About Me
Name's Jessi...but you can call me Geo. I'm a stubborn and independent 24-year-old and have no idea what to do with my life, but that's okay. Cat lover. Music lover. Fluent in sarcasm. I love to read because it's how I escape reality. I could recommend books til I'm blue in the face.

Reviews:
This week's TGIF question: Reading blues! We all get them from time to time. What helps you overcome those reading slumps when nothing seems to grab your attention?
I have those quite frequently. Typically I can push myself through by just trying something else. I've gotten to the point where I don't like to make myself finish something that I don't like (unless I know it will result in a sarcastic rant session to entertain my blog readers). But, on the rare occasion that I can't get through it, I'd pick up a book that I know I'll love. Case in point, the Fever series. I read Darkfever a few months back because I was stuck in a large rut of mediocre books. I'll never get sick of KMM!

This week's Follow Friday question: Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with then 'broke up' with later on in either a series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.
Hmm. This is a hard one for me! I haven't read many series (not long ones anyway) and I can't think of any stand-alones that would have that much character change. Typically if my opinion changes, it's in a good way as the character develops.
I suppose there is one though, from my favorite books (again, the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning). The character in question is Dani. I absolutely loved her spunk and charisma (and sarcasm), but in book 5 (I think), something she did was revealed and I was very taken aback that she would be involved in such a thing. The reasons are as yet unexplained, but until I find out why I'll continue to be disappointed in her.

New follower! Happy FF!! My FF: What I Read Yesterday
ReplyDeleteHopping through. I hated Dani. I always felt bad about that, but she was so annoying.

I've not read that series, but I have heard of other people complaining about Dani too! :) Don't know but I don't like her either!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Follow Friday!
I've heard mixed things about that series. I guess it's just a polarizing story.
ReplyDeleteNew GFC Follower. My FF.
The Fever series is my all time fave but I completely agree with you on Dani.

I read the Fever series last year in March or so and since then often grabbed something from KMM when I felt the reading blues coming. It's gotten to the point that I'm actually sick of the Fever books right now. HORRIBLE experience!

Love the Fever answers!! Dani did disappoint me a little too at that point. I guess she was "growing up", but did she have to lose her spunk?

Have a GREAT weekend!

Yeah, I don't read many series either. The book I chose is a series, but by the end of the book I hated the characters so much that I didn't read the sequel.

There are not too many characters I fall out of love with. I haven't read the Fever series yet but plan to. I hear amazing things about it.

I'm not really attached to Dani, so I guess I kind of ignored her actions. Old follower. My Follow

ReplyDeleteI haven't read that series. But thank you for sharing your thoughts on it.

I just finished an amazing book, and had that kind of empty feeling, like, "What next?"
ReplyDeleteThat's the worst!
Now I'm torn between the book that I SHOULD read, because I have a review that's due, and the book that I WANT to read, because it's like Jane Austen, but with magic: Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal.
I haven't read that series. :( I'm stopping in as part of FF.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
