Studio Producers have still not realized that splitting finales into two parts does not increase the quality of the movie— but it does increase the money in their pocket! And that’s why they’re going to keep doing it. The finale for The Hunger Games series finally here with a strong... meh! The trailers made Mockingjay Part 2 look intense and like a strong finale but the movie itself sort of fell flat. Parts were intense but the intensity falls apart by coincidences, plot holes, and characters acting out of character as soon as you started thinking about it. As soon as Mockingjay started it wasted no time letting the audience know that it would be making Gale into a war hungry butt-face. The book made this same choice but no one I know is a fan of that choice so translating it so faithfully to the screen was not the best choice. It makes me question if the rebels are letting this war get to them or not and if some of them truly had the right intentions. And I feel that was th...

So at the moment I’m at in a bit of a reading slump…. (*cough* a lot of a reading slump). I keep starting books but I just can’t seem to stick with anything… so this post is about EVERY BOOK THAT I’VE STARTED BUT NOT FINISHED IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS! I keep trying to read this book and it’s just not working out. Granted the same thing happened when I first tried reading The Knife of Never Letting Go (that book took me two years to actually finish), but I eventually got into it. I hope that one day I can finish The Ask and the Answer ! After finishing Cinder I immediately went to read Scarlet but then the reading slump began. I had school starting and even though I liked the book I just never had time to read. I hope to get back to it soon. I was super excited for Patrick Ness’s new book that came out this October but as soon as I bought it I had no time to read it. I found parts of it great and parts kind of confusing, but overall I think I’ll get back to it even...

Hello my fellow readers! As most of you probably know, for writers November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short!). This will be my third year participating in NaNoWriMo, and although I don’t normally reach the full 50,000 words, it’s always a good experience. This year I’m doing something different by trying to complete a screenplay for NaNoWriMo. I have the general 3 act structure planned out so far and have begun writing a little. We will see how this goes! Keep Writing… Meagan!

Hello and welcome to Goodreads Monday! A weekly meme hosted by Forever Reading where we feature books that we added to our TBR thinking we’d read them, but we never did. For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon. But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks. Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined. – goodreads.com summary The Sele...
