Mockingjay

It's the first day of December everyone!!!

What a good way to start the holidays other than by reading a good ole book. Oh, not just any book but The Hunger Games. I did mention that I was rereading them and did a synopsis to the last two in honor of the Mockingjay movie, didn't I?

Uhuh! Good memory you guys! so without further ado here's the last book of the best-selling series.

......

In the last and final installment of the The Hunger Games Trilogy.

Can we still say the odds are never in their favor?

We shall see...

Now, that there is no more District 12.

.......

Upon learning that there is no more District 12, Katniss struggles her life in District 13 as she struggles in this new place and holding herself knowing that Peeta is in the capitol being held captive  Through her act of defiance the whole districts of Panem had now fully rise to a rebellion. Feeling somewhat manipulated as the fire who started the uproar , Katniss reluctantly agreed to be the "Mockingjay" (the symbol of rebellion) with conditions. 

She wants Alma Coin, President of District 13, vows to grant immunity among all Hunger games Tribute including Peeta who had previously made a propo (propaganda) to have a cease fire which made the people in 13 angry and deemed him traitor and most but not the least, she gets to kill President Snow.

A rescue team was sent to the Capitol to rescue the captive tributes as President Coins word after witnessing Katniss upheld her own. What seems to be a heartfelt reunion between her and Peeta turns out to be one excruciating reunion. Peeta didn't think twice of attacking her and claiming to her to be a mutt.

Torn, hurt and humilated Katniss shunned Peeta to the point of avoiding him and treat him with hostility.

In this last installment a thrilling and action packed adventure awaits.

What will Katniss do now that President Snow is on the hunt to make sure she's dead.

What will President Coin do in order to get what she wants?

Will Katniss and Peeta grow back together?

Will she know who the real enemy is?

And this time for sure...Will the odds be in her favor?

Catching Fire

Can't still get enough of the first book?

Why wait when you can grab a copy of the second book and start reading? In my case, I've already done it. No matter how many times I've read it. I still swoon and sigh every time I came across that part of the book. I'm not telling you what it is. It's for me to know and for you to find out. Fufufu.

If you're truly curious about what happens next, you better start reading. You already know that I tend to give some sneak peaks about almost every book that I've read. Hmmm...if it's not a sneak peak then a synopsis (Aren't those two words one and the same?) I'm going to continue to do so until the future.

So buckle up as I give you the book's much awaited synopsis of Catching Fire:

.....

The story opens after Katniss and Peeta won the 74th Hunger Games and became the District 12 victors. Deemed as the Star cross lovers of the capitol, both of them looked at each other's eyes as two people who were deeply in love with each other and cannot live without each other. In Peeta's part it's all real but for Katniss, everything is all but a show she needs to put up in front of the capitol, which the former soon realize with a heavy heart. Without facing the cameras, their relationship becomes awkward and soon enough have nothing much to talk about. 

In every games that had won, there's a "Victory Tour" for the victors to visit each districts fallen victors. Katniss, however, had her first visitor unexpectadly and it's none other than President Snow. His visit is to express how disappointed and angry he was with her for breaking the rules at the last Hunger Games (there must be only one victor in every game but due to Katniss's act with the berries defying the capitol to give them their victor, she and Peeta lived and became the first two victors of the same district) Not pleased with her, President Snow told Katniss that by doing so she incited a rebellion from other districts.

In order to defuse the "fire" that she created Katniss must convince Snow that she meant really no harm that she only did that to survive. A deal was struck between the two. Katniss is determined to do what she was told to save the people she love and cared for.

But what happens when it goes wrong?

What will she do now that the Quarter Quell is coming?

What would she if the 75th Hunger Games is also coming up?

Will her estranged relationship with Peeta mend and continue to act as Star crossed lovers?

and what's worse can Katniss diffuse the fire that was catching?
