Summary:
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

My Thoughts:
This was such a great book! I loved The Hunger Games but in my honest opinion this was even better. It was much more adventuresome and wild. The story was fully developed and the characters so real. The story was one to just sit down and read.

I recommend this book to fans of the first. Everyone should try the first book though.

Summary:

After the death of Hogwarts beloved Headmaster Harry, Ron and Hermione are left with a tremendous task to perform. As we found out in book 6, Voldemort has split his soul into 7 parts. It is up to Harry to find and destroy all of the missing pieces before there is any chance Voldemort can die. This book leaves us with many dead and more than a few lives destroyed.

My Thoughts:

This is my second reading of this book. Since it is such a huge book I feel that I got a lot from reading it again. Although I didn’t remember things getting such a slow start is was just as delicious this second time. You are really able to get lost in the world J.K. Rowling has created for us and no focus on the fact that the book you are reading is so long (the same can not be said for Stephanie Meyer). I applaud her incredible writing abilities and the finish to the series she has created.

The end of this book will leave readers satisfied, their desires fulfilled. I recommend this book to everyone, even those who have already read it. Refresh yourself before the movie.

Speaking of the movie, 2 parts?! Come on, LAME!

Playlist:

1. You Belong With Me (Taylor Swift) ß This book has romance, okay?
2. Stronger (Britney Spears)
3. All We Are (Matt Nathanson)
4. When It All Falls Apart (The Veronica’s)
5. Sticks and Stones (The Pierces)

Books To Movies Part 2

Today there will be two books to movies that I thought were great!

PS I Love You was flat out amazing. It was cute yet sad at the same time. I really loved it so much!

I love The Clique so much. I have read Gossip Girl to try and top it but it just cant be done. The movie was so funny but they sweared more than in the book.

What do you think was great? Should I do this again sometime?

Best Books to Movies- 1

A brief 2 part feature where I will talk about 2 books to movies that I liked in each.

Book/ Movie one: Harry Potter

They did a great job of capturing all the details in the first movie. As for 3,4,5.... :(

What do you guys think? Will 6 be good?

Book/ Movie 2: The Theif Lord

I read the book in 3rd grade (yes I was an advaced reader even back then :P) and again in 6th grade as a class. We proceeded to watch the movie and I must say it was FANTASTIC!!!!! Have you guys read or seen it?
