Frozen Fire

Hi!

I've read a great book recently. The book was called Frozen Fire, by Tim Bowler.
Here's one of my favorite quotes:
(Inspiring Quote of the Day)
IQD


"Days, weeks, months, years," said the boy. "Minutes and hours and seconds. I don't know about any of those things." — Tim Bowler: Frozen Fire

The book is a deep thinking read. When I finished reading Frozen Fire, the book was actually finished. The book left me to gather my thoughts and try to create an impossible solution . . . For ten minutes, I stared blankly out the window. The book has such depth. Tim Bowler is "the master of the philosophical thriller."

Anyway . . .

Read any good books?

I've recently read a book called Everything is Fine by Ann Dee Ellis.
Personally, I didn't love love love it, but it made for a good read. It was about
a young girl living alone with her depressed mother after her younger sister, two year-old Olivia, died accidentally. The story was slightly funny, slightly sad, and slightly what we can call the "odd factor." Everything about Mazzy is just a little weird . . . Her cryptic lifestyle, her strange friendships, and her general outlook on life made me want to read more and more.


An entertaining, out-of-the-ball-park journey.
