Day 6: A book that makes you sad

The boy in the stripped pyjamas

I found the book so sad that I have refused to see the movie of it..I don’t think my heart could handle seeing it played out on the screen.

Day 5: A book that makes you happy

Sun, 06 May 2012 14:12:06 -0400

This took me a while if I am being honest. I’m not really into those happy ending books or things like that! But when I thought of this book I smiled :) so here it is a book that makes me happy ..The Secret Garden

I remember reading and rereading this when I was younger..It is just simply a great book! Tempted to read it again it has been so long…

Day 4: Favourite book in the series

Sat, 05 May 2012 16:32:20 -0400

Number 7 hands down! Deathly Hallows ….They were all amazing but the last book didn’t hold back on anything..it no longer felt like a young adults book. The deaths of those we loved (although I was heartbroken to say the least) made the book in my opinion..it was the right ending, happy but with that twinge of sadness..which made the book so memorable! I would have been seriously disappointed if it had been “..and they all lived happily ever after”

Day 2: A book that you have read more than 3 times & Day 3: Faourite Series

Thu, 03 May 2012 10:06:00 -0400

Thats simple Harry Potter…have read them all more than three times and they just get better each time around so definitely my favourite series…although The Hunger Games are pretty darn close..but have only read them once!

Day 1 : Best book you read last year.

Okay day one and I’m already struggling. But honestly they would probably have to be the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I know it says one (but I read them all together!) These are books I think everyone should read :)

The 3 finger salute was one thing in the movies that really stood out to me. It gave me chills every time ,”It means thanks, admiration and goodbye to someone you love ” These were amazingly portrayed in the movie…gets me every time I see the words. (Own design)

Obsessed is not the word...

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 11:45:05 -0400

Okay so I have become completely obsessed with all things hunger game related! I took some fandom quizzes and even I was surprised by how much the hunger games appeared in my results considering I am massive fans of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings too. Here is one of my results…

How I feel reading every book but even more so with fantasy…the idea that there could be another world out there somewhere…

Especially the main 3

Opinions on actors cast? Personally I think they are all great actors but not completely sold on all..especially the main 3 unfortunately! I just wish Josh was a bit taller or Jennifer was a bit shorter…I just don’t feel the chemistry between them…maybe Liam would have been better cast as Peeta..I don’t know? Any opinions?

The Hunger Games Movie..

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 21:43:03 -0400

So I just saw The Hunger Games movie. I had heard a lot of hype about it even from people that have read the books too and I have to say I was quite disappointed. Okay granted I actually saw Los Juegos del Hambre (Spanish version, so some things may have been lost in translation) but even so I feel like there was something missing. I take that back, a lot missing.

1. The Gale/Katniss relationship

2. The Peeta/Kattniss relationship…after the movie I didn’t feel like it was obvious how much Peeta loved her and how confused she was…especially the part where he says “it was all for the games” I was heartbroken at that part in the book but the movie…..

3. The Haymith/Katniss relationship…in the book wasn’t he supposed to not really like Katniss?

4. How bad life was in district 12.

5. HOW THE MOCKINGJAY PIN GOT TO KATNISS

There is probably more just can’t think of them at the minute.lol

What to expect...

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 00:32:00 -0400

so basically if anyone looks at my blog you should expect to see random things about books…good ones, bad ones, ones to be made into movies etc but most importantly expect…HARRY POTTER & THE HUNGER GAMES two of the most epic stories ever to be told! :) enjoy
