Hunger Games Movie Companion and Tribute Guide are out!

Oh before you look any further let me say this...

**** SPOILER ALERT**** 

Anywhoo, while I was waiting to get my Breaking Dawn part 1 DVD last Friday I saw that the Hunger Games Illustrated Movie Companion and Tribute Guide were out.  
Whoop whoop!

So yes, I picked them up.  

I had to!  We only have 40 days until the movie comes out and I loved these books!  

I don't LOVE them as much as Twilight, but its a great story.  Nice easy read, and if you have NOT read them yet you soooo need too!  

Anyway, the Movie Companion and the Tribute Guide are awesome! They really complete my set. Yay!

 I think what I love most about the movie companion is the fact that, and here is the spoiler part, we get to see a sneak peek of the costumes the citizens of the Capital wear!  I was super duper excited to see this page in the book! 

I just love all the bright colors which is how I pictured them all to look like anyway when I was reading the series.  
Love it.  
I cannot wait to see this all on the big screen though!

The Tribute Guide is very cool as well because it has really nice full page head shot of all the Tributes, and a small bio on them as well.  (Very small, but its there.)  


Plus it talks about the weapons, with photos, the training center, the remake center and much, much more. After reading through both of these I feel like I am ready for the movie to come out now.  The story is once again fresh in my head, and it's always nice to have a fresh mind. Ha ha, no comments on that one please. lol 

Wow, look how made-up Katniss and Peeta are.  I am sure that wont last long. Eeek!

At the end of the Tribute Guide you'll see this sad photo of Katniss and Cinna.  If you have read the books you know what happens next.  *Tear Tear*.  

Anyway, they are out, and I feel if you can pick them up on sale its worth it.  Personally, I like having a full set to the books series I love or like a lot, so it was worth it to me.  

My next purchase will be the MockingJay Pin, and that will be it.  I am NOT going to start a Hunger Games Corner.  I am good!  Twilight is it for me.  Anyway I will keep ya posted if I am able to pick up that bad boy... =o)

  Here is another fantastic item I found a few months back that I just love.  I think when I bought it I just put a bid for it, and only paid about $15.  Not much more though I think.   

I try to be thrifty with my Twilight purchases. 

It's beautiful though and it makes a wonderful addition to the rest of my Twi-Treasures I currently have.   I think what I will do is use it more like a tiny scarp book or a post card holder.  Not sure yet.  

I kind of just like having it on my bookshelf for now.  Looks good next to one of my many sets of the Saga anyway. =o)

Oh yes it says 2011 and yes 2011 is over, but the journal does go until 2012 however, its blank and I bet I could, if I wanted too, make it for 2013.  Just not sure if I want to mark it up that's all.  I know, I know I said in an earlier post I like to use my Twi-Treasures, but just not sure if I will use this one. =o)

 This item did take a while to get to me however, once I contacted the seller he was very nice about the delay.  He told me he should have e-mailed me sooner, but he was working on including a surprise for me, so that was the reason for the delay.  
You see I am new to Ebay, damn Iphone app., so the wait didn't bother me as much as I thought I was getting ripped off ya know.  However, I wasn't getting ripped off, and I didn't get ripped off, and I like Twi-surprises so I was ok with the wait.

Anyway, it was worth the wait though because the seller, Jason, included this kind note with a whole page of Twilight stickers for me too.  I thought that was a pretty nice surprise indeed.  Thanks Jason.  Now make some 2013,2014 and 2015 books will ya!?  lol

Oh and just so you know buyer beware.  I do not know these people or work for them. I am only sharing what I have discovered in my TwiShopping travels. 

So I am discovering I am more of a shopaholic then obsessed with Twilight however, to some of my friends and family they feel there is no fine line for me between the two "problems" as they like to call it.  I beg to differ with them because I like to call it a "HOBBY",  but whatever I enjoy both shopping and Twilight and yes combining them might seem like I need to go rob one of the Mints, however its all good and with each find comes the joy of sharing with all of you.

On that note, here is another very cool Twi-find that might be a must have for your Twi-heart too.  =o)
Its a Twilight postcard stamp set, and its very TwiTastic!  I love that fact that its made out of all wood. Classy I must say.   I am not sure if its handmade, probably not, but it feels that way.  The nice thing about it the fact that it's not plastic or something Summit shoved at us in there desperate attempt to increase their pockets even more. 

 No Summit doesn't make us buy any of their products, but I am sorry did you all not see some of the crap they came out with with BD1?  Some of our beloved characters looked a mess.  To me , Carlisle looked like a tool with his side combed, orange hair of his or how about the book bags, wallets and water bottles?  Ugh... I have NOT bought any of those items and probably will not until they are like .50 cents or free.  I just feel other fans or companies out there do a better job and or have more creative idea's when it comes to Twilight because they put there TwiLove into the items they are making.  

Sometimes it shows is all. =o)

This stamp set even comes with 24 Twilight post cards as well.  However, I am not so sure if I can bring myself to use the post cards.  The are way too pretty.  However, one of these days I will use the stamps though.  

This I know for sure.  

Trust me I am not one of those who buys a Twilight Treasure, and never ever uses it.  I love to use, wear and display my TwiTreasures.  I am proud of my "hobby".  LOL  
I'm very dedicated to keeping the SPARKLE alive.  
I have no issues or hesitations as to what others think about it or how they perceive me either.  
Because I LOVE TWILIGHT!  =o)

Anyway, its a beautiful set up, and I had no issues receiving it from China which was kind of cool if you think about how far back writing/calligraphy and art work dates back to begin with.  I like to think I am making purchases from other Covens all over the world anyway.  Silly I know, but fun.

If you buy the set let me know how you like it.  I would love to find out.  Enjoy!
