All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven book review feat. My BFF!

All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven - a double book review!


 My Parabatai, Rachel introduced me to this amazing book, and so I decided - why not review it together? I hope you enjoy this post and comment if you want to see more like this!
Before we can continue, I need to warn you. There may be spoilers. If you want to read this book, bookmark this web page, go read it and come back!
Rachel just wants to say; she's really bad at this. 
I just want to say; she's not!
One last thing - neither of us knew what the other one had said when we answered the questions so if our answers are similar it is just coincidence and our Parabatai bond!

Who was your favourite character?
Sasha AKA Book Maniac; That's like asking me who my favourite child is. The two main characters are both amazing and unique. I'm going to have to go with Finch. But wait, I loved Violet so much...
Rachel; Theodore Finch

 How good on a scale of one to ten?
Sasha; 9.9 recurring
Rachel; 9

 Describe this book in three words...
Sasha; Beautiful. Unique. Heart-breaking.
Rachel; Beautiful. Painful. Remarkey-able

 Favourite quote?
Sasha; So not today - because she smiled at me.

Rachel; You make me love you and that may be the greatest thing my heart was ever fit to do you make me lovely and its so lovely to be lovely to the one I love.

 At the suicide support group, the members are asked to fill in the blanks; ...... is life.  Your turn.
Sasha; Pretending is life.
Rachel; Illusion is life.

 Which of the places Violet and Finch go wandering would you go to if you could only choose one?
Sasha; The Bookmobile Park! But I would be sad to miss out on the others.
Rachel; The Blue Hole.

 Would you want to be part of Germ? If so, what would you write about?
Sasha; I'd love to be part of Germ. I'd want to write about life in general, being yourself, and do book reviews, poetry and stuff about writing! 
Rachel; I wouldn't want to be part of Germ because I wouldn't know what to write and I'd be scared I might ruin the magazine.

 Would you want there to be a sequel?
Sasha; No. I loved this book, but I think it's perfect as a stand-alone. I would read a sequel if there was one, but I wouldn't push the author to write one.
Rachel; I wouldn't want there to be a sequel because it would just be Violet getting on with her life without Finch

 What song makes you think of this book, or what song do you think of when you see this book?

 Recommended read if you liked this...
Sasha; Well, all the critiques say The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. I have to agree, and I'd like to add Mosquitoland by David Arnold and We Were Liars by E. Lockheart. Nothing is like All The Bright Places, but all of these books were really good.
Rachel;  I would recommend Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and Holding Up The Universe, also by Jennifer Niven. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.

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
