Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Little to No Romance

Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Little to No Romance
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 13, 2024 | 0 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl Happy (early) Valentine’s Day/Galentine’s Day/Singles Awareness Day! Today’s TTT is a love freebie, and anyone who knows me at all knows I don’t really care for romance in books. There are a few that I love, but they have to be done just a certain way for me to enjoy them. So, for those who are like me and would rather have plot over romance, I wanted to share some […]

2024 Goals & Resolutions

2024 Goals & Resolutions
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on January 31, 2024 | 0 Comments

Looking back at last year’s resolutions Here’s my post from last year! Reading/blogging resolutions Hit 100 books again. NAILED IT! I one upped myself and hit 150! Continue to read different genres. Nailed this one too. My sci-fi and fantasy wedges only accounted for about 70% on my pie chart, which is outstanding for me! Hit 100% ratio on both Netgalley and Edelweiss. I didn’t quite make it. I started the year with 3 books on each platform – and while […]

I’ve posted tips several times over the years, but with YALLfest 2023 coming up in a couple of weeks, I wanted to repost them because I have things to add! This will be my ninth year attending the festival and the tenth anniversary of my very first YALLfest (HOW has it been an entire decade since I started attending?!?!) and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED! It’s always chaotic, but SO. FUN. This festival is non-negotiable in my schedule and I look […]

THIS POST CONTAINS EXPLICIT SPOILERS FOR FOURTH WING. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK, LOOK AWAY CHILD!!   See my original review (I raised my rating to a full 5 stars after my re-read!) I recently re-read Fourth Wing after falling into a massive, hours-long black hole on TikTok looking at theories and small details that many people missed on the first read through. This post builds on some of the theories I saw before my re-read (which told me […]

I tried meal delivery services…and here’s what I thought

I tried meal delivery services…and here’s what I thought
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on March 8, 2023 | 1 Comment

I don’t normally make non-bookish posts, but this was something I really wanted to make a post about! Meal delivery service has been a GAME CHANGER for me. I enjoy cooking again, I love trying new recipes, I’ve experienced new foods, and I eat things I wouldn’t touch before. I discovered that I love zucchini, and I’m eating onions and pork chops (which is HUGE for me, because I’ve always hated any pork that wasn’t bacon or sausage!). I tried […]

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on January 18, 2023 | 0 Comments

I typically hate making New Year’s resolutions because it’s my belief that you should do them throughout the whole year, but I do still love them because it’s good motivation and something to look back on to see if I’ve accomplished my goals! Looking back at last year’s resolutions Here’s my post from last year! READING/BLOGGING RESOLUTIONS Read at least 75 books. NAILED IT!! I finished a whopping 103 books – I haven’t hit triple digits since 2013! I also […]
