We don’t have TV, so thank goodness for Hulu. LOVING IT SO FAR! I admit that the first episode of Agents of SHIELD had the biggest squee factor for me. The second Coulson stepped out of the shadows, I bounced up and down in my seat like a kid. Even the Geek Husband What Rules… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #269 – Agents of SHIELD
OMG!!!!!! No, seriously you guys! I love this book now. Had I read this as a 12 or 13 year old girl, I would probably have read it at least once more since finishing it at 2AM this morning. Disclaimer: I was sent an advance review copy, for free. Also, I am typing this with… Read More Geek Girls Rule #268 – The Department of Cautionary Tales by Katy Stauber
YellowBrickRoad did something no horror movie has done in years, possibly decades: it woke me up with nightmares the night I watched it, to the point I could not go back to sleep. I wound up sitting in bed reading something “light” to be able to eventually go back to sleep an hour or… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #261 – Review: YellowBrickRoad
Wolverine returns after a four year absence from the big screen in a well-made effort that’s solid rather than spectacular.

Yes, it’s been out forever, but I have a galloping allergy to films everyone tells me I “have to see.” Seriously.

Now, that said, I actually quite liked The Cabin… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #259 – Cabin in the Woods
Ok, so I was fortunate enough to meet the lovely and talented Ms. Rambo at Norwescon this spring, and pick up a copy of this book to review. Needless to say, I am late. But… I loved the book! Once things settled down enough that I could actually sit and read the book, boy did… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #258 – Near + Far: Stories of the Near Future and the Far by Cat Rambo
Ok, I love all of the Animal Crossing games I’ve played to date. I have Animal Crossing: Wild World for the original DS, Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii. So, when my family told me that they (my parents) wanted us (my sister and I), to spend a week driving around the state of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #257 – Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Best. Superman. Movie. Ever. Superman has been rebooted for the 21st century, but he’s still recognizably Superman. Sent to Earth from a doomed Krypton by his birth parents Jor-El and Lara (Russell Crowe, Ayelet Zurer), Kal-El is adopted by the Kents (Kevin Costner, Diane Lane). As an adult, Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) engages in anonymous,… Read More Review: Man of Steel
Iron Man 3 has a ’60s pulp spy novel vibe wed to irreverent black humor, giving it a different flavor than its predecessors. But it works. Oh, does it work. In the wake of his near-death experience in The Avengers, Tony Stark aka Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) is obsessively struggling with PTSD and a… Read More Review: Iron Man 3
Ok, so I bought this book the day after it came out, and then did not have time to read it until last week. Wherein, I devoured it in two days of bus commute, finishing it up over dinner while ignoring my husband and room-mates. I’m sure most of you already know what I’m… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #254 – Review: Midnight Blue-Light Special by Seanan McGuire
