It sounds like the perfect break from school. I hope the rest of the semester goes well.

Sounds like you had such a FUN bookish weekend...Ah! Sounds like you had such a FUN bookish weekend. I just got to watch Mockingjay Part 1 this past weekend, and I enjoyed it way more than I expected to. I really admire the acting caliber of most of the actors involved, and the way we were given extra insight as to what was happening AWAY from Katniss (as you pointed out) was really good. Also, I'm totally jealous you met Robin LaFevers! I love her series so, so much <3Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-33321656367074053402014-11-28T18:43:26.588-05:002014-11-28T18:43:26.588-05:00Fun fun fun meeting authors and getting autographs...Fun fun fun meeting authors and getting autographs and cheap books! So yes, I totally loved the rescuing Peeta scene! I remembered so little from the book that it was hard to remember what had changed, but I don't have any complaints about the movie except I did want the exchange with Haymitch and Katniss about both of them leaving Peeta in the arena. But maybe it comes later? I thought it was early on but I might be remembering wrong.

I me...I saw Mockingjay yesterday and liked it okay. I mean, it's my least favorite book of the three, and the first half of the book is worse than the second... sooooo I kinda figured I wouldn't LOVE the movie. They could have easily condensed this into 45 minutes and done just one movie, but oh well. I thought JLAW did a good job (but yes that wig was very distracting omg) and Elizabeth Banks as Effie was awesome. Peeta's physical transformation was easily the most memorable part. :(<br /><br />P.S. MAGGIE. I love her!

I had no idea you were going to this Miami International Book Fair - or that it was even a thing - but you're so lucky that you got to meet all those authors and snag a hardcover for five dollars. (I wish books were always as cheap as they are at conventions and festivals.) And it's great that you liked Mockingjay so much - I was nervous about it since I didn't love the book and since it's in two parts (which never ends well, in my experience), but your stamp of approval makes me feel better. Enjoy the rest of your time at home! :)Emily @ Forever Literaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220478018390968505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155297479974865683.post-38590207765034949892014-11-23T10:22:19.077-05:002014-11-23T10:22:19.077-05:00This is so awesome, Summer!
