Hey, hey!
I finished the Hunger Games a few weeks ago and decided to do a little (or big) review!
I hope you dig it!:
Sometime in the future North America will be seperated into 13 Districts, all ruled by the Capitol. These Districts are called Panem. District 13 is destroyed, after an attempt of rebillion against the Capitol. After this, as a chance of revenge, the Capitol decide to inflict the 'Hunger Games' on the 12 Districts. The Hunger Games is a t.v. program were 2 children go from each district to an arena, where they then fight to death. Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen year old girl, was out hunting in the woods (which is illegal) with her friend Gale, the morning of the reaping. They made their way back to the square, where they parted to get ready for the reaping. Katniss's sister, Primrosw is already dresses and ready to go. She is 12, it is her first reaping. Katniss's mother gave her a dress and they set out to the square. Effie Trinket, the 'picker' of District 12's tributes is up on stage along with the mayor. Haymitch, their trainer, also past victor of the Hunger Games, comes up on stage drunk. They stand in front of the two glass balls that hold the boy's and girl's names.'Ladies first!' Effie twitters and lunges towards the first bowl.She swirls her hand in their and takes out a peice of paper. 'Primrose Everdeen!' she announces. Everybody gasps and Prim, Katniss's sister, heads for the stage. Katniss shouts 'I volounteer! I volounteer as a tribute!' Worried eyes from the crowd watch her as she climbs onto the stage. She looks around her, it could be the last time she ever sees this place again.The boys are next and Effie pulls out a name. 'Peeta Mellark'Katniss gasps. What next?Let's skip to the arena 'cause this review is already a mile long! Okay. In the arena Katniss is in a tree. She is an excellent tree climber. She is lying extremely still. Then the careers walk along. (You'll find out who they are in the book) Katniss hears Peeta's voice: 'Okay, we find that little girl, Rue and then we seek out Katniss'. 'Yeah' the Careers agree.Ok I'm skipping along again because I'm running out of time :S.Katniss finds Rue and they become partners. Rue reminds Katniss of Prim. They scan trees for green wood to trick the careers so they can steal their food. Katniss runs off to the lake to hide and Rue starts setting up the fires. 1, 2 Katniss counts them. But where's the third? She runs off to find Rue. She finds Rue with a spear in her chest. Katniss sings to her and covers her in flowers. The helicopters fly off with her.Not long later, the capitol make an anouncment. 'There will be two victors this year!' they anounce.Katniss, long awaiting this, starts to call out 'Peeta! Peeta! where are you?' She finds him but he is badly injured. She nurses him and they start up a supposedly 'fake' romance.

My 10 Beauty Secrets
I know this has nothing to do with my blog but who cares? These are my ten beauty secrets to help you look and feel gorgeous!!!!
1. Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day. If you can't reach 8, aim for six. This reduces the chances of acne.
2. Always shower after being in contact with chlorine. Chlorine is your hairs enemy. It makes your hair brittle and greasy.
3. Moisturize your hands, feet and face every day. Your hands and feet are working all day so you have to take care of them. If you have dry, oily, combination or any type of skin you need to make it perfect!!!!!
4. When hair is wet, comb with a 'pick' or wide tooth comb. Using a brush breaks your delicate hair.
5. Don't wash your hair everyday this will make it dry.
6. Makeup isn't essential only use a little this will not dry out your skin.
7. Keep treats to one day only. Eating lots of sugar and caffeine can only lead to obesity, fillings and illness.
8. Get at least eight hours of sleep each night. I aim for about ten but still have bags because I don't have a sleep schedule.
9. If you don't have time to shower but your hairs greasy and you stink use dry shampoo and your favourite body spray. Make sure you find time to shower though!!!
10. Believe you beautiful!!! If you do you will appear more confident and look better!!!
No matter what size, shape or race you are your beautiful! It could be on the inside or on the out. Just remember that no amount of beauty will cover up a cold heart.

I Was Jane Austen's Best Friend
Heyyyyyy!! I'm back, it's been five days and I'm back with my first review!!!!!
Okay. It's called 'I Was Jane Austen's Best Friend' (it's based in the 1700's) and it's by Cora Harrison published by Macmillan's Children's Books last year (2010). I always want to know who published it because then I can look it up on their website. :).
Jenny Cooper hates her school and when her best friend (and loyal cousin) Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice is written by her) gets life risking sick she has to do something!!! She sets out at midnight with a letter to Jane's mother but she meets a dashing young man and that's when the story gets into a twirl!!! The dashing young man escorts her to the inn where the post is collected and escorts her back to school. Jane's mother comes and takes both girl home. But all Jenny is thinking is 'Will I ever see him again?'.
Then when Jenny meets Jane's handsome (and witty) brothers and things get even more complicated. Then Jenny finally gets invited to her first ball. Things are spicing up! Henry, one of Jane's brothers, is extremely good looking and when he kisses Jenny that night she doesn't know what to do!!!!
Who will she marry? Will Cousin Eliza help? Will she EVER get a new gown? What about her sister-in-law Augusta? Find out in I Was Jane Austen's Best Friend!
Thankyou for reading comment down below and tell your friends!
