Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 1, 2013 | 13 Comments

This is my replacement for IMM.   I’ve been super lucky lately to have a bunch of things coming close to me! Last Saturday there was a signing for Doon at my local Books & Co, and Thursday CJ Redwine and Rae Carson came to Columbus (about an hour away)! I’ve been waiting for the Carson/Redwine signing for over a month! In fact, I had some trouble figuring out which one to go to, because there was another Friday in […]

Review: Prodigy by Marie Lu

Review: Prodigy by Marie Lu

Marie Lu’s world building skills never cease to amaze me. She’s so talented at creating a convincing and detailed world! First off, there’s a map. YES. I love when dystopian and high fantasy novels have a freaking map. I’m a very visual person, I need to see the world! Also, there would be parts where she’d get all technical with military things, and it was so realistic! For example: REPUBLIC SHIP DYNASTY | DEPARTURE: 0851 OCEANSTANDARD TIME, 01.13 FROM PHARAOH DOCK,LAS VEGAS, […]

Review: Everbound by Brodi Ashton

Review: Everbound by Brodi Ashton
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on August 26, 2013 | 8 Comments

Make no mistake, I was Team Jack 100% in Everneath. No, I didn’t read Neverfall, and I didn’t care to. I really don’t think it could have made me like Cole because I seriously couldn’t stand him in the first book. Everbound is very full of Cole. I can’t say he’s the main focus, because everything that Nikki does, she does for Jack. But still. There was far too much of him for my tastes, and I certainly didn’t want to find any reason […]
