Early Review: Eve and Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 14, 2012 | 6 Comments

Eve and Adam was a bit strange at times, but I loved the writing style because it was quirky and engaging. There was humor at frequent intervals (and some innuendos) and the prose held my interest even when there wasn’t really anything exciting happening. It was fairly short, so it was a quick and easy read. Evening was a solid lead. She was smart and witty and there was nothing she did in the book to annoy me, which is […]

Review: The Unquiet by Jeannine Garsee

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 12, 2012 | 8 Comments

This book was totally creepy! It grabbed my attention right from the beginning and refused to let go. Suspenseful and chilling, I was on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, wondering what would happen next. I just want to get something off my mind right now before I go any further: I don’t know what’s up with killing felines in books lately, but it really needs to stop. It doesn’t add anything to the story except outrage (for […]

Review: Struck by Jennifer Bosworth

When you’ve been struck by lightning as many times as I have, you start to expect the worst pretty much all the time. With an opening line like that one, needless to say I was hooked immediately! The pacing was quite fast, and with all of the events happening I was enthralled and wanted more! I didn’t really know what was happening – who are the Seekers/Followers? What’s the deal with this Prophet guy? What’s really going on here? But I wasn’t confused, […]

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 […]
