Bout of Books Read-a-Thon

Review: Mockingjay

Review: Mockingjay

Posted May 4, 2012 by Whitney in Review / 1 Comment

I was so hyped up to read Mockingjay and unfortunately it did not live up to my incredibly high expectations.  It was good, just not great.  After District 12 is blow up like Princess Leia’s home planet, Alderaan any survivors move to District 13 who has only reemerged after years of hiding.  I did not […]

Review: Catching Fire

Review: Catching Fire

Posted May 2, 2012 by Whitney in Review / 0 Comments

Just when I thought it was kind of safe Katniss’ life goes to hell in a handbasket again.   The Hunger Games are supposed to be over, but her troubles are just beginning.  Catching Fire does not skip a beat going into action with the despicable President Snow who has revenge on his hands setting his […]

The Spring Into Horror Read-A-Thon hosted by Michelle at The True Book Addict is a little more than half-way over and I have been very bad at updating throughout the week so instead I am doing a midway post. I haven’t read as much as I would have liked but have managed to read about twelve hours within in […]

Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon Pre-Game

Posted April 21, 2012 by Whitney in read-a-thon / 6 Comments

Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon starts in a few hours and like a colonoscopy it’s in need of over-night prep.  I’ll be going to bed early tonight in anticipation for a long day of reading. I have been thinking not only about my stack of books but also the rationing of caffeine.  Like the proper book, caffeine […]

The Hunger Games Movie

The Hunger Games Movie

Posted April 20, 2012 by Whitney in movie review / 1 Comment

I saw The Hunger Games this afternoon and let me tell you, it was awesomeness!  After having finished and loved the novel, I was excitedly anticipating seeing the film.  I patiently waited for the hub to die down (I didn’t want to be stuck in a theater full of middle schoolers).  So I waited, and […]
