Domain name and design change!

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 20, 2012 | 6 Comments

I am happy to announce that I now officially host my own domain! I switched to custom domain from blogspot a couple days ago. The blogspot.com address should forward you to auntiespinellireads.com eventually, but right now it is still in the process of switching. This is why you can’t see my GFC widget. It can only be seen from auntiespinellireads.com from now on. Also, after many grueling hours and a little bit too much money spent, I have finally finished re-designing! YAY! I am […]

Speechless by Plagiarism

Or maybe not so speechless. Because I just can’t keep my mouth shut about my opinions…. I have spent the last hour and a half looking over tons of posts about the recent shame committed by Kristi @ The Story Siren, and I am simply taken aback.

Books made into movies and my thoughts on them

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 24, 2011 | 0 Comments

1. The Twilight Saga My thoughts: The movies are nothing compared to the books. And I just want to say… I can’t stand Kristen Stewart. I was very disappointed in their pick for Bella, but oh well. Anyway, now Twilight is some little fan girl craze and the sad part is, most of them probably haven’t even read the books.
