Favorite Quotes *6*

So I decided to feature my favorite quotes of Wither on my blog. As I read more books, I will also be adding any other favorite quotes I have with other books that I read. I just love the feeling of having certain quotes transporting me to a part in the Book! ** Some spoilers if you have not read the book!** 
Since I just finished Catching Fire: Suzanne Collins 5 STARS, Here's my review!
  • "So it's you and a syringe against the Capitol? See, this is why no one lets you make the plans." 
  • "You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and not deserve him." 
  • Really, the combination of the scabs and the ointment looks hideous. I can't help enjoying his distress. "Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven't looked pretty?" I say."It must be. The sensation's completely new. How have you managed it all these years?" he asks."Just avoid mirrors. You'll forget about it," I say. "Not if I keep looking at you," he says." 
  • "I always channel my emotions into my work. That way, I don't hurt anyone but myself." 
  • "Gale is mine. I am his. Anything else is unthinkable.
  • "We had to save you because you're the mockingjay, Katniss," says Plutarch. "While you live, the revolution lives." 
  • "I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me." 
  • "The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the mockingjay. The one that survived despite the Capitol's plans. The symbol of the rebellion." 
  • "I'm so sorry," I whisper. I lean forward and kiss him. His eyelashes flutter and he looks at me through a haze of opiates. "Hey, Catnip." "Hey, Gale," I say. "Thought you'd be gone by now," He says. My choices are simple. I can die like a quarry in the woods or I can die here beside Gale. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here and cause all kinds of trouble."  "Me, too," Gale says. He just manages a smile before the drugs pull him back under." 
  • "Technically, I am unarmed. But no one should ever underestimate the harm that fingernails can do. Especially if the target is unprepared." 
  • "Katniss," Gale says softly. I recognize that voice. It's the same one he uses to approach wounded animals before he delivers a deathblow. I Instinctively raise my hand to block his words but he catches it and holds on tightly. Don't," I whisper. But Gale is not one to keep secrets from me.
    Katniss, There is no District Twelve."
     
  • "I guess this is a bad time to mention I hung a dummy and painted Seneca Crane's name on it..." 
  • "It must be very fragile, if a handful of berries can bring it down." 
  • "That if desperate times call for desperate measures, then I'm free to act as desperately as I wish." 
  • "I pull an arrow, whip the notch into place, and am about to let it fly when I'm stopped by the sight of Finnick kissing Peeta. And it's so bizarre, even for Finnick."
  • "I can only form one clear thought.  This is no place for a girl on fire."
  • "I don't care if you got knocked up. I can still rip your throat out" 
  • "What about you?" "Not a clue. I keep wishing I could bake a cake or something." 
  • "Fine. Somebody else can arrange to get the stupid goat knocked up." 
  • "But Mockingjays were never a weapon," said Madge. "They’re just songbirds. Right? "Yeah, I guess so,” I said, But it’s not true. A mockingbird is just a songbird. A mockingjay is a creature the capitol never intended to exist. They hadn’t counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wiled, to thrive in a new form. They hadn’t anticipated its will to live." "What's going on down there, Katniss? Have they all joined hands? Taken a vow of nonviolence? Tossed the weapons in the sea in defiance of the Capitol?' Finnick asks. 
  • "Remember, girl on fire,” he says, “I'm still betting on you." 
  • "And to us, we're more married than any piece of paper or big party could make us." 


Review: Catching Fire : Suzanne Collins


Catching Fire: Suzanne Collins
Synopsis: Goodreads
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the annual competition described in Hunger Games, but the aftermath leaves these victors with no sense of triumph. Instead, they have become the poster boys for a rebellion that they never planned to lead. That new, unwanted status puts them in the bull's-eye for merciless revenge by The Capitol.

Cover:
   I don't really care for the covers in this series!
My Review:
     OKAY!!!! I need to take a breath of fresh air because wow!!! OH WOW!!! Man this book was good. I couldn’t put it down seriously.. I think it took me 8 hours to read it’s that serious I started at 12:00am and took a break from the book at 6:00am to do something dumb like you know sleep lol….  Woke up like @ 10:00am and finished around 12:00pm…WOW WOW OMG that’s all I could say after I finished this book wow.

