Newest Crafting Endeavor: Custom Funko Pops!

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on March 13, 2017 | 5 Comments

I’ve seen a few custom funkos out there that inspired me to make these (see @pieraforde’s custom Mia & Mister Kindly, @bookstorefinds custom Mia, Tric, & Mister Kindly, & @howlingpages custom Manon Blackbeak) and I had soooo much fun with it! It’s definitely something I want to try again in the future! How I did it Here’s the funkos I used for my three customs: Mia: Leeloo head, Elise body Mister Kindly: Artemis Manon: Bella head, Evie body Me: Elise head, Hermione […]

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 […]

Horror October: YA Horror Books (are lacking)

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 12, 2016 | 3 Comments

As I was looking for books I wanted to read for Horror October, I realized something: There’s not very many YA horror books. I’m not talking “horror” stories that are about cute ghosts or are all romancey and shit. I’m talking REAL. HORROR. Gory, homicidal, disturbing, you’re-going-to-die, HORROR. There are only two books I’ve ever read that were labeled as horror that I actually consider to be real horror: The Monstrumologist and Lockdown. Both were totally dark and twisted, and […]

Horror October: The Show That is Slowly Growing on Me

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 8, 2016 | 4 Comments

I am a very reluctant watcher of this show. I tried it for the first time right after finishing Dexter (TO WHICH NOTHING COULD EVER COMPARE), and I didn’t like it at all. [side note, totally unrelated: I also tried the other show that Michael C. Hall plays in right around this same time – Six Feet Under – AND I JUST COULDN’T DO IT MAN. He is and always will be Dexter and to see him as anything else now […]

Sometimes Giving an Author a Second Try Pays Off

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on September 7, 2016 | 3 Comments

This post is inspired directly from Paper Fury’s post Do You Give Authors’ Works Second Chances? Cait’s post posed a fabulous question, and when I went to comment on it I realized – there’s a lot of authors that have written books I love as well as books I hate. And coincidentally enough, when I stumbled on her post I was in the middle of Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson; which is significant because I love that series and I […]
