WARNING: This book is ADULT book. Do not make the mistake of thinking it is YA, because it is positively, unequivocally, NOT. It contains explicit sexual content, strong language, and loooots of violence. #stabstabstab Never flinch. Never fear. Never forget. Honestly, I don’t think any words I could say could ever do this book justice. But I will try my best! This book absolutely BLEW. ME. AWAY. (Just like I knew it was going to.) If you didn’t already know, […]

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on August 3, 2016 | 5 Comments

Looking back at my July TBR, I did pretty darn good!! I had a very ambitious 11 books on my list for July. I got to 8 of those books, and the other three I had reasons for not getting to: I bumped Disruption to this month for ARC August, we decided to start the buddy read of Everland on the 1st, and the buddy read for Star-Touched Queen fell through so I decided not to read it (I kind of […]

DNF Review: Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on July 18, 2016 | 1 Comment

I’m beyond disappointed in this book. It had SO many glowing reviews, and came highly recommended from several blogging friends.
