I reviewed the first issue of Jeff last December after ZomBcon, and really enjoyed it. Recently, Creator’s Edge Press sent me the Jeff Graphic novel in pdf form, and the soundtrack which includes Seattle bands you’ve heard me talk about before, like Smokejumper and Go! Fight! Win! You’ll be able to get it from your… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #182 – Jeff the Graphic Novel – Creator’s Edge Press
The books, not the movie. Dorothy spends far too much time cringing in the movie. The books, however, are superb, with an adventurous Dorothy shedding few, if any tears (I think she does cry a bit in the first book, largely worrying that her aunt and uncle miss her) and facing adventure head on. Basically,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #181 – The Wizard of Oz
I’ve followed Jim C. Hines on Livejournal for quite some time, and I’ve been meaning to pick up his books, so I was tickled pink when he asked me if I’d review The Snow Queen’s Shadow (PRINCESS NOVELS). Please, bear in mind that I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, so… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #180 – Review of The Snow Queen’s Shadow by Jim C. Hines
Ok, I’m only about a month late, but here it is! My interview with Surly Amy! She is the creator of Surlyramics, and is a contributor to Skepchick.org and the mad overlord of Mad Art Lab.

First off, I apologize, again, for the radio silence. Yeah, moving, sorting, unpacking, trying to figure out what to get rid of, acquiring things we didn’t have and needed, etc… It all takes so very much more out of you than you realize. Add to that work stress and various and other stresses, and yeah…… Read More Geek Girls Rule #179 – News of the Geek and a Review of Mu(t)an(t)s by Leroi
Gender stereotyping in games is a bad idea. Largely, it’s based on really outdated stereotypes of girls/women and what they do and do not want in a game. I grew up in a fairly typical suburban neighborhood that had a fair number of children. My best friend when I was little was a boy a… Read More Girls will be girls…
I have neither been eaten, lost in snowdrift, nor run off to be David Bowie’s love slave. As noted before, we moved two weeks ago, and let’s just say my delusions of keeping up with blogging were just that: delusional. We’re mostly unpacked, completely moved in to our new home, NerdHaven. We have a house-wide,… Read More Geek Girls Rule: A quick note.
While Green Lantern offers some entertainment value, it also manages to frequently miss the mark. Ryan Reynolds is a credible Hal Jordan, but the writers should surrender their WGA cards. Irresponsible test pilot Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) is chosen by the power ring of dying alien Abin Sur (Temeura Morrison) to become Sur’s successor as… Read More Review: Green Lantern
Yes, I’m skipping the middle two books. Suffice it to say that both The Ghost Brigades (A Sci Fi Essential Book) and The Last Colony are excellent books, and necessary to understanding Zoe’s Tale. Well, here’s a brief overview. The Ghost Brigades set up the events that take place in Last Colony, and introduce us… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #178 – Review of Zoe’s Tale by John Scalzi
