Book Review: The Hunger Games - Catching fire.

Hello,
I finished catching fire and have moved onto Mocking jay. So here's the review for you. if you haven't read the first Hunger games book you may not want to read this as there will be spoilers.Here's the cover:


So Katniss and Peeta have escaped the Games the first time, but not without recieveing capitol's hatred for the both of them, they are about to go on their victory tour when president snow warns Katniss that if she can't convince everyone that she acted of love for Peeta that everyone she loves will be killed, because she has set off something that she can't even comprehend ending - A rebellion against Capitol in most districts.
Every part of this book shocked me and made me want to read more, Everything right up until the end was Amazing and I would recommend this book to anyone ( especially those who have read the first one) I liked it so much that i hunted around my house for an hour after i finished it for the third one. This Trilogy is defiantly my favorite even though it isn't the type of thing that i normally read and i can't wait to see how they put it into the film.

Love,

The Game of Elevens

Sarah's Questions:

1. If adventure beckoned, would you accept gladly or decline the offer?                                                                  I'm a wuss so i'd probally say I would decline
2. Take this test: http://similarminds.com/jung_word_pair.html and tell which personality type you are and why.

   but i have no idea why sorry:(
3. Do you judge based on fairness or feeling?                                                                             I like to think both but probably more feeling
4. Are you intuitive (follow your gut feeling and inner self) or sensing (follow your senses to what is logical)?                                                                                                                                        Sensing
5. What do you want to be as an adult and why?                                                                                 Well in a perfect world i'd make a living as an Author but Author/Journalist will do:)
6. If you had to choose when you die, when would it be?                                                               When i'm old and have lived a long and happy life:)
7. After you choose when, how would you prefer to die (gosh, this is morbid of me...maybe I AM crazy!) D:                                                                                                                           In any painless way... i hate pain:(
8. What is your favorite mythological creature?                                                                               Unicorn! ( which is weird as i'm scared of horses...hmmm)
9. Do you have a unique talent or feature? What is it and do you like it?                                         I don't know, i guess writing could class and if it does then i love it.
10. Are you excited to make up your own questions? (It's harder than it looks)                                                        No i'm really not, i can't think
11. If you could have your 15 minutes of fame, what would it be for?                                                    Writing a bestselling book:)

Book Review: The Hunger Games

Heeey,

To start this post i'm going to do a little bit of bragging about Camp Nanowrimo, I've kept to my daily word count every day and am now up to 19922 words in just 12 days - I'm so proud and i'm really enjoying the experience too. Anyway on to the review. Here's the Cover:


I finished the first of the Hunger games trilogy only about an hour ago and i was so excited that I ran to my nearest Asda's and bought the next two because I couldn't wait till tomorrow to get them! I'm sure all of you already know what it's about but I'll tell you anyway.
When the annual hunger game's reaping day comes Katniss everdeen didn't ever think that her or her little sister would get picked to be tribute but when Prim does get picked even though she only has one entry Katniss wastes no time to volunteer herself in Prim's place, she promises Prim that she will try to win for her and with her fellow Tribute Peeta attempts to get sponsers and survive capitols annual torture.
I seriously could not put this book down, Every time i ficked the page the words made me feel exactly as I imagined Katniss to feel, from the fauxmance to the fear every little bit draws you in and leaves you guessing until the very last page, the will she survive aspect of it keeps the suspence going until the last chapter and leaves you wanting to read the next book!
I would 100% recomend this book and I really could not say anything bad about it.

Love,

Camp NaNoWriMo:

Hey , 

I am just informing you that I am going be participating in Camp Nanowrimo for the first time ever, i'm really excited so i am going to post about my experiences and how i'm doing word count wise on my new Camp NaNoWriMo WIP here's the blurby thing that i wrote for it ( It's a bit rubbish but ah well) :

Harvey Hertz was a regular Aryan Nazi before his boss signed him up to be a spy for the Gestapo and he started to see some of the things that they did to minorities. He started to question all the loyalty he had for the Nazis. His loyalty is truly tested when he gets sent to spy on Elsie Dubin’s family. He used to think that Jew’s were heartless but after meeting Elsie all his views were changed, She was intellectual , caring , and everything he’d ever wanted, but there was one problem – he was sent to turn her and her family into the gestapo. 

It's my first time doing a historical so I'm super excited:D Wish me luck:)

Love,

Book Review: The wedding.

