Review: The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 16, 2013 | 17 Comments

I’ve been meaning to read this one for quite some time now; I’d been really excited to dive into this story, as there was a lot of hype about it when it was a newer book. I met Rae at a signing not too long ago, and thought she was pretty awesome. So it makes me very sad to say that this one wasn’t really my cup of tea. It was slow, painfully slow, in the first half. I was […]

This is my replacement for IMM. I had lots of fun at the Sarah J. Maas signing in Cinci this past Thursday! She was so adorable and awesome! I also got to see Amanda @ Confessions of a Bookie Monster again. Woop! There’s a video below if you’re interested enough to hear the whole panel, but since it’s super long I’m going to do a quick recap: Sarah talked about how she started off writing on fanfic sites and […]

I was sure I was going to love this one. I mean, come on – time travel?! How can that not be amazing? I’ve always been fascinated by time travel stories. But sadly, this one fell a bit flat for me. I really struggled in the first half. If I had to rate this book by each half, it’d probably be 1-2 stars in the beginning and 4 stars at the end. I’m glad I stuck with it! The world […]

Review: 3:59 by Gretchen McNeil

Big thanks to HarperTeen for providing a review copy! I had the same problem with this one that I had with Ten: TOO MUCH DRAMA. I mean, I understand that they’re in high school, but jeez! High school is NOT like reality TV. Either that or I just had a ridiculously tame high school. To be honest, this could have been a 4 star book for me if it hadn’t been for the characters. The originality was outstanding, and I […]
