Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In the third and final installment of THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy - MOCKINGJAY - Suzanne Collins delivers yet another poignant - albeit much darker - storyline.
The book opens with Katniss now a member of society in District 13 - a district once believed to have been obliterated by the Capitol.
Life in her new district becomes a series of robotic movements, as everyone is required to adhere to a strict schedule, which is imposed to help mandate all resources. President Coin is in charge of the District and with her firm hand, persuades Katniss to become the Mockingjay - the iconic symbol needed to band all district rebels together, to fight back against the Capitol.
Armed with Gale at her side, a list of requirements in order to become the Mockingjay - which includes immunity for all prior Hunger Game tributes, amongst a host of other needs - Katniss accepts the position of her new role as the Mockingjay...and yet again, is thrown into the spot light - constantly being televised to spread encouragement across Panem and trigger the rise of the Rebels to fight back against President Snow and his army of PeaceKeepers.
And in order for President Snow to retaliate against all that the Mockingjay represents, he uses Peeta - who was captured at the end of the last Hunger Games, when Katniss was rescued - against her, controlling everything about him, from what he says, to how he acts. However, a small part of Peeta still exists, as he manages to get out a warning to District 13, about an impending attack - saving the lives of all those in the District.
The story continues with a successful rescue of Peeta, as well as several other captive Tributes - only to find that Peeta has been the victim of being "hijacked"...a process in which the Capitol inflicts severe torture along with chemical enhancements, in order to turn him against Katniss. It now appears that the once loving and admiring Peeta, is gone for good.
Coming to grips with a new Peeta that has so much anger and hate towards Katniss, she opts to leave District 13 and hit the front lines of the Rebel attack in the Capitol.
Facing a constant uphill battle, Collins' flings every assault imaginable, our heroine's way...making it almost impossible to believe that anyone will be left standing. By the last few pages, I found myself upset many times over, at the ease in which she'd killed off those that Katniss loved - however, I will admit, survival of all involved, was never something Collins' promised.
Collins' tale - while sometimes extreme - unfolded a realistic story of what one could expect during war...the bitterness Katniss experiences, along with the harsh reality of how life changes. And all of this kept diligently to the overall theme that she set up from page one of THE HUNGER GAMES.
MOCKINGJAY was beautiful in all it's anger and masterfully written - and I know my stalling to read it, was only because I didn't want it to end. Overall, all three books in this trilogy, have made it into my top 10 of all time. And all three are a definite MUST read, without a doubt.
What's Your Writing Goal?
I recently joined a fabulous on-line writers group: The Write Brained Network, which I'm absolutely loving! Every month, they start a new discussion called WordWatcher's, where anyone who wants to participate, sets a writing goal - be it number of words for the month, by week, day, amount of time, etc. - it doesn't matter how you measure it, only that you do in some way and that you actually try to obtain it. Last month, I started to do this on my own (it was before I'd joined the WB Network). And it wasn't about cramming to get as many words on the page - but instead, it was all about working towards a realistic goal of getting quality words into my WIP (work in progress, for those that might not be aware of that acronym). Setting a goal, striving for it, then finally achieving it - it equates to the same feeling of finally checking off one of your "To-Do's" on the long list of To-Do's (for all of you "list" people, you know exactly what I'm talking about...and I know you're out there!). Besides, who would I be, if I didn't compete against myself? Week of 8.1 - 8.8: 4,548 Either way, I blew my writing goal out of the water...in fact, I pretty much quadrupled it. Considering the huge success August was for me - what is a realistic goal to set for September, you might ask? And with that, I ask you - what's your writing goal for September? What are you going to attempt to achieve this month - and how will you do it? Come on, I know you're thinking about it! I'll post my updates every week, as I go: 9.1 - 9.7: 4,926 - 5,074 short of my weekly 10k goal...but I'll make it up before the end of the month! Are you ready?
So, with that - here are my stats for August:
Week of 8.9 - 8.15: 6,091
Week of 8.16 - 8.22: 15,849 (12,877 completed just between that Saturday, to Sunday night)
Week of 8.23 - 8.29: 8,617
Now granted, the third week of August was something of a phenomenon for me - especially to hit almost 13k in just TWO days! But who am I to argue with my muse, when she finally decides to pop in for a visit? Truly, this is something that's only happened three times this year...to be able to write without wanting to stop. Not even wanting to get up for food - and having to be reminded by my fabulous critique partner, to not forget my day to day job of living (and yes, a BIG thank you to Heidi - my CP - for sending email reminders to actually pry my fingers away from the computer every once in awhile!). It was the thought that I'd become one of "those writers"that finally got me up - well that, and I really had to use the restroom!
Well - again, I'd like to make sure that I'm not just writing down words, just for the sake of writing them down...but instead, I'd like to see if I can continue to keep my muse entertained enough, to stick around for the next several weeks. So, my writing goal for September is going to be 10,000 words / week. Still way up there, as far as I'm concerned...but hopefully obtainable, considering my efforts last month.
9.8 - 9.14:
9.15 - 9.21:
My apologies for falling a little behind on posting this!
As of August 26, 2010, here are the New York Times Top Selling Children's / YA Books.
For the week, Suzanne Collins managed to capture the #1 and #3 slots on the list, with her highly anticipated release of MOCKINGJAY on Tuesday, 8.24. And it will probably be no surprise, when that title pops up into the top 10 for this week - we shall see on Thursday!
On a side note, I happened to see Pitticus Lore's I AM NUMBER FOUR at Border's last week, when I was picking up my copy of MOCKINGJAY. I hadn't actually heard a lot about this title - hadn't been seeing a ton of talk going on about it, either...but as I walked by, something about it caught my attention. And after reading the description on the inside of the jacket cover, I knew without a doubt, it would be something I'd like to read. I have a feeling this is going to be one to keep an eye on - and an author that is surely on the rise. Being #8 on the NY Times Best Seller list, surely doesn't hurt, either?
I will continue to post the NY Times top 10 for Children's / YA - not only because I love to watch how all of the titles toggle back and forth for position - but also to keep the dream alive that I will someday, be on this list!

If you aren't a fan of So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD), you might just be after seeing this video clip.
Alex is currently competing for this year's title and is a classically trained ballet dancer - and he's absolutely amazing to watch in his natural surroundings. However, what would the show be, if they didn't shake things up a bit? This week, Alex was paired up with All-Star season 4 - 2nd place finisher, tWitch - who just so happens to specialize in freestyle / hip hop dancing.
Performing what's known as a Nappytabs hip hop choreographed routine, watch what it truly means, to be out of your element...and what happens, when you actually realize, that you can do anything.
