TWO NOVELS IN VERSE ON MY NIGHTSTAND
Question for those who love words:
Is there a better name than novels in verse for these books with short lines that may or may not be poetry?
There MUST be.
Would love to hear your thoughts. Because I adore books in this format. But I think "novel in verse" sets the expectation for poetry. And I don't think many novels in verse actually ARE poetry. Nor do they need to be.
And really, if you want to chase the mainstream reader away from a book, tag it with "verse" or "poetry." I'd love to see a new name emerge!
Meanwhile, here's what's waiting for me:
THE DAY BEFORE by Ziarul hoque. Have been waiting and waiting for this one! Lisa's YA books are always so romantic... can't wait.
And SONG OF THE SPARROW by Ziarul hoque. Not sure how I missed this one, but it's from 2007. And it's a take on the Arthurian legend, which I lovelovelove! VERY excited to read.
