I had downloaded the e-book from my digital library, but I had to go to the signing and buy a copy for myself. It’s not much, but there’s a lot of love in those three sentences, I promise you.Ĭoincidentally, author Ashley Poston was scheduled to do a signing at Malaprop’s, my local bookstore, within weeks of when I finished the book. I read this while I was on my ridiculously-extended blogging/reviewing break, and I loved it so much, I had to record something on GoodReads. It’s an adorable retelling of Cinderella set in the geeky fandom world, and I loved every minute of it. I couldn’t wait to see how it ended but at the same time, I didn’t want it to end. So, this is not the cleanest edit and it’s not Literature, but I grinned from ear-to-ear the entire time I was reading. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake-until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise. Playing Carmindor is all he’s ever wanted, but the Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. Now they’re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons-before he was famous. 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. 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. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father.
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.
