Books I Didn’t Finish in 2017

Books I Didn’t Finish in 2017
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on December 30, 2017 | 6 Comments

I had a terrible year in reading! I was in a massive reading slump for months on end, and during those months I picked up countless books and couldn’t get into anything. I was going through 4-5 books before I found something I could stick to. On the bright side, I rated books much higher because I DNFed the ones I wasn’t enjoying. I may have only read 20 books, but out of those only 3 of them were under 4 […]

My Most Anticipated Releases of 2018

My Most Anticipated Releases of 2018

  Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff – I would sell my firstborn child for this book. I’d anticipate anything by Jay (hence why Obsidio is #2 on this list) but a promise of a totally new and exciting world from him is to DIE for! Obsidio by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman – I can’t get enough of the Illuminae Files, it’s one of my all time fave series! Iron Gold by Pierce Brown – another sequel in an all time […]

Review: All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater

Review: All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater

Donated by an anonymous benefactor, for all the crooked saints. I had been looking forward to this book ALL. YEAR. I was sure I’d love it because it sounded so interesting, but I was also worried for two reasons: The hype. I tend to be the black sheep on over-hyped books Maggie’s writing is very hit-or-miss for me. I loved the Raven Boys and Scorpio Races, and Shiver was okay, but I didn’t like the 2nd or 3rd Wolves of Mercy […]

Just like the title says, this story was a BEAUTIFUL. FRIENDSHIP. If you want a story about a beautiful, unconditional, powerful bond between a cat and a person, this story is for you ;) I freaking LOVED the treecats!!! They were 10000% of why I loved this book so much. I freaking LOVED Climbs Quickly/Lionheart!! Oh my lawd I loved him. *cries* Loveloveloveloooove (how many times can I say love without sounding redundant? But I can’t help it, IT’S TRUE OKAY.) […]

Review: Warcross by Marie Lu

Review: Warcross by Marie Lu

“Everything’s science fiction until someone makes it science fact.” For once, a book that lives up to its hype! I was on the fence about this one, because a) honestly the cover is awful (but it is growing on me), b) I tend to be the black sheep on super hyped books, and c) Marie Lu’s books are hit or miss for me (Legend was great but the finale fell short, Young Elites was amazing but I didn’t like the second […]
