I fell in love with The Hunger Games after my sister made me watch it at home. I made a vow to myself to ignore that series after I was forced to write a book review of the box set without having read it first because someone was too brilliant to understand the story, let alone come up with a decent sentence. But after seeing the film adaptation for the first time, I was swayed. I thought it was morbid, but I fell in love with Katniss and Peeta. After that, it has been our tradition to watch it on the big screen when they come out. It’s sad that I didn’t get to spend the last Mockingjay movie with my sister, but I’m glad I had my brother and sister-in-law with me, who my sister and I dragged into Panem as well. Last Sunday, November 22, as I was watching the movie for the second time around, I realized how much I love this series, just as much as I loved Harry Potter. It was worth it. Everything. All the times I read the books over and over, all the tears that I’ve shed, all the time I’ve wasted watching videos on YouTube paid off. I know that for some people the book sucks, but I feel otherwise. It was definitely a book I cried to the most, and still does whenever I reread Mockingjay.

Mockingjay Part 1 (Review): The Odds Were in Their Favor

A few days before its premier, I deliberately avoided every Mockingjay interview and sneak peeks; I don’t want to get spoiled by watching scenes from the movie before I even get to see the entire film. Thank God I did this because, for me, as a fan, this is by far one of the best Hunger Games movies so far.

I would understand non-book readers’ reaction. Even those who have read the book would say that Mockingjay is the worst in the trilogy. But personally, I beg to disagree. I love Mockingjay because it tells more about how corrupt the government could be, and how one voice can make a difference. Mockingjay isn’t about child’s play anymore, this is a seriously war movie.

I’ve read Mockingjay twice and listened to the audiobook four times, but about two days before watching the film, I re-read (well, re-listened to the audiobook) again. If you haven’t seen Mockingjay, you’re gonna have to move on to other posts now because from this word forward, you’re gonna be seeing LOADS of spoilers.

What are you still doing here? Go! I’ll be fangirling here so much I’m gonna spoil it for you!

Still don’t want to go? Fine. But don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Prenup, Catching Fire, Mockingjay and Dumb Qs

Seriously, like why can’t people just stop asking dumb questions? Questions that they can answer themselves? I f*cking hate that! Oh, yeah, I’m talking about that one person who keeps doing that. Sometimes I don’t know if he’s just doing that to catch my attention or he’s really just plain stupid. It’s sooooo annoying!
