I want to like it!-Books that just weren't right

Sometimes I need a specific book for a specific mood.  That means that getting books out of the library can be hard because I never know what book I'll want.  My mood can change daily, even hourly.  I can be worse than my cat who asks you to pet her and then turns to kill for doing so.  One day I'll be in the mood for a light happy romance and the next I'll be reading some depressing novel written in poetry.  Here is my list of books I want to like, but just read at the wrong time. 

School Spirit by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel-I want to like it!  I want to like it a lot!  I know so many people who read the series and loved it.  I want to read it and not think about how I could never identify with the main character at all.  EVER.  I found it at a library book sale, and now it has a warm, happy home on my windowsill acting as insulation. 

The Girl Behind the Glass by Jane Kelley-When I found this book on Goodreads, it seemed creepy and exactly like something I would want to read.  I got it from the library and I was even more excited when I found that it was sort of told by the thing (ghost?) that lives in the house!  Exactly like something I'd read and love.  But, as I said, it was sort of told by the thing. At least, I think it was but I don't know.  I didn't finish the book.  I flipped ahead to see how it ended.  That was it.  I was done.  It started to get a little repetitive and I wished it would just wrap it up.  Without me wrapping it up myself. 

The Search for WondLa by Tony DiTerlizzi-This was recommended to me by one of my friends.  I got it at Summer Reading last June.  I read about fifty pages and stopped.  I still haven't picked it up again.  I want to like it.  I really liked the Spiderwick Chronicles when I was six.  And I always want to give books by authors I like a chance.  It has a little too much robots-rule-the-world stuff going on to really catch my attention. 

Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage-(I'm going to try to keep my complaining to three sentences.  Here I go.)  I could not identify with the main characters.  I expected it to be magical, and it wasn't.  I tried to read it twice and I couldn't do it.  (I can't only do three sentences, sorry.)  The main characters stole a boat.  Stole a boat.  I wouldn't do that!  Not in a million years!  Then they returned the boat to the man they stole it from and took the reward.  I'm not anything like them. 

Perhaps someday I will try these books again when the mood strikes me.
