WTF?! WTF?! MOCKINGJAY!!

I'll post an official review in a few days...whenever I get over my aftershock.

But. Three words. WHAT THE FUDGE?!
MS. COLLINS, you blew both Hunger Games and Catching Fire wtih Mockingjay. THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. The right amount of romance twist, tables turning, shock, violence well played, and emotions of fear, love, sorrow just making me shake with anticipation.

Below I'm going to include my first opinions. It will include spoilers. Cover your eyes. And before I talk about the endings, what happens in the book, EVERYONE, READ IT! I've been shouting this during my whole lunch period today, but I think I was more obsessed with this than I was with Harry Potter, which is saying something.

Also, on another note. I am back officially. I'm currently designing the layout with my friend, so please bare with this until we're finished. Below is just a preview of what you'll see (I'm planning to use this is as my button.) Please give your opinions  :)


SPOILER DISCUSSION (Cover your eyes from this sacred discussion if you have not read it! Feel free to leave comments below)
  • Peeta!! MY LOVELY PEETA THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH! (Sorry, Katniss, he's mine :P) God. I felt so so so so bad for him when he was hijacked. My beloved Peeta tortured. But I really wish Collins had extended the book a bit more to see more of Peeta's actual gentle side to make the ending scnee more touching since either we barely saw him or he was mentally evil.
  • Too many deaths :(. God, I was crying within my heart when Finnick and Prim died. I was growing really fond of Finnick. 
  • Gale. I didn't really like him much in this book, but I felt like there should have been a better tie with him with Katniss. 
  • Just absolutely loved the violence in the book. Made it seem much more tense and rigged with emotions. God! I was literally shaking at every chapter. At every chapter, Ms. Collins left a bomb that left me hanging for more.
Please tell me what you think! I'm so rigged with shock and happiness and SADNESS (NO MORE HUNGER GAME BOOKS) that I can't even form coherent thoughts/ (MS. COLLINS, why did you release this book so late in the summer, right when school starts?!)

Winner to CSN Giveaway & Hiatus


Hi everyone. So I'm leaving to Europe soon and before I did so, I chose the winner of the CSN Store Giveaway.

The winner is:

Sarah M. 
 
Congrats to her!!! I will send an email and if she doesn't reply in 48 hours, I will choose a new winner.

So, I decided, since I need to prepare for my junior year and use my summer to the fullest, I'm going to put off blogging until the beginning of the school year (September). I will be on and off since then but please, please wait for my full comeback until then with a new layout (the person who is making it is off on vacation too, so I need to wait till then) and until my library gets more new books for me.

So, adieu until later! I'll be in Europe and I'll make sure to post up pictures! Thank you for sticking with me and please wait for a better and more awesome blog.

Also, I WILL make sure to post a review of Mockingjay as I wait hungrily.
