Audiobook Review: The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on November 17, 2014 | 3 Comments

The darkest minds tend to hide behind the most unlikely faces. Why oh why did I wait so long to read this book?! I was afraid to pick it up because of the hype surrounding it. (I’m sure you all know by now that I tend to be the black sheep with those kind of books!) But I was pleasantly surprised! The beginning was EPIC. The scene where the orange kid whispers in the PSF’s ear and the PSF lifts […]

Wow. WOW. Book twin Octavia has been telling me forever that I need to read this because it was amazing. She was so right! I was blown away by Bishop’s world. On the surface, it seems like it’s UF. But it’s SO much more than that! It’s hard to really categorize it, honestly. It’s more of High Fantasy than UF because while it’s similar to our world, it isn’t. It’s a made up world. But it doesn’t have a High […]

Life of a Blogger: Unpopular Opinions

Life of a Blogger: Unpopular Opinions
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on November 13, 2014 | 15 Comments

Full list of Life of a Blogger topics. Last week’s topic: Concerts This week’s topic: Unpopular Opinions Topic suggested by Rosie @ Rosie Reads This is somewhat of a tough subject for me. I had to think long and hard to come up with anything at all….what exactly would qualify for an unpopular opinion in the real world? When it comes to books, I’m almost always the unpopular opinion because I tend to be the black sheep. But non-bookish things? That’s hard […]

I have this personal pet peeve. It looks something like this: Pretty cool, right? (Not that I would WANT to read most of these, and many of these I was forced to read in HS and either hated it *coughcough*CatcherintheRye*cough* or didn’t actually read it because I just couldn’t do it *coughcough*GrapesofWrath*cough*) And honestly, if the book is seriously boring, it would make that time double! Looking at the times vs. pages some seem a little off. My pages per […]
