As Spring Break Comes to an End...

Easter Morning with my cousin.
I will admit that I am wearing heels.

Happy Easter everyone! I realize that it has been such a long time since I've updated my blog, but I figured that since this was my last night home for Spring Break, I would do a little update.  Scattered throughout this post are a couple pictures from today!

Aside from the fact that I had a wonderful weekend hanging out with my cousin, and having a wonderful Easter dinner with my family, this past Spring Break/Easter Break has just been crazy!  Well, more specifically the past month. I could barely believe that February flew by, let alone March. How is it that it is April already?! I am going to be done with my second year of college in less than a month. That is just unreal to me.  

Easter Dinner!

Anyway, here is a short little update of what I've been up to the past few weeks.  I have seen The Hunger Games Movie, not once, not twice, but THREE times. Yes, I know. Many people think I'm obsessed, but I promise I'm not.  I just so happened to see it with different groups of people. This Spring Break I was also able to have the chance to finish up The Hunger Games Trilogy and although many may say that they didn't enjoy the rest of the books, I thought they were all very good.  Some parts were more confusing than others, but it is a book that keeps one reading, which I really liked.

This past week I also went to go see the movie October Baby. Later on I will do an official post about this movie, but since it may not be out in theaters for much longer, I just want to say that if you haven't heard of the movie or haven't seen it, look it up and go see it. It has a great message and I personally related because it was a movie about adoption.  Below is the movie trailer, so check it out!

Book Review: The Hunger Games

Well, I did it! I finally started and finished reading The Hunger Games, and I really thought it was an amazing book. I definitely can not wait for the movie to come out, in fact, I'm going to have to pre-order my tickets for it tonight. I'm really glad that all my friends convinced me to read it.

About the Book: The Hunger Games is a novel written by Suzanne Collins about a sixteen-year-old girl, Katniss Everdeen who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where the countries of North America once existed. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, holds absolute power over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 from each of the 12 districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle in which only one person can survive.

What I thought: I thought this book was wonderfully written.  Throughout the entire book, whenever I thought something was going to happen, the book always took a twist and something else happened.  It was a nice easy read, and it's a good book just to read for enjoyment. I think that it is a great book for anyone who is in 8th grade or older.  It doesn't matter if you were preferencial towards a certain genre of books, because this book has a mix of action and romance.  This book was very well written because as I was reading, I could visualize everything that was going on.
