GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: I have been wanting this book since I heard about it a few months ago. I'm a geek, and reading stories about other geeks always makes me smile. Plus, there are so many geekdoms covered in this book, and so many awesome authors, I can't wait for this one to come out!:)

n more geektastic:To go with the upcoming Star Trek movie which hits theaters May 8, 2009, Genki Wear is releasing three fragrances based on Star Trek. Is it really geeky of me that I kind of want one? I love Red Shirt, which has the tag line: "Because Tomorrow May Never Come" which totally makes me laugh! Everyone has fragrances now-first Twilight, now Star Trek-what's next?
To get you feeling geeky, here's a trailer for the upcoming Trek movie-anyone else recognize Kirk from Princess Diaries 2?

Yeah, Geektastic sounds fantastic! That's a drool-worthy list of excellent YA authors. :)
I am so with you about wanting Geektastic! August is too far away!
perfume based on Star Trek... you are *totally* a geek! but at least you are in the same boat as m.t. anderson & holly black & i guess uh.. me for that matter ;)
Geektastic does sound really good and I am a self proclaimed geek too! But i have never gotten in to Star Trek
I'm so glad there are other geektastic geeks-maybe we'll start a new geek trend or something?
And yes, not many people are geek enough to wear Star Trek perfume, but I guess that just makes me a proud geek, right?:)
I neeeeed Geektastic. It sounds amazing, and I'm such a geek and proud of it!
