MemberMockingjay (Hunger Games: Book 3), by Suzanne Collins – 398 pages
REVIEW – This book was SOOO sad, and if you enjoyed the first 2, do NOT read this, it takes the happy endings and twists it to a sad oneI don’t know what was going through Suzanne Collins mind when she wrote this, but in some parts it shines, but in others, you just want to cry your eyes out. The authoress seems like a totally different writer in this book, it’s like she lost all hope, so in all, it was a disappointment, sorry Ms. Collins, but it was a let down.

MemberNo Plot? No Problem! by Chris Baty – 166pg
Running Total: 2,452pg
A Review of No Plot? No Problem!
Written by the founder of the famous event, No Plot? No Problem! provides a crash course and field guide to surviving the insanity of National Novel Writing Month. Baty recounts how the event came to be and walks the soon-to-be-novelist through a sketch of the word-loaded month. He pleads the case for crashing out a 50,000-word novel in a month (no matter how terrible it might turn out) and offers tips, strategies, and suggestions for making the most of the challenge. The book paints an interesting, potentially liberating, approach to novel-writing, but the snarky narrative relies on offbeat humor, adult references, and crude language (including one swear word) to make its point. Interesting content, gritty delivery. -
