Top 5 Wednesday - Rebellion Groups

   Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Lainey & Mindy. Check out the Goodreads page here!

   This week we are talking about Rebellion groups and honestly this si a really hard one. But, let's try and find 5. As always, these are in no particular order.

   #1 Mockingjay - The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
   To many spoilery spoilers could happen if I explained this one in more detail so let me just tell you one thing: they are awesome. Read the books. Do it. And then watch the movies.

   #2 Real Life vs. Digital School - Awaken Trilogy by Katie Kacvinsky
   In Maddie Freeman's future America everything is done digitally. School, shopping, socializing and even going for a walk or ballroom dancing. No one meets in real life anymore. But, there is a movement which wants real life back and those guys are amazing. This Trilogy totally holds out a mirror to show us just how many things are currently going wrong and how it could possibly end up one day. Amazing.

   #3 Anti-Slating - Slated Trilogy by Teri Terry
   Slating is a process done to teenagers before they turn 16, I believe, when they show criminal behavior. What it does? It erases everything. Your personality, your memories and everything else. Once you are slated it's all gone and you have to learn everything once more. It's horrible. But, luckily there are people out there who stand up against it and the way this story unfolds over the trilogy is absolutely amazing.

   #4 Rebels vs Rose - Hunting Freedom Trilogy by Alice Reeds
   The Rose is the new government which was set up 44 years ago after the world went to hell during war. The Rose provides it all: safety, education and a place for everyone to live and work at. It might all seem nice and dandy but there are other out in the shadows who know that reality is not quite as pretty as it might seem on the outside.

   #5 Dumbledores Army - Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
   The one is probably the most obvious choice on this list because how could I not include this iconic group of students who stood up against that wicked woman, Umbridge, and gave the students of Hogwarts until the last book.

NaNoWriMo

  Hey guys!

  It's almost November and you, may or may not, know what that means.... IT'S NANOWRIMO TIME! I'm sure many of you are asking yourselves now "What the hell is she talking about?", so let me explain.

   NaNoWriMo is the National Novel Writing Month where you get 30 days to write a (at least) 50.000 word novel. You have time from November 1st till 30th, where between the 25th and 30th you can upload what you wrote onto their page so they can check if you really wrote 50.000 or more words, and if you did you are a winner. As NaNoWriMo winner you get a lot of different possibilities of what you can do: many pages like lulu.com or createspace.com, which are pages that make becoming a self-published author happen, offer discounts on their services and many more.
   But, if you don't succeed or you are not happy with what you wrote, it's okay. Don't delete it or be sad, you tried which is already a huge step into the right direction, besides maybe in a month or two you'll read over your work again and come to the conclusion that it is not as bad as you thought.
   This year I'm going to participate for the first time (SO excited). I'm basically going to try and write my second novel for my "Hunting Freedom"-Trilogy, which is going to be a huge challenge as I have to manage not only writing at least 50.000 words but also school and all. But, I will still try and I encourage all of you, who like writing or have thought about writing a book, to also participate and who knows maybe in November you will write your first best-seller.
   If you decide to participate, you can add me as "writing buddy", which doesn't really give me anything besides having you as "writing buddy".

   Besides that, I also wanted to thank everybody who showed interest in my novel, Into the Unknown, till now and I want to encourage you to go and check it out if you didn't do it yet, especially if you are a fan of dystopian societies and such.
