Blogger Spotlight Feature Update: Name Change

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 9, 2012 | 6 Comments

If you’ve been following Auntie Spinelli Reads, you know about my Tuesday feature, Blogger Spotlight, that I started back in July. There have been a lot of other blogs starting something similar, and the name ‘Blogger Spotlight’ has now been taken by another blog (as well as ‘Book Blogger Spotlight’ by yet another). I’m not too thrilled about it, but it’s not exactly an original name. So, my solution is: Change the name! Simple and easy (not to mention […]

DNF Review: Origin by Jessica Khoury

**WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD** I usually hate to include spoilers in any review, but the reason I put this down is based off of a spoiler, so that’s most of what this review will entail. I think my hopes for this one were much too high before I picked it up. The story was decent. The originality was great. The characters…eh. I love the premise, really I do. A flower that can make people immortal and a perfect being with impenetrable […]

Review: Just for Fins by Tera Lynn Childs

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 5, 2012 | 4 Comments

Just like the first two books in the Fins series, Just for Fins was a cute and fun read! I devoured it all in almost one sitting, and in one day (that doesn’t happen very often!). Lily and Quince are back for another magical adventure, and their relationship is stronger than ever. The romance wasn’t the biggest focus in this book, but their love for each other was obvious in their actions. I love Quince! There was a lot of politics […]
