The Summer I Became a Nerd

On the outside, seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside, Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl’s body isn’t just unknown, it’s anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way.

Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.

Wander Dust (Seraphina Parrish Trilogy # 1) by Michelle Warren
Publication Date: November 30, 2013
Publisher: Kristine Michelle Preast
Genre: YA/Fantasy/Time Travel/Romance

**Copy provided from the Tour**

I did not enjoy the protagonist that much. In my opinion, Seraphina takes things for granted, selfish and cares for her own satisfaction. She's not a significant character for me either. Whenever she's in her train of thoughts, I imagined myself skipping to read them. Hopefully, I didn't. Still I couldn't ignore the fact that that it was mind-numbing. Finally, I saw myself nodding slightly to how her character development has benefitted my opinions towards her. She accepted making mistakes that she misjudged people easily especially those she doesn't like. I like her when she's quite rebellious herself because I see her determination to what she wanted to achieve.

Title: My Date From Hell by Tellulah Darling

Genre: Young Adult

Sophie Bloom’s junior year has been a bit of a train wreck. After the world’s greatest kiss re-awakened Sophie’s true identity as Persephone (Goddess of Spring and Savior of Humanity), she fought her dragon-lady guidance counselor to the death, navigated mean girl Bethany’s bitchy troublemaking, and dealt with the betrayal of her backstabbing ex, Kai (sexy Prince of Darkness). You’d think a girl could catch a break.
