As much as it wasn’t roundly devastating, the Bell Jar left me a bit deflated. I want a bit of a change in tone at a similar writing standard – not really looking for quick/easy reads, but I do want the topics to be a bit brighter.
Ideally:
-
Looking for something that is written beautifully, or is compelling just in the words that are used. I think I care more about playful metaphors and involving descriptions than real plot points.
-
Not looking for something hugely relationship oriented; I don’t care much for romance.
-
I do love a good strong female main character, particularly those of the wry and witty variety. But this is not a must.
(BONUS: open to a little bit of magic and adventure – dealers choice)
