Review: Death Sworn by Leah Cypess

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 22, 2014 | 12 Comments

This is a hard review to write, because this book inspired absolutely nothing for me. No emotion, no interest, nothing. Overall, this book was just ‘meh.’ Maybe even less than that. It’s not that I hated it, but I didn’t really like it either. This book was just….there. It won’t leave a lasting impression and I probably won’t remember anything about it a month down the road. Honestly, it was a struggle to finish it. The characters were flat and I couldn’t […]

Life of a Blogger: Introvert or Extrovert?

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 20, 2014 | 18 Comments

See the full list of topics HERE. Last week’s topic: Plans for the future I think as readers, many of us are introverts. We’d rather stay home on a Friday night and read a book rather than go out and party. Am I right? So, am I an introvert or extrovert? For the most part, I am an introvert. 9 times out of 10 I am much more content staying in than going out. But, just because I’m an introvert […]

Novel Thoughts: Unique Names in Literature

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 19, 2014 | 38 Comments

This topic was inspired by Angelfall, which had a name that annoyed me: Raffe. It was meant to be pronounced “rah-fee” (as in, short for Raphael), but every time I saw it my brain automatically read it as”rafe” (rhyming with waif). It bugged the crap out of me!! I had to make an actual effort to pronounce it the correct way, and it made my eye twitch. With some books, it works. Actually, I quite like unique names, because it […]

Review: The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 18, 2014 | 15 Comments

“The Winner’s Curse is when you come out on top of the bid, but only by paying a steep price.” It’s no secret that I had been DYING for this book for months. It was THE most anticipated 2014 release for me! I was kinda worried that the Hype Monster would strike again, that I would be disappointed because my hopes were sky high. But I was pleasantly surprised! It didn’t blow me away, but I still loved it! This […]
