I am not doing my WWW Wednesday this week because everything has virtual stayed the same, so I am dedicating all of my time to top 5 Wednesday! This weekly meme was originally made by Lainey on Booktube (here channel is gingerreadslainey). You can look at the Top 5 Wednesday Goodreads page here.
I am currently rereading Mockingjay before the movie comes out (which is tomorrow in the UK! (which I will not be able to watch as soon as because I promised by friends I would watch it with them next week)) So this is the perfect subject for this week.
Lets do this then!
1. I volunteer as tribute!
This is the moment when Katniss volunteers to be the next tribute in the Hunger Games in place for her sister. This single moment were everything changes and it complete sums up Katniss’ character. Brave, selfless and caring. I just love the scene in the movie as well!
2. Girl on fire
I absolutely adored the Catching Fire movie! It is my favourite out of the three that have came out so far and the scene when they just blow everyone’s minds with their awesome outfits was just so great! I want a dress that sparks into flames as well please.
3. The Mockingjay is born
I. Love. This. Scene. In. The. Book. Just excellent and I love how even Katniss didn’t know what would happen when she twirled or the repercussions of the stunning outfit…
4. The death of Rue
This death was so saddening as I really enjoyed the friendship Katniss had with Rue and how Rue was her first true ally in the Hunger Games (besides Peeta). I think this moment made something click inside of Katniss which made her into a stronger, braver person.
5. Fire is Catching
“Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!”
Katniss is the the Mockingjay, is the heart of the rebellion and the speech in the last book of the series proves that. All through it I was nodding my head along weirdly enough, but I would of definitely been on the rebel side if I was ever on the Capitol’s before the propos.
And there it is! I could of added so many other scenes as well and I just realised I didn’t really include Gale, Finnick or Peeta in any of these moments. But Katniss really is the star of the show!
I’ll write soon and let the odds be ever in your favour.

Sorry but the only thing I like about THG is Jennifer Lawrence. I don’t like the books, or much of the films! 🙂 oops

I came up with “The Fake Hunger Games (FHG)” when I was younger and just made the titles a bit weirder and matched the story (bit like Me and Earl and the Dying Girl!).

I had this conversation with someone earlier, about Finnick being one of my favourite characters but me not being able to remember one noteworthy moment with him. I like the scenes you chose 😀

Well, I remember his fun banter with Katniss and his relationship with Annie. That was actually really sweet, he cared about her like no one else, but there just wasn’t anything quotable in there.

Oh yeah Annie! Their relationship was so adorable! I wish there was more banter between Katniss and Finnick in the book- that would of been awesome and would of lightened the mood a bit.

It would if added another element to everything, to have some normal teenage banter included. And more Finnick is great in general anyway.

If we don’t speak about it, we can pretend it didn’t happen, right? That’s how it works in the book world.
