dnf at 26%.I tried, okay. I really, honestly gave this my best effort but I would just rather have one of my fingernails ripped out than finish reading it. Our MC is a vapid, arrogant waste, even in her inner thoughts and everything. her entire motive is so... shallow. I thought this book would soun...

The first thing that caught my attention when I started reading this was the setting - Louisiana. It's small of a deal but its just that I don't get to read books, let alone YA books, set in here. :DObviously, The Summer I Became A Nerd is a light, fun read with a simple plot. Maddie, a girl leading...

The Summer I Became a Nerd was a cute, fun read from debut author Leah Rae Miller. Being a bit of a nerd myself, I found myself caught up in this story about a girl called Maddie - a 'closeted' nerd - who over the course of a summer learns to embrace her inner-geek and accept herself for who she rea...

This was a light, enjoyable book about a girl who feels the need to keep her nerdyness undercover while passing as one of the cool kids. I found it very fun while reading it, and quite forgettable after finishing (i.e., I had to think about it for several minutes before I could remember even that pl...

I don't think I've ever cared so much about LARPing in my life. In fact, I consider myself a nerdy person, and even I thought LARPing was too nerdy. However, the LARPing in this book was spectacular and I loved every second of it. At this point I'm just trying to see how many time I can say LARPi...

Hmmm…I’m not really sure how to review this book. On one hand there were a lot of things about it I liked. On the other, there were some aspects that really irritated me. The first half of the book earned itself a solid four. Ever heard of the US DEFCON system? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the N...

Debo comenzar diciendo que casi no leo este libro debido a la portada (si, si, ya se lo que dicen de no juzgar a un libro por su portada, pero...) Me alegro de haber sucumbido a la tentación de la palabra nerd en el titulo, porque es DIVERTIDO. ¿Comics, juegos de rol y cosplays? SÍ, por favor!Mientr...
