Top Ten Characters I’d Like To Switch Places With For 24 Hours

I love all of these characters!! They are all strong, independent females who I admire! Plus, most of them have great boyfriends who I wouldn't mind kissing! haha Be warned though, there are spoilers in these, mainly in 2, 4, 5, 8, & 9

1) Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)--I love Hermione! I always liked how she's able to get Harry, Ron, and herself out of difficult situations. She has saved their lives so many times! If it weren't for her, Ron and Harry would have died in the first book! If I were to switch places with her for 24 hours, I probably wouldn't be much help to Harry & Ron, but I would definitely try. I just think it would be awesome to meet Ron & Harry and all their other friends, to see Hogwarts, and maybe take a few classes, too. It would be fun!

2) Lena Haloway (Delirium)--Lena is definitely an admirable character. She has been through so much! I cannot imagine a world without love! I would want to switch places with her after the revolution is over in Requiem. 

3) Tris Prior (Divergent)--Tris is a lot braver than I am, but I think it would be interesting to see Chicago the way it is in Divergent, and to see and hang out with all the people who survive book 3. Hopefully, Tobias/Four will be one of them. 

4) Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games)--Well, I wouldn't want to be in her position when she's in the Hunger Games, Quarter Quell, or war, but it would be cool to live a day in her life after the war is over. I wouldn't want to have her nightmares, though. 

5) Juliette Ferrars (Shatter Me)--I cannot imagine living life knowing that I could harm someone by just touching them. I think it would be interesting though to see what the hideout she's staying at is like & to train using the powers Juliette possesses. 

6) Wanderer (The Host)--Wanderer is so brave and so selfless. It seems as though everything she does is for the greater good and for the humans she has come to love. I would love to spend a day as her & experience life as a soul. It would also be very interesting to see what the caves they all live in look like.

7) Clary Fray (The Mortal Instruments)--I love Clary. I found so many similarities between her and myself. I would love to live a day in her life. I think it would be so fun! Plus, who wouldn't want to make out with Jace? 

8) Trella Sanchia (Inside Out)--Trella's life in both Inside Out & Outside In is quite exciting. It would be very cool to climb through the pipes the way she does. It would be very interesting to see the cube that she and everyone else lives in. Her world is very interesting! 

9) Melanie Stryder  (The Host)--If it weren't for Melanie, Wanderer never would have gone to find Jamie & Jared, and if she hadn't then who knows what would have happened to all those humans living in those undercover caves. They could have all been caught. Anyways, I would like to live a day as Melanie after Wanderer becomes separate from her body.

10) Isabelle Lightwood (The Mortal Instruments)--I love kick-butt female characters who know how to take care of themselves & save the day when needed. Isabelle is definitely one of those characters. Not only that, but she's down right hilarious, too!

This week's book or series:

                        The Hunger Games

                       By: Suzanne Collins

My favorite couple from The Hunger Games:

Peeta & Katniss

I love Peeta and Katniss together. I wanted them to get together since the very beginning of the first book. Opposites attract. They are so different from each other, yet so perfect for each other. They both experienced two games of the Hunger Games. They were both willing to die for the other multiple times during both games. Not many people who experience the Hunger Games are willing to die for another person in it. They were truly the only two people each trusted. Katniss only completely trusted Peeta and Peeta only completely trusted Katniss. I really love the two of them together. They are definitely one of my favorite fictional couples ever.

What's your favorite ship from The Hunger Games? Comment below, or if you have a blog, post your link!

Day 27: The Scene in Mockingjay You're Most Looking Forward To

Day 27 of the 30 Day Challenge: The scene in Mockingjay you're most looking forward to


Warning: There is a huge Mockingjay spoiler in this tiny post!






As you may recall from Day 3 of the Challenge, I mentioned my favorite part of the series being literally the last part of the series when Katniss & Peeta finally get together! So, of course, this is the part I'm most looking forward to seeing in Mockingjay. Hopefully, it will be better than the book and will actually have a full scene of the two of them together, but who knows? We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Day 26

Day 26: The scene in Catching Fire you're most looking forward to


Warning: There is a huge Catching Fire spoiler in this small post!


