Mockingjay: Part 2
On Saturday, I was lucky enough to view the last film in the Hunger Games Franchise. I have been well caught up on this series as I read the books just over 3 years ago. I also have gone to the cinema to see a majority of the films.
My review:
My expectations for this were at a medium level as I do enjoy the franchise but the last movie (Mockingjay Part 1) was not as memorable as I had hoped. Jennifer Lawrence's acting was better than ever and highly emotive. She led the story timelessly. The films storyline was very close to the book and although there was not that many action scenes, apart from about 4 scattered around the 2 hours, the silent shots of Katniss (around 5 seconds long) made the story what this part was written for: How the main character suffers. These pure 5 seconds(es?), as they make the final beautiful bittersweet scene really worth it. You leave this film feeling satisfied yet sad. My one con is that it would have worked better as a 3.5 hour movie than two 2 hour movies.
I have seen many reviews saying stuff like "I can't believe it's all over" ect ect ect... But one thing I can tell you is that it isn't. Yes, there will be no more books. Yes there will be no more films. Yet we still have devoted fangirls (and boys obviously) who have there heart in this fandom and their love for the hunger games will continue until there heart ceases to beat. We have fanfiction all over the internet (and everyone knows, most things stay online forever). I will leave you on that note. Our Fandoms we'll die but Our Love for them won't.

Nerd Out : The App
There is an app. I have Just found out about it. I guess it may be a long time until I can try it, and review it for you all. First, My kindle fire crashed this morning and my dad said he would rescue the remaining broken apps. He's doing that right now (so he claims, he's probably on sim city).
Anyway, Nerd out is a pretty impressive app made by Your Friend Elle. From what I've learnt from articles and videos, basically you select the date, and then the city. It will show you awesome nerdy events in the area. I will write more once I try out the app.
Remember to enroll in the we day team here.
Bye,

we day: We take charge
I want to take part in a bloggers fight for the world with you all.
"This year, take a sustainable living pledge to shake up your daily
routine with new ways to reduce your negative impacts and
boost your positive ones. Track your actions and add up your
impacts to show the world that when young leaders take charge,
the future gets brighter." - WE day "WE TAKE CHARGE" pledge.
First, I need to sign up the group so please comment below if you want to take part. You need to let me know before the end of November. We then need pick our pledges (e.g. week 1 pledge:
Cut all of your showers down to 10 minutes or less) Or something else and then congratulate ourselves round christmas. Also we can think up pledge boosters, blog about it.
Here is an extract from the pack:
"Forming new habits and routines is hard work, and sometimes you might hit a snag achieving your pledge goals. Don’t worry! There are lots of ways you can assess and adjust the way you approach your goals, and the goals themselves. Halfway through each week, have your group members sit down and write out some of the tips and tricks they’ve learned that make the pledge easier to stick to. Also jot down any difficulties you’ve run into along the way. Get together to discuss your tips, as well as your challenges. Write everything down and see if any of the advice you’ve shared could help other group members overcome difficulties. If anyone is having trouble with the pledge, suggest they buddy up with another group member who can check in with them regularly and provide encouragement. If you’re finding that any of the goals you set are too easy or too hard, vote on the possibility of slightly adjusting them. Okay, so you’ve just spent a month taking on challenges to make your daily routine more sustainable. You’ve earned more than a few bragging rights. But more than that, you’ve showed how anyone can step up and take charge of how their choices make an impact on future generations. Now you have a chance to inspire friends and family to take their own pledges. Here’s how: Post your milestone moments online to show the world your impact with #WeTakeCharge or focus on writing posts with tricks and tips to help others live more sustainably. Invite a friend, family member or local business to take a sustainable living pledge. Sweeten the deal by offering to feature their progress with #WeTakeCharge in your posts on Facebook, Twitter, We365 or wherever you like to share good news stories. REFLECT AND REVISE 5 CELEBRATE AND SHARE!"

The Hasley book tag /// Minty Perfections
My 60th post is a Book tag based on hasley. Anna did this and I really wanted to try. But possibly I won't be able to answer any some of them.
1) Castle: Your favorite queen
THIS IS WHAT I MEANT WHEN I SAID I CANT ANSWER SOME.
2) Hold Me Down: A series you just can't seem to get in to, no matter how hard you try.
Harry Potter. I'm sorry. I just have never bothered finishing.
(HATE ME ALL YOU LIKE)
3) New Americana: A friend group you'd want by your side during the apocalypse
The Lets-run-away-from-amity group at the beginning of insurgent. (It consists of, Tobias, Tris, Caleb and Susan.)
4) Drive: A couple that needs to communicate better or get marry, have kids and live happily ever after
Theodore Finch and Violet Markey. BUT WE ALL KNOW IT WONT HAPPEN.
5) Hurricane: Favorite standalone
All the bright places. FULL STOP.
6) Roman Holiday: Cutest contemporary couple
Not one at the moment.
7) Ghost: Most tragic break-up
What I am about to write is Anna's words. I agree with her so much and am speechless with love for finch.

The ending for All the Bright Places killed me. Theodore Finch.... and Violet....

8) Colors: That one character who cause you a lot of pain because of the terrible decisions they made
I know there are loads but I purposely forget them just cause.
9) Strange Love: A character people dislike, but you love
MY MIND IS BLANK
10) Coming Down: Best sexy time scene
Not read many.
11) Haunting: A book or character you're still thinking about
