Posted by Jessi (Geo) on February 13, 2018 | 3 Comments

I am a HUGE sucker for strong non-romantic relationships in books! My favorite of course is a bond between a human and (sentient) animal, but I really love when a guy/girl friendship is super strong and 100% platonic. It’s almost guaranteed these days that any male introduced to a female protag (or vice/versa) is going to be a love interest. GUYS AND GIRLS CAN BE JUST FRIENDS, PEOPLE. I’ve also included a guy/guy bromance and a girl/girl womance because I […]

Books I Didn’t Finish in 2017

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on December 30, 2017 | 6 Comments

I may have only read 20 books, but out of those only 3 of them were under 4 […]
