Catching Fire and Mockingjay

Hey guys, I just got finished reading Mockingjay! I almost have no words for whatever it is that I just read but I liked it! For me, since I get attached fairly easy to characters a lot of time, I was on a really bad roller coaster through these two books. Starting with Catching Fire, I seriously hate this book so much that I like it. It's not the best in the trilogy but it literately, is good. Mockingjay...there was a lot that happened in Mockingjay, most of my time was spent worrying about the characters I loved the most. Still it's really good but the major things that happen in both these books is pretty predictable. That's all I have to say.

Characters on my favorite list include:
1. Peeta---Every time something happened to him I would start crying. It was crazy. 
2. Haymitch---He was, for me, a safe house throughout the whole thing. I loved him from the beginning mostly and my love for him just grew throughout the whole thing. 
3. Finnick---I couldn't help but love him. I don't see how anyone could hate him. 
4. Johanna---What can I say? She has an attitude that I like. 
5. Cinna---How can you not love him? 
6. Venia, Octavia, and Flavius---Can't help but love them. 
7. Pollux---I just liked him. 
8. Cressida--- Again, I just liked her. 
9. Prim---She didn't grow on me until Mockingjay. 

Gale. Gale I liked sometimes but by the end I hated him. It hurts thinking about what he did but I guess it was a good move. 


Here's my song list for the books, these are just songs that are mostly from Peeta's perspective but ones that I feel fit the mood.  

Underdog by The Jonas Brothers- The Hunger Games
Taking Chances by Celine Dion- The Hunger Games
Stuck in the Moment by Justin Bieber-Catching Fire
That Should Be Me by Justin Bieber-Catching Fire 
Can I have This Dance from High School Musical 3- Mockingjay
Our Song by The Spill Canvas- Mockingjay
Hello by Lionel Richie  


Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger could it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee.
strange things did happen here
No stranger could it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, are you 
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger could it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, are you 
coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen
No stranger could it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
