Full list of Life of a Blogger topics. Last week’s topic: Most prized possession This week’s topic: Scents Topic suggested by Anonymous Scents I love My absolute favorite smell EVER is Cool Water cologne! I love that smell so freaking much!! Ed Hardy perfume (the regular, not the Hearts and Daggers crap) – my favorite! Certain food smells; like fresh baked cookies, garlic bread, and 99% of the meals my fiancé makes (he’s an amazing cook!) I’m one of those weirdos that loves the […]

Novel Thoughts: Have You Ever Been Judged Because You’re a Reader?

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 8, 2014 | 13 Comments

Most people are pretty nonchalant about the fact that I’m a reader. When I tell them how many books I read on average, they’re either like “Oh wow, good for you!” or “Holy crap, I wish I could get into reading” or even sometimes just look at me weird and nod like they don’t get it. But every once in a while I’ll happen on someone who is all “reading is dumb why would you do that.” Case in point: […]

Review: Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 6, 2014 | 2 Comments

As far as high fantasies go, this one was fairly well done but it felt very generic. The pacing was fast, making the 432 pages go by pretty quick. The main thing that ruined my enjoyment of this book is that I felt like I’d already read it before: In Throne of Glass.

Review: Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 3, 2014 | 17 Comments

Rating this book was a huge struggle, because I can’t even pin down exactly how I feel about it. As you can see from my Overall Assessment, my ratings are all over the place, so overall I just feel confused about the impression this book on me. I almost didn’t even rate the ‘feels’ category because I didn’t know whether to give it a high feels rating for pissing me off so much or give it a zero for the same reason. […]

Life of a Blogger: Most Prized Possession

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 2, 2014 | 11 Comments

Full list of Life of a Blogger topics. Last week’s topic: Clothing This week’s topic: Most prized possession Topic suggested by Anonymous I like nice things. I tend to hold my things in high regard (probably higher than I should). But, there’s only one object I own that I could never replace: Meet Lamby! (Don’t judge, I was 5 when I named him.) My daddy won him from a claw machine at a bowling alley for me when I was 5 years […]
