Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

Review: Everything, Everything by Nicola YoonHi again! Sorry, it's been a while. I was half way through a really thick book, but then I picked up Everything, Everything and I read it instead, I finished it yesterday, but I've been too busy to blog it until now!                                                              Everything, Everything is about a girl named Madeline who is allergic to the world. Stepping outside could kill her. She hasn't had the company of anyone but her mom, her nurse, and the occasional tutor, but then some a family move next door. And Maddy meets Olly.                                                 Maddy falls in love with him, and she is willing to risk everything, everything to be with him.           This is a really great book, and I look forward to watching the movie, starring Amandla Stenburg as Maddy and Nick Robinson as Olly.                             This book is great if you like a bit of heartache.        It is a great teen romance and coming of age story.I know everything happens for a reason, but sometimes I wish I knew what that reason was. My favourite character was Maddy, who tells the story. It would be really hard to have SCID like her, but she handles it quite well. I also loved Carla, her nurse, and of course Olly, though he was a bit annoying sometimes. I like the way the book is set out.What would you miss most about the world if you had SCID? I think I would miss having friends, because I have a couple of really close friends who I couldn't live without. I would also miss, of course, the world in general. I think what is really sad is that Maddy has never actually experienced the world, so she doesn't even know what it's like, or what she is missing.At the end there was a big suprise, which I really wasn't expecting. Obviously if I was Maddy, i would feel happy about it, but it must have been so hard to have such a big change, and also her mum......     (Trying so hard not to give any spoilers....)

Can You Smell It?

March Prompt - Favourite Scent. I've got to say, I don't really notice the smells around me - except the food ones -. Still, our noses are amazing things. Everything has its own individual scent. I don't have a favourite, but I'm going to share with you some of the ones I like. See if you can conjure up the scents I love without it being around you. I won't include food, or my list will go on forever. Our noses can remember 50,000 scents. Do you remember the same one I do? I'm going to start with snow. You don't always notice, but snow has a rather delicious smell. Like wind and flowers and cold. I wouldn't recommend sticking your head out the window and smelling it for long though, your nose might freeze off. We recently had the first snow settling this year! It doesn't happen a lot down in the valleys of south-west England. Up on the moors near us though, It snows much more. Another smell I adore is that of books. Old and new, larg

February prompt - RED                                                RED The first thing that comes to mind at the word red is blood. I guess that has to do with one of my favourite books RED QUEEN. Today I'm going to post a review of some books I have read with the word RED in the title. But first... More about the word red and what it means to me. "Red to call enchantment down" Never wear red with blue. Music For a while, Taylor Swift was my favourite singer. I have all her albums except Reputation. One of them is called Red.  Like many albums, this one is named after one of the songs. Listen to the track RED. CHORUS Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark grey all alone Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met But loving him was red Oh, red Burning red poems A few days ago I wrote a poem called RED and posted it on my blog as part of my Thirty Day
