Fire Colour One by Jenny Valentine

-
A few weeks ago I went to a bookclub. It was the first one (they are now monthly) and this was the book we were given to read.
The Mile Long Bookshelf: Fire Colour One by Jenny Valentine
At my father's funeral, after everything, I lit a great big fire in his honour.
It's about a girl called Iris who is a pyromaniac.
One day her millionaire dad, who left her and her mother when Iris was four, gets in touch, saying he is dying and wants to see Iris again. In hopes of getting money in his will, Iris's mother drags Iris with her to see him.
But Ernest is different to her mother's discriptions, and when Iris meets her father, she wishes she had more time with him. But everyone is keeping secrets, and Iris has lost her best friend, Thurston, the only person she could trust.
I just finished this book this morning and I really liked Iris, and I didn't think she was crazy at all. At the beginning the book wasn't so good, but it got much better. My favourite character was DEFINETLY Thurston, who is really funny.
This probably isn't a book I would have read, if not for the book club, but I'm glad I did read it. It was good.

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
