Books I didn’t finish: November 2012

Books I didn’t finish: November 2012
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on November 30, 2012 | 0 Comments

I’m afraid to say that this month has been a God awful reading month for me. I’ve started at least 4 books that I haven’t seen all the way through. I don’t think I’ve ever had more than 1 a month. As of today, I seriously haven’t finished a book in SEVENTEEN DAYS. That’s extremely bad (for me, anyway). I don’t think I’ve gone more than a few days without finishing a book in over a year. At least since I […]

DNF Review: Zom-B by Darren Shan

DNF Review: Zom-B by Darren Shan

**Caution: May contain spoilers** Let me just say: This synopsis is NOT the one I read. If I had read this one, I probably wouldn’t have even bothered with this book. Despite it’s short length, I didn’t actually read all of it. I made a valiant effort. Really, I did. But the lead character, B, was such a douchenozzle that I simply couldn’t go on. I usually don’t rate things I don’t read all of, but I think I read enough […]

I’ve been dying to get my hands on this book for months, and had to wait patiently (not) for my library to order it. Then I got it, and I was nervous to finally read it, because what if I got my hopes up too high? What if it wasn’t worth the hype? There were VERY mixed reviews on Goodreads, after all. Either love or hate, with almost nothing in between. I am extremely happy to say that I fell […]

Review: Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor

I am a priestess of a sandcastle in a land of dust and starlight. I don’t even know where to start! This book rocked my socks off, guys. It was just as good as (if not better than) Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Laini’s writing is dark and beautiful and paints a vivid picture of her stunning world. Days of Blood and Starlight enchanted me! I love Karou! I liked her even more in this book because you get to see […]

Oh my GAWD, where do I even start? First off, Karen is my FAVORITE. AUTHOR. EVEERRRRR. Seriously, guys. She could probably write a book about paint drying and I’d love the crap out of it. She has a fabulous talent for writing riveting stories. Iced was no different! It gives me peace of mind to go into a story knowing for sure that I’ll every minute of it. “You’ll never be just anything, Dani. A tsunami can never be ‘just’ […]

Greta and the Goblin King Blog Tour: Review + GIVEAWAY

It took me a while to get into this one. To be honest, I didn’t really like it much at first and wasn’t sure I’d even be able to participate in the tour because I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish it. But I’m glad I did! The book improved vastly as it developed and I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I think this series has great potential. My main issue was the inability to connect. […]
