Welcome to Day 3 of Book Moods!
I’ve noticed that there are a lot more negative-ish moods
on this chart than positive. What’s that about? Someone needs to make a happier
chart.
Luckily a negative mood does not translate to a negative
reaction to a book. Some books aren’t meant to leave you with the warm and
fuzzies. Many of today’s authors did their job really well, leaving me a wee
bit very edgy.
·
Frightened:
Firestarter (Stephen King)
o One
of the first horror novels I ever read. As soon as I got to the mom getting her
fingernails pulled out, all the lights were on.
·
Enraged:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
o Never
have I ever had such a visceral reaction to a character as I did to Delores
Umbridge. I’m angry just thinking about her.
·
Ashamed:
Dead Witch Walking (Kim Harrison)
o I
just read this book a few months ago. How did it take me eight years to start
this series?? It’s just wrong.
·
Cautious:
Lord of the Flies (William Golding)
o Kept
looking around at my classmates, wondering, Would
you kill me if we were stuck on a deserted island?
·
Smug:
Sense and Sensibility (Jane Austen)
o Not
my favorite Austen book, but it’s one of the first books I ever took out from
the adult section of the library. I felt so grown up. Put this bad boy in my
Keroppi backpack and walked out with my head held high.
·
Depressed:
The Outsiders (S.E. Hinton)
o Cried
like a tiny baby child.
·
Overwhelmed:
Unraveling (Elizabeth Norris)
o Every
time I thought the book might settle into a quiet moment, something else huge
would happen. Nothing ever felt safe. Definitely overwhelming, but awesomely
so.
·
Hopeful:
The Kitchen Daughter (Jael McHenry)
o An
absolutely lovely book. When I finished the final page I felt a little sad, but
also very optimistic.
Check in tomorrow for the final mood grouping!
