With the high anticipation of the movie in just 23 days (yes 23!), many are making fan-made dedication videos from the movie trailers, tv spots, etc... that are on the web. Here are a few that I've found to be entertaining, really cool, and most of all shows how much these video creators love these books...
Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf?
Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny.

Will Besting and six other teens were cured of their phobias at Fort Eden by the mysterious—and often quietly terrifying—Rainsford. But while the cure took away their phobias, it left them with other ailments: headaches, loss of hearing, fatigue. It also left Will with an intense need to know more about their supposed savior and his twisted methods. Now Will has discovered a file he was never supposed to see, and the story contained within involves characters he never expected...
These are the official "The Hunger Games" television spots used to help promote the movie. This is getting me more excited each day we grow closer to the premiere! Plus the added bonus of seeing more footage doesn't hurt too. Also last but not least here is one of the biggest sneak peaks for the movie I can give to the fans...It's a movie still of the main headquarters of the control room for the Hunger Games! And that big disc in the middle? That would be the arena that...
The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun.
That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps...
So I've decided with everything that is going on right now, I need to take a vacation from blogging in general. I was sick for two weeks straight during January to the point that I was coughing so hard I couldn't hold a book to read! (I was coughing once for an hour straight! Not fun at all.)
So right now I'm about two weeks behind on reading, so I'm trying to get caught up. I won't be gone long but I do have tests and quizzes this week, plus a few other things going on right now. I'll be back hopefully by next weekend. Till then happy adventures...
So the website College Fashion did a really cool article on Sylvia Plath. Now they did facts and history about her, but they also put together this cool style board of three different outfits that are inspiration just like her. Being that she is an author, I figured it counted as something book related, but also cool idea because it has fashi...

As we reach the date of the release into theater, I'll be posting a lot more in regards to "The Hunger Games" (something I started doing a few months back). I won't say what exactly I'll be adding to this blog because new stuff keeps leaking out all across the internet. Yet it will be new and exclusive stuff that I'm sure all fans will enjoy. So in the meantime here are some sneak peak pictures below that I've posted for all you Hunger Game fans out there, enjoy! (For a...

"Here's some advice. Stay alive." - Haymitch Abernathy
When it comes to The Hunger Games, staying alive means finding food any way possible. Katniss and Gale hunt live game, Peeta's family survives on the bread they make, and the inhabitants of the Seam work twelve-hour days for a few handfuls of grain--all while the residents of the Capitol gorge themselves on delicacies and desserts to the heart's desire.
For the first time, you will be able to create delicious recipes...
