told You to everyone.
Lydia,
the favorite child of a Chinese American family living in the 1970s, is dead,
but the family does not know that yet. Lydia’s parents are more than determined
that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to accomplish/complete.
Starting at a young age an enormous weight is placed on Lydia’s shoulders and
grows as each year passes.
When
Lydia’s body is found at the bottom of a near-by lake her family’s world is
turned upside down and the balance thrown completely off. This is a story of
family secrets, longing for everything to be just perfect, exposing the way in
which relationships with family member can sometimes be a challenge, and how
sometimes things are just simply not as they appear.
Everything
I never told you is the definition of a ‘page turner’ – I honestly read the
last 100 pages in one sitting, I just couldn’t put the book down.
Super curious to read those books!
