The Hunger Games is an amazing book trilogy which I have read in 4 days. I know. When I like something, I become obsessed with it so I have to read on. After reading the books, I recommended it to all my friends but they seem not very enthousatic about it, but I don't blame them because I was once one of them. At first I thought it was like Twilight or Harry Potter and I have had an other picture in mind when I read the synopsis (I didn't like the idea of futurism). But The Hunger Games is much more than that! It's about sacrificing, love, friendship, betrayal, power, justice, war..

The Hunger Games is an event which is organized once a year by the Capitol. The Capitol is a place where people live in wealth while the Districts live in poverty. Like I have said, it's a story which takes place in the future, in North-America to be exactly. North-America is now Panem. A land which is separated in twelve Districts. Each district has its own 'thing'. Like coal, luxury goods or electricity. Each year one girl and one boy from every District must participate the Hunger Games. On the Reaping day, all the girls and boys have to stand in front of the Justice Hall. That's the moment where someone from the Capitol picks a name out of each bowl. The principal is Katniss, a 16 years old girl from District 12 (the poorest District). She lives with her sister Primrose and her mother near the forest where she illegal hunts for her family. Her father died in a mine so she has to take care of her sister and mother. When Prims name drops at the Reaping, Katniss steps forward to volunteer as tribute. From then, the adventure has begun. Katniss discovers how cruel the Capitol is but she discovers other (great) things as well.

I RECOMMEND this book to you all!! I have to learn to stop prejudice something because mostly it turns out great (like Vampire Diaries..). There is also a movie made from the first book which premieres on 21 March in the theatres in the Netherlands. I'm so excited!! I have high expectations as well haha. But I have no doubt that it will be a bad movie because the trailer of the movie and soundtrack list looks great! Birdy, Taylor Swift, The Civil Wars, The Secret Sisters and much more has written a song for the movie. Oh, when you have read the books, you should definitely listen to this song from Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars. It's called Safe & Sound. It decribes the book in a nutshell and you can place the song in various scenes in the first book.

What are your thoughts? Have you read the trilogy as well?

FAVOURITE CLOTHING ITEM: Zara metallic jumper

I bought this glittery jumper at ZARA a few weeks ago. I really love this colour en the golden details. Luckily it suit me perfectly, just how I want it to be since the jumper is size L. Don't you have a clothing item as well that you want to wear it twice a week but you have to resist that?

FAVOURITE BEAUTY PRODUCT: Bourjois Healthy Mic Serum Foundation

After a lot of recommendations I decided to buy this foundation of Bourjois. I don't like to wear foundation often 'cause I'm afraid that it's not the right colour or the effect is too cakey. But this product is so good! I love the colour, it looks very natural and you don't have to use much. Oh, I like the smell as well. It's not chemically or so.


FAVOURITE SONG: Birdy - Shelter

Since this song was played in a scene of The Vampire Diaries I have been completely hooked. It's so beautiful! I also can't believe that the girl, whose singing this song, was just 12-year old when she won the American Idol. Such a talented girl!

FAVOURITE TV SERIE: The Vampire Diaries

The Vampire Diaries is such a great serie about a girl whose loved by two vampires (brothers). I know you might think it's just another sci-fi serie but this is so different from others. EVERYTHING is good about this serie, the actors, the music, the scripts, the story lines and everytime when I watch a new episode I have to watch it twice 'cause a lot of thing has happened. It's so much better than Twilight. Vampires in Twilight shine in the sun while vampires in TVD burn in the sun. I can tell you, this show is not about vampires (okay, and witches and werewolves) but it's about the impossible love. A tip, don't watch it when you have to learn for your exams or mid-terms because every episode has a HUGE and unpredictable cliffhanger. Click here for the promo of season 1!
