I loved Mockingjay Part 1.. I too LOVED the song scene. I think all the actors did there very best work in this movie.. Very believable (except for Jen's hair)
Its going to be our midterm examinations next week. Hope I could still read the book I'm reading because I know I will really review a lot since I took full load this term. :( wish me luck that I will pass all my 8 subjects!

I need someone to pick me out a sick day tbr please!!!
I've no idea what to read and it's making me depressed :(
Mod

I do, but I want to read a physical book :) And then read on my Kindle when I go home for Christmas
Mod
Just found out that I have 120 first books in a series in my Kindle...I'm a book hoarder, definitely
Mod
making lemon pudding for the first time. I hope everything goes well!
Sooooo, I watched the final Hobbit movie yesterday and left the cinema with a character obsession...
I'm watching Too Moon Junction---Love this movie!!
I've been at my parents two days. I already wanna go home! They're driving me nuts! So hysterical all the time. Sigh.
I'm having those feelings as well, Irene. Though I haven't even moved out yet. But my goal for next year is to move out, I don't think I can take it much longer
That's my goal for next year aswell Tati - I live with seven other people and this time of year makes me go insane. I feel you guys' pain!
I live just with my mom and my sister (and the dog), and I can't take it anymore. They are all Capricorns, maybe that's why? LOL
I often think about moving out, but then I think, who's going to take care of mom? But she does drive me insane! Good luck Ami and Tati!and merry Christmas to those who celebrate.
Well, my mom is more than able to look after herself, as she isn't even 60 yet. But I need to be able to do things my way and in my own time, rather than have her nagging me all the time about ironing the laundry or doing the dishes
I love living by myself, but it took some getting used to. One example is that I can have dinner when I want. At my parents, it's 6pm every day. At my house, it's somewhere between 5.30 and 8! Haha
I lived by myself for a year, and it was pretty great!And 6 PM is a tad early to have dinner, me thinks

So... What are your Christmas traditions?It's Chrismas Eve which means Christmas here in Denmark. And the rest of Scandinavia..
My family will go to church later, while I make the food (yay!) :D We're having some kind of pork roast, duck roast, potatoes, caramelled potatoes, apples with redcurrant jelly etc. which is more or less the traditional Christmas dinner.
The pork roast:
For dessert we're having a kind of rice pudding with one whole almond in it - the one who gets the almond, gets a present. Also a tradition in Denmark :)
Then we're off to have coffee, tea, sweets etc. Just having a good time! And then we're dancing around the Christmas tree while singing some carols, and then we're having presents. :D
Every year at 4PM there's Disney in telly. It's a collection of all the old short christmas clips :) I think almost every Dane is watching that show, even though it's the same every year!
Dinner is most often served at 6PM :)
In my family, only my uncle and my cousins go to church, nobody else does. At around 7 or 8 PM we're all at my grandparents' house and the "children" (the youngest of us is 12) go for a walk so "Santa" can put the presents underneath the tree. No, nobody thinks it's Santa, but it's still tradition.After opening the presents, we have dinner around 9PM. It's nothing too complicated, salads, rice with almonds and sultanas, and chester (a type of poultry we have here in Brazil, a mix between chicken and turkey). Dessert changes every year, and afterwards there is stollen (a German Christmas "bread"- my family is of German origin), cookies and stuff we get sent from Germany, like lebkuchen.
Oooh Stollen is so good!! :D I really love it! :D
Me too!! Too bad we can only eat it on Christmastime
Agreed! Although... I'm pretty sure you could find a recipe - but then again, it wouldn't be the same if you had it all year :P
I have a recipe, and I bake it every year, but it's hard work LOL Persuading all those dried fruits that the dough is their friend is tough.And if we had it throughout the year, it wouldn't be special anymore, right?
Merry Christmas my fellow Goodreads friends! It's nice hearing your traditions!We don't go to church as a whole because in my family alone, we all have different religions. We're four in the family and we all have each different beliefs. But it isn't a hindrance, anyway. We have lots of food—doughnuts, cakes, ham, BBQ, chicken, sandwiches, hot chocolate... name it! We have countdowns and the relatives come over for games, opening of presents, and we have this yearly tradition of my aunts and uncles throwing money and we all get them as they throw it (kind of like when a celebrity throws his tshirt or whatever in a concert). Then we compare how much we got and joke over bumping each others' arms or hands so the coins or money drop off. It's fun, haha! There are also fireworks and singing along :)
merry Christmas everyone! Loved hearing about your traditions! :D

Divergent is really good! Though there are some parts that I wish it was longer and emphasized.
