#redread
Finding something to read, watch or play this month’s Read Watch Play theme, #redread can inspire you, could spark your passion or ignite the blood thirsty part of your personality.
Red is a word that brings many things to mind; bloodshed, fire, science, sport, passion, politics, food, drink and things that can make you blush.
It could be that books on design, how to dress for success and looking for the right career for you could start your reading of the colour red. Design with Colour and Style, How to Dress for Success and What Colour is your Parachute?
Music has the famous bands Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Simply Red and popular Red Red Wine by UB40, Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Redneck Woman by Gretchen Wilson and I See Red by Split Endz.
Red haired actors and actresses Damien Lewis, Lucille Ball, Robert Redford, Don Most, Ron Howard, Danny Bonaduce and Julianne Moore. Games of Thrones is one of the most popular television shows at the moment and with the amount of blood shed in each episode it would make a great #redread (the red wedding!). Watch Dr Who wearing a red fez, Red Dawn (the 80s version or the remake?) or get locked in the red room with Jane Eyre.
Sports can bring out the passion in people either supporting your favourite team Manchester United, Sydney Swans, Chicago Bulls, Red Bull Racing, Sydney Swifts, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox to mention a few. Read sports biographies such as Alex Ferguson: my autobiography, Thierry Henry: lonely at the top, Brave Heart, Aussie Grit and Michael Jordan.
Romance is a genre that screams red or its younger cousin, pink. You can try classic romance or a hot erotica romance. A Rogue by any Other Name by Sarah MacLean , When He was Wicked by Julia Quinn, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, A Court of Thrones and Roses by Sarah J Maas and Bitten by Kelley Armstrong may ignite your passions. Reading the Smart Bitches Trashy Books blog will help you keep up-to-date with the latest news and reviews in the romance world.
Will you mix politics and red with all things Julia Gillard, cook some red food or simply read books with red covers? What will have you seeing red this month?
