The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

-

You're a wallflower, Charlie, You see things. You keep quite about them. You understand.


A while ago I watched the movie for this book. (Not knowing there was a book! Never watch a movie before you read the book!!) I really like it, so of course I ordered the book when I found out there was one!!
This book is strange, but I really liked it.
Charlie is a wallflower, sitting and watching from the edge, but now he's starting high school. There he meets hilarious "Nothing" And irresistible Sam, and they become friends. But still he watches as they have their hearts broken, watches as they dance, never dreaming of dancing himself, until one day it occurs to him that he should take a look at what life looks like when you "Participate"!
My favourite character was Sam, played by Emma Watson in the movie. She's funny and great. It's a really sad book and hard to read at times. Sometimes I just want to go smack Charlie and be like "No! DON'T DO THAT." He has gone through a lot though. More than he thought......

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
