Review: The Farm by Emily McKay

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 21, 2014 | 4 Comments

This book was just….there. It wasn’t bad necessarily, but it wasn’t really all that good either. I felt NOTHING while reading. Absolutely nothing. No intrigue, no disgust (and there were plenty of disgusting things), no emotion whatsoever. Not good. I think that’s what ultimately scored such a low rating for this book is that I didn’t give a crap about the story or the characters. Even when things were actually happening I didn’t care. There was no anticipation, no suspense. The whole abductura […]

Review: The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 17, 2014 | 2 Comments

This was a tad difficult to rate. It was mostly enjoyable while I was actually reading, but now that I’m not it’s….fading. While there were things happening, I don’t really feel like all that much happened. It seemed like a bunch of running around and avoiding getting killed, with no real plot. We don’t find out what Dai’s purpose is (or what the point of the numbers is) until closer to the end. There was a lull around 20% or so where […]

Full list of Life of a Blogger topics. Last week’s topic: Scents This week’s topic: Favorite toys Topic suggested by Bubblez @ Amourbow Favorite toys growing up My stuffed animals, including Lamby (who I talked about in my Life of a Blogger: Most Prized Possession post). This is embarrassing, but…Barbies. Yep. I was one of those girls. Now look at me, haha! In my defense, I did get to the stage where I wanted Hot Wheels and Legos more than Barbies. And […]
