Review: Slasher Girls and Monster Boys Anthology

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on April 8, 2016 | 0 Comments

This was my first experience reading an anthology all the way through. I’ve only ever picked up one other anthology before, and I think I flipped through and read the one story I wanted to read, ha. But it was pretty good! There were a few stories I loved and a few stories I didn’t like at all, so it evened out. I had trouble connecting to most of the stories due to the short length of them. That’s really […]

There was a good chunk in the middle that was downright boring because of that. I think some of that could have been condensed and the story […]

Audiobook Review: Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on April 1, 2016 | 1 Comment

This book is kind of an audio review, and kind of not. I started it via audio, and finished it by reading the rest. Confession: I started this book two years ago and never finished. Not because I didn’t like it, but because my Audible app screwed up and I lost my spot in the audiobook. I had NO idea where I was at, so I just…never picked it back up again. The sad part is, I was really enjoying […]
