Yes, I know, we all shudder when we hear that and think back to certain novels we may have loved in our teens, but we look back on them now and cringe. * cough Shadowrun, Nigel Findley cough* But hey, we loved them at the time and they served a purpose.

You know how frequently when you pick up a fiction book, especially genre, especially the hot new genre, and you start reading, you find yourself thinking, “Hell, who do I have to blow to get a book contract?” You will think nothing of the sort about Gail Carriger’s Soulless.

I don’t know if all geeks are packrats like this, but an awful lot… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #105 – Man, I have a lot of stuff.
OK, not really. It would be kind of funny, but I’m pretty sure Erikson would own Martin. He’s younger and probably in better shape. So, ages ago when the Game of Thrones series was in its relative youth, Mr. Geek Girl What Rules got hooked. And, as is our want, when one of us gets… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #66 – George R. R.