Hello:)
I keep forgetting to post this review because I finished the book ages ago and forgot all about it - Mostly because i was swept away by the pure romance of this book ( is it obvious that i love romance books yet?) - Again it's another book by Nicholas sparks who is in my opinion the king of romance ( Or 'love stories' as he says they are) It's called the wedding and it's the sequel to the notebook so if you haven't read that there may be some spoilers sorry! Here's the cover:


This book is about Noah and Allie's daughter - Jane - and her husband - Wilson - it is set a few years after Allie has died. Wilson realises that Jane has fallen out of love with him and that he hasn't been a brilliant husband to her and sets about getting her to fall for him again. he decides that he will make an extra big effort for their anniversary but Jane is preoccupied when their own daughter announces that she's getting married on their anniversary. Will wilson's plan be stamped out by the wedding or will he succeed and Jane will fall for him once again.There is also a little subplot that Noah thinks Allie has made her way back to him and her soul is in a swan that lives at the retirement home that plays a bigger part in the book than it would seem.
As usual with Nicholas Sparks there is a surprise plot twist that you don't see coming even a little bit. It's so amazing how intense Wilson's love is for his wife and Like all these book, it leaves you wishing that you could live such a romantic life. I love this book again , as i could never ever hate Nicholas Spark's books , he has yet to write one that i don't love

Love,

Character Interview: Derek Reid.

Hello, this is my first Character Interview and i'm going to do it with Derek, not because he's a MC but because i think he has alot going on for a secondary Character and i don't really understand him sometimes.

Interview with Derek Reid

Me: Hey Derek, Thanks for being here today, I originally wanted Luke to interview first but he’s too busy with other stuff

Derek: Charming, why would anyone want him more than me? I’m so much more handsome.

Me: Well Summer wanted him and not you didn’t she?

Derek : ( Giving me evils)  Don’t talk about Summer, anyway I’m over her now.

Me: Is that just because she’s dead or because She was married to your brother.
Derek: Both, and I’ve been with women who were much hotter than her.

Me: Okay let’s change the subject now Derek. How’s Luke dealing with Summer’s death in your opinon?

Derek : Well he wasn’t dealing with it well, I mean he disowned me his own brother, but now he seems to be doing better , but he won’t move on it’s infuriating me.

Me: Well he did disown you because you told him you loved his wife like an hour after she died but you know all that so let’s skip that part. Why do you want him to move on?

Derek:  because it’s been four years , and I love little Bella, and I can see she needs a mother, and Lu can’t give her that… unless he tries to find her a step mum.

Me: Aww , I love it when your sensitive side starts to come out Derek.

Derek: I don’t have a sensitive side what are you talking about? I want him to move on mostly because I want a wing man to go to bars with!

Me: You think he’s going to go to bars with you? What’s he going to do take his four year old to pick up women?

Derek: No Abby will look after Bella.

Me: That’s a good idea, leave your ex with your brother’s daughter so you can go pick up women. Anyway, How are you and Abby , having any luck?

Derek: No, I’ve tried a lot believe me, but she’s still vundrenble, I think she still misses Summer, but it kinda seems like everyone’s lives got worse when Summer died.

Me: Did yours?
Derek: Well… not directly because of Summer, because I lost my brother, but it got a little better because I gained my great little Niece

Me: Aww you’re admiration for Bella is lovely , you’re the best uncle ever ( When you want to be)

Derek: What was the last comment about?

Me: Nothing , anyway I can’t think of anymore questions for you so that’s over now, Bye Derek.

Love,

Book review: safe haven

Hello,
I know I do alot of reviews on Nicholas Spark's books. but I love his books! Expect more reviews on his books as i just bought 3 more:D Excited :)

So Anyway here's the cover of Safe haven:

This book is about a woman who is running away from something and along the way finds true love in the from of Alex - a widower with 2 young children. -. i know at this point i usually explain the plot in detail without giving much away but to be honest i don't want to ruin it for anyone who's going to read it, because if i had known anymore than this i wouldn't have enjoyed this book as much. The mystery of this book is the best part and without that it would be ruined. So I have located the blurb and will post that instead.

Blurb:

When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. 

This book is so sad and touching. I love this and nicholas sparks is and always will be my favorite writer. At the moment i'm reading 'the wedding' So that review will be up as soon as i finish the book.

Love,
