Take a Tour with Wednesday's Geek Girl Bloggers
Princess Reviews: Tasha says: "This book was so good, I started it and literally did not put it down until I finished it!" "The book itself is written in the present ... Most books tend to use past-tense of most things, not really giving you the same "in the story" feel ... that you get in this book." "This is a book I would definately recommend to my friends."

Love for Geek Girl on Todays Blog Tour Stops
Imaginary Reads: (Review, Interview with Trevor, Interview with Cindy) Kris says: "I enjoyed watching Jen unsettle Trevor and unintentionally getting unsettled herself." "While it starts with a bet, Geek Girl is a sweet story about opening your heart to love and all the hardships that come with it. It is different from the usual contemporary read and filled with laughs, tears, and smiles."
Lani Woodland: Lani says: "This was a really fun read. I, being a Geek myself, enjoyed all the Geeky movie references. :) I really, really liked Jen and Trev." "The book delved deeper than just the romance between the two of them. It explored Jen's feelings with her biological parents and her foster parents. This book made me laugh and cry."
Mrs. Papillion "The Book Worm": Mrs. Papillion says: "I really loved the story to this book. Jen is definitely one character who had me crying in certain parts of the book, especially when she explained what happened to her and why she went into foster care. " "I definitely recommend this book." "I loved this book and that is why I gave it 5 stars."

Stop by these amazing blogs today to see what they have to say about Geek Girl - especially since they were kind enough to host us on the traditional day of rest.
Pages of Gold: (Review and Guest Post) Heidi says: "I read this book with one of those cheesy smiles that you get when you've seen something that just makes you say "awww" out loud no matter who might be happening to listen. Sometimes I had that smile on my face while reading through tears. Needless to say, I enjoyed this book. A lot. I would definitely recommend Geek Girl to a friend for an easy, enjoyable and quick read."

Book Ratings, Anyone?
The other day I was discussing with someone that it would be nice if books had a ratings system similar to that of TV or movies. That way, you don't crack open a book, get involved in the story, then get blindsided by something you weren't expecting. Last night I happened across this blog: The Literate Mother which happens to do that very thing. From what I gather, a group of mom's got together and created this blog, rating youth and young adult literature. Go over and check it out!
It's 11-11-11, and Geek Girl is hitting ... 4 blogs today!
You thought I was going to say 11 blogs, huh?
A Casual Readers Blog: Lisa says: "It was a very fast and fun read. I didn't want to put it down. It's smart, witty, charming, and very enjoyable. I highly recommend this book. If you are looking for a sweet romance that fills you with joy, this is definitely the book for you." "... maybe I'm a little biased because I married my own geek, but Trevor was definitely a dreamboat."
Nocturnal Book Reviews: (Review and Guest Blog on Top 10 Geek Movies) Karina says: "... a classic story of transformation ..." "The couple is sweet, self-deprecating and clever. Once they admit what they want, they work for it. They don't give up, and that's what I found so sweet. The reality and the truthfulness of it all."
Getting Your Read On: Stop by for review and a giveaway.
Creative Writing Addict: Stop by and see Cindy's 5 question interview, beginning with "Why do you write?" and ending with "Batman or Indiana Jones?"

Thursday's Stops for Geek Girl
Totally Obsessed: (Review and Guest Post) Stop by now to read Cindy's post "Getting Published: Not for the Faint of Heart" and later for NaKesha's review.
Passion for Novels: Gemma says: "As a protagonist Jen is likable ... I love Trevor in this book ..." "Jen is quite inspiring as a character because she moves from her style to geek and then finds something in the middle. Something which suits her rather than the people around her."
Twisting the Lens: Jaime says: "Jen is relatable in what she feels and the decisions she makes, even though they may not always be the right ones. By the end, it is a decision of who one is 'expected' to be and who one can become." "The characters are likable enough that people would tune in ... to find out more about Jen and Trevor.
