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. I thought for sure it was going to be amazing, yet I hated what I did read of it. (I even watched the movie and wasn’t impressed with that, either. The whole “children are the only ones who can save the world” is just too much for me I suppose…) I made it a little past 100 pages or so before […]

Heartbeat Weekly (85): Make Me Read It Wrap Up

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on July 17, 2016 | 0 Comments

What I got this week From the publisher: The Hawkweed Prophecy by Irena Brignull Thank you so much Weinstein Books! <3 Made: Nevernight mask I’m pretty proud of this mask! I got the idea from @readwithmikee (IG). I had been wishing that the publisher had made masks to match, like ACOTAR’s promo, and when I saw Mikee’s beautiful photo of the mask she made, I decided to make my own as well. And I LOVE IT! It was a pain […]

Review: Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on July 15, 2016 | 2 Comments

This was my first Rainbow Rowell book! And I have to say I do see the appeal. This book was pretty adorable! It’s pure fluff, which isn’t something I would typically pick up, but I did enjoy it. It won’t make it to my favorites, and isn’t something that will necessarily stick with me, but it was a cute and fun read. The idea is kind of creepy, but somehow it worked. It was the book version of one of […]

Review: The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

Whuh. Where do I even start? Um. I have mixed feelings about the conclusion to the Raven Cycle. I loved it, but it left me wanting. Yet it was wonderful either way. “I like you an awful lot, Blue Sargent.” MORE BLUE AND GANSEY FEELS. Gahhh, I’m so glad they finally are out in the open! Happy ship, happy happy ship. *makes heart eyes* I loved every single Blue/Gansey moment so much I thought my heart would explode. MORE BLUE […]
