Michelle (michelletheresa) | 228 comments Hello Iggles!! New month means new book!! This morning that we are reading Geekerella! Super excited to read this one!!!

Here is the synopsis:

Cinderella goes to the con in this fandom-fueled twist on the classic fairy tale.

Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball, and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. With savings from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck (and her dad’s old costume), Elle’s determined to win…unless her stepsisters get there first.

Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons—before he was famous. Now they’re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Carmindor is all he’s ever wanted, but the Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake—until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise.

Happy reading and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Jennifer (unicornprincez4) | 12 comments This book was so good! One of my fav retellings of Cinderella! Such a good pick for this club as well! <3


Kendall • thegeekyyogi (thegeekyyogi) | 74 comments I LOVED this book. I have a weakness for Cinderella retellings, but this is by far my favorite, I ended up reading it all in one day. It's easy to see that the author is a Fangirl herself, she was spot on with everything, and this book made me laugh a lot. Does anyone else wish that Starfield could be a real thing? Haha


Tracey (arcanegumption) | 134 comments Day late and a book short. It's June and I FINALLY bought myself this book. Still excited to read it. And for what I gather YES, I would like to make Starfield real.
