Seeker by Veronica Rossi Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 11, 2017 | 2 Comments

No second book syndrome here, folks! Wowza! Seeker was just as explosive as Riders was! “Real gold is the value of truth. It’s friends you respect who respect you back. It’s what we have – you and me. That’s real gold.” My favorite part about this book – besides the horses, of course – is the very strong sense of family that the group of Riders and Daryn have going for them. They literally risk their lives to look for […]

Review: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

This book was SO. BEAUTIFUL. Should I expect anything less from Laini Taylor? It was so very much like Daughter of Smoke and Bone, which I loved so much – beautiful, strange, and enchanting – but also so very different! I highly recommend both of them to anyone and everyone, especially if you love fantasy. First of all, that title! I’m going to be honest, I didn’t know much at all (okay, pretty much nothing except it was by Laini […]

New(ish) Candle Business! (which I keep meaning to talk about)

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on March 8, 2017 | 0 Comments

I have been meaning to make this post ever since I started back in October – it was originally a “where I’ve been post” because this is 1/2 of the reason I disappeared (and kind of fell off the face of the planet) for a couple of months. (The other 1/2 is my new library which I will get to in a separate post!) Back in fall last year, I was spending a FORTUNE on bookish candles. THE OBSESSION IS […]