Okay where to begin on how wonderful this book was. I didn’t think Catching Fire would be as good as Hunger Games but man was I wrong. This book was so freaking suspenseful I was on the edge of my seat because I had no idea what to expect.. I was so nervous for Katniss throughout the whole book. I mean much more violent things happens but it’s done in a way that Im not put off from it but only makes the book better. I don’t know what to say because I don’t want to ruin the book! But I will state something spoilerish** at least I think so..  Okay I had a feeling they were going to throw Katniss back in the games. I just know how much she hated it and how the capitol knew that all to well. I had a feeling about Putlarch the guy with that mockingjay watch…

Omg and the uprisings is crazy! The way they turned district 12 all crazy with security that was so scary and how the book ended spoiler *** there is no district 12*** Wow is all I can say. I can’t even sum up my thoughts as I write this review because of the no sleep and the shock I have after reading this book. This probably is one of my worst written reviews ever but it’s that the book was do good im speechless.
Two things I felt the book was missing is Gale & Prim. Okay since book 1I have been a Gale fan, I wish he was more involved in this book since he only shared the beginning of the first book! That kiss was OMG!!! Man I wish they shared more than that one kiss! Now I know how much Katniss love her sister but I wish I would have seen them boding or something! But besides that I beyond happy with book, it was so good!

If you haven’t read the hunger games read it now it so good I can’t stress this enough!!!!

On My Wishlist.....*3*

On My Wishlist is a great event that Book Chick City runs every Saturday. It's where you list all of the books that you desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming. I thought this was a great way to start off my blog.
     There  are 3 Main books that I have been itching to get my hands on, that for some reason everyone has read. 

Catching Fire: Suzanne Collins
SYNOPSIS: GOODREADS
           Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the annual competition described in Hunger Games, but the aftermath leaves these victors with no sense of triumph. Instead, they have become the poster boys for a rebellion that they never planned to lead. That new, unwanted status puts them in the bull's-eye for merciless revenge by The Capitol. Catching Fire maintains the adrenaline rush of Suzanne Collins's series launch.

This Is the second book in the Hunger Games and I am really excited about it. I really loved the first book it so capturing I guess if I used the word right. I haven't been able to read it because I have to own it. I know it's a weird thing I do I like owning books that I read especially if it's a book I know I will enjoy. I haven't had a chance to buy since this book addiction is expensive!


Clockwork Angel: Cassandra Clare
Synopsis: Goodreads
         Magic is dangerous--but love is more dangerous still. 

When sixteen-year-old Tessa Gray crosses the ocean to find her brother, her destination is England, the time is the reign of Queen Victoria, and something terrifying is waiting for her in London's Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural folk stalk the gaslit streets. Only the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the world of demons, keep order amidst the chaos. 

Kidnapped by the mysterious Dark Sisters, members of a secret organization called The Pandemonium Club, Tessa soon learns that she herself is a Downworlder with a rare ability: the power to transform, at will, into another person. What's more, the Magister, the shadowy figure who runs the Club, will stop at nothing to claim Tessa's power for his own. 

Friendless and hunted, Tessa takes refuge with the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, who swear to find her brother if she will use her power to help them. She soon finds herself fascinated by--and torn between--two best friends: James, whose fragile beauty hides a deadly secret, and blue-eyed Will, whose caustic wit and volatile moods keep everyone in his life at arm's length...everyone, that is, but Tessa. As their search draws them deep into the heart of an arcane plot that threatens to destroy the Shadowhunters, Tessa realizes that she may need to choose between saving her brother and helping her new friends save the world...and that love may be the most dangerous magic of all.



I am so excited to read this book. I have read the the mortal instruments already but I haven't gotten my hands on this book either. I'm dying to meet Will who I keep hearing is funny with his sarcastic and snarky remarks. 


Paranormalcy: Kierston White
Synopsis: Goodreads
        Evie’s always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she’s falling for a shape-shifter, and she’s the only person who can see through paranormals’ glamours.
But Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.
So much for normal.

This book was all the rave when it first came out, but like usual, I am usually late on reading so many things because my booklist grows each and everyday and I wish I had more time and money to read more books. I hope I will get to read this one soon!
