Review: Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 15, 2015 | 2 Comments

I still don’t fit. Heart half on earth, half in the clouds. I’m still different from everyone else. There’s still no place I belong. It’s really hard to pin down exactly how I felt about Magonia. There were times when I was asking myself, “What the crap am I reading?” and times when I was actually enjoying it. This book was weird. Really weird. Sometimes good weird, sometimes bad. Sometimes farfetched. There were a lot of things that I just couldn’t […]

Audiobook Review: Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

Posted by Jessi (Geo) on May 11, 2015 | 4 Comments

Going into this, I honestly wasn’t sure I was going to like it. First of all, it was really over-hyped. Which tend to be the kind of books I end up not liking. Second, the negative reviews I read scared me away. A few things I heard about this book that made me not want to read it: Despite the title, it’s not actually about zombies. Or Alice in Wonderland. Gena Showalter tried too hard to make the prose sound like […]

Review: Cress by Marissa Meyer

I’m going to be honest, Cress annoyed the crap out of me. Out of all three of the main characters introduced in this series so far, she is by far my least favorite (with my favorite being Scarlet, of course). She was so naive, and annoying, and immature – I mean, I understand she’s been locked away for a long time, but…ugh. I can only handle so much, okay? Her constant daydreams started grating on my nerves. Not so much the […]

Review: The Novice by Taran Matharu

Tricked by gorgeous cover yet again. *sighs* With the lovely cover and intriguing synopsis, I was sure this was going to be a “me” book. Sadly, it wasn’t. It ended up just being a major letdown, I’m afraid. Honestly, I’ve already forgotten 90% of this book after a few weeks. Thank goodness I took notes! (I should have reviewed this much sooner, obviously. But still.) It wasn’t memorable at all, and definitely didn’t leave any kind of lasting impression on […]

Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

With all of the GLOWING reviews of this book, everyone raving about how amazing it was, how amazing Tamlin was, I was DYING to get my hands on a copy. I would have almost bargained my first born to get my hands on it. I begged Twitter if anyone would let me borrow it. (Thank you Kelly for letting me borrow yours!) And the fact that I didn’t love it like everyone else is kind of soul-crushing. (It has a […]

Mini Review: Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

Thorne reminded me sooo much of Flynn Rider!! (So obviously, I loved him immediately.) Scarlet was so awesome! She is definitely my favorite of the series (I read Cress before writing this review). I loved her snark! She was also fiercely loyal to her friends. I absolutely loved that Scarlet defended Cinder before she met her! The best part of this book was definitely everyone coming together, because it’s what I was waiting for the whole book. The wolf hybrids […]
