Review: The Cage by Megan Shepherd

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 25, 2015 | 4 Comments

This book was refreshingly unique! I’m kind of glad I steered away from any reviews before picking this one up. I honestly didn’t really have any idea what to expect because I hadn’t read the synopsis since I added the book way back when it was put on Goodreads. So I really had no idea what it was going to be about! I definitely wasn’t expecting an alien book. I loved that, though! In the beginning you really have no […]

Mini Review: The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkoski

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 18, 2015 | 2 Comments

I absolutely loved The Winner’s Curse. I’m sad to say that some of the magic was lost for me somewhere between that book and this sequel. I felt like there was nothing happening plot-wise. This book is a romance. Nothing more. The entire story was solely Arin and Kestrel pining for one another, and the hardships they faced that kept them apart. And yeah, it sucked, but I didn’t connect to this one nearly as much as I did to the first […]

Review: Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 15, 2015 | 2 Comments

I still don’t fit. Heart half on earth, half in the clouds. I’m still different from everyone else. There’s still no place I belong. It’s really hard to pin down exactly how I felt about Magonia. There were times when I was asking myself, “What the crap am I reading?” and times when I was actually enjoying it. This book was weird. Really weird. Sometimes good weird, sometimes bad. Sometimes farfetched. There were a lot of things that I just couldn’t […]
