I really enjoyed this audiobook. Hearing about her creative process was very enlightening, as it's relatable to mine... which may or may not be really healthy. LOL Also, it's interesting to see how she was able to obtain her dreams. It's motivating and encouraging. I will say the roughest chapter was the one on GamerGate and it made me so upset for her. ...more

This is the memoir of Felicia Day, an actress probably most famous for Dr. Horrible and The Guild. I loved this!

I suddenly now have a desire to re-watch Dr. Horrible! I've seen it several times already :)

I'm not a gamer, but I am a nerd, so I really appreciated this book. All the gaming stuff pretty much went over my head, but I liked the parts where she shared about trying to make it into acting ... then screenwriting ... which launched her into creating "The Guild." Felicia Day is fresh and funny; she's the real deal. Her writing will make you snicker. Recommended for geeks of any kind of caliber. ...more
