Want It Wednesday #15 (Geektastic Edition!)

I'm mixing things up this week and letting out my inner geek!:)

Geektastic: Stories From the Nerd Herd (I couldn't find any cover art!)

About the Book: (From Amazon) Acclaimed authors Holly Black (Ironside)and Cecil Castellucci (Boy Proof) have united in geekdom to edit short stories from some of the best selling and most promising geeks in young adult literature: M.T. Anderson, Libba Bray, Cassandra Clare, Tracy Lynn, Cynthia and Greg Leitich Smith, David Levithan, Kelly Link, Barry Lyga, Wendy Mass, Garth Nix, Scott Westerfield, Lisa Yee, and Sara Zarr.

With illustrated interstitials from comic book artists Hope Larson and Bryan Lee O'Malley, Geektastic covers all things geeky, from Klingons and Jedi Knights to fan fiction, theater geeks, and cosplayers. Whether you're a former, current, or future geek, or if you just want to get in touch with your inner geek, Geektastic will help you get your geek on!

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!:)


Even 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?

  5. 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?:)

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