I'm definitely looking forward to a lot of different parts of Catching Fire. If I must be specific though and pick one, I'd choose the part in which Peeta and Katniss are both awake and keeping guard during the 75th annual Hunger Games while at the beach. During that part, Peeta tries to convince Katniss that she should let him die so she can live because she has a family (and Gale) who care about her back in District 12 while he has nobody. Technically, he had his family, but they didn't love him the way Katniss's family (and Gale) love her. This is the part when Katniss realizes that she would miss Peeta and would be a completely miserable without him. She tells him this, but he keeps trying to talk her out of it, and to live. He even mentions indirectly that he would die so Katniss can marry Gale. Katniss won't let Peeta talk her into it, and she ends up kissing him. Then, Katniss gets the "feeling" within her when she kisses him (a feeling she never got when kissing Gale), a feeling that makes her hungry for more of his kisses. It's one of the parts in the series when you know that she loves him, but she just doesn't know it yet. I also like how in the morning she can barely look Peeta in the eye because of all the kissing they did the night before. haha.


Oh goodness. I cannot wait to see that scene. So romantic. Ahhh... Is it November 2013 yet? Okay, I don't want time to rush away, but I'm still looking forward to this part.

Day 22: Favorite Katniss Hairstyle in the Movie

Day 22: Favorite Katniss Hairstyle in the Movie

(Some spoilers from the first book & movie are mentioned in this post)


From the moment I first saw the trailer, I absolutely loved how Katniss's hair looked when she wore it down. It looked beautiful. I really wish my hair looked that stunning. Here's the part of the trailer that I'm referring to:

She also wore her hair down at the end when she and Peeta are named Victors of the 74th Annual Hunger Games. See below:

I thought she looked prettiest during that part. Of course, she wasn't dressing the way she would in real life but still I thought she looked gorgeous.

She also had her hair down at the very end during the train ride:

Plus, Peeta looks totally gorgeous as well ;)

Thanks for reading!

Days 19 & 20 of the Hunger Games 30 Day Challenge

Hey, everyone! I decided to combine Days 19 & 20 of the Hunger Games 30 Day Challenge which are:


Day 19: Favorite scene in the movie
Day 20: Least favorite scene in the movie


I combined the two of them because they both have the same answer: I don't have an answer! I loved the movie, but I couldn't possibly pick one part that stood out to me the most and I definitely could not pick out a scene that I hated the most because I loved every minute of it, from beginning to end. Sorry, my answer is quite boring, but hey, what can I do? 


Also, you may or may not know it, but today is Katniss's birthday! So without further ado:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATNISS!!!

Katniss is by far one of my favorite characters in the series and of all time. She is such a strong, independent woman who can take care of not only herself, but her friends and family as well. She is definitely a role model for women of all ages. I am very grateful that books these days have more and more female characters like her.

Day 9 of the Hunger Games 30 Day Challenge: Favorite Katniss Dress

Day 9: Favorite Katniss Dress (either from the books or movie)


There are some spoilers from the first book/movie in this post.


From the movie:

It's hard to decide which dress I prefer when it comes to picking a favorite dress from the movie since I've only seen the movie once so I can't remember all the dresses Katniss wore, but I would have to go with the red interview dress. It was really pretty. (I didn't like the bottom of it though.) It was a tad bit upsetting that the dresses in the film were not as good as the dresses in the book, but Katniss wears a lot of dresses in Catching Fire so maybe I'm speaking too soon. We will have to wait and see. Maybe if they do a good job with it I will make a post just for all the dresses Katniss wore! Who knows?

From the book I would say that my favorite dress was the simple yellow dress that Katniss wore after winning the games when she went onstage to meet Peeta. I guess I preferred the simplicity of it. I can't remember how it looked in the movie, but I remember she looked like an Ancient Greek goddess. See below photo. I wish the photo showed the entire dress so I could remember.
