Review: These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on December 2, 2013 | 2 Comments

These Broken Stars is kinda like Shades of Earth meets Titanic, and it’s unlike anything else I’ve read. The world building was by far my favorite part of this book! I loved the feel of the story, and the planet’s energy-based life forms. Their abilities were fascinating! This is a hell I’ve never imagined. And I think I’m going to die here. I didn’t care much for Lilac in the beginning. She’s a spoiled rich brat who’s lived a frilly life without […]

For review: The Nightmare Dilemma by Mindee Arnett In the mail: A mockingjay pin! Finally! Divergent & Allegiant by Veronica Roth, SIGNED (ordered from Blue Bicycle Books) So, after I got home from YALLfest I started kicking myself for not just buying all three books (I only got Insurgent). What if one day Veronica is untouchable, and her books go for $200+ EACH (like The Hunger Games)? Then I will hate myself for not getting one when I […]

Review: The Moth in the Mirror by A.G. Howard

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on November 29, 2013 | 7 Comments

Each time he saw his reflection as of late, he no longer recognized the moth in the mirror. He was incomplete, broken; and he despised it. First of all, I love Morpheus. It’s no secret that he’s one of my favorite book boyfriends (only second to Warner of course). So of course I was going to love this one. I’m surprised by how much I did love it, though, because I’m not usually a fan of novellas. I loved being […]

Meet my kitties!! Gizmo, aka Gizzy: 7 years old. Likes to paw at fabric maniacally until he gets himself underneath of it. Paws at doors and cries like a kitten when I’m on the other side. Sleeps with me every night, flopping against my back. Sits in my lap when I read in my pink chair: I feel like a bad mom for picking favorites, but this little guy is my baby! He’s very special to me! He almost never leaves […]
