Geek Girl

Those of you who dip your toes into the ocean that is Twitter may have noticed me mentioning a book for silly, soppy girls, called Geek Girl, by Holly Smale. In the interests of full disclosure, I have to say right now that I met Holly at the Harper Collins Summer Party last week and, well... she's kind of besotted with me. It's a thing, it happens, it's perfectly natural, so let's all move past it without making Holly feel at all self-conscious.

Thank you.

I exchanged a few tweets with her a few weeks ago, then visited her twitter page. I figured if she was half as funny in her book as she is on twitter, it'd be a book worth reading. So I bought it, and I've just finished it.

My Review of Geek Girl

Geek Girl is a book about a girl who is a geek. There are no ninjas in it. Virtually no one dies. There are two haircuts (one planned, one not). There are bizarre characters. There is one tremendously awful bully that makes you want to punch the page. There are clothes and shoes.

And DESPITE all the lack of bloodshed... this book is brilliant.

Harriet is 15 years old. She's a geek. She likes facts and figures and doing her homework. She's not exactly popular in school. She's just... weird. Her mind works in unusual ways. When she's plucked from her life and told she's going to be a model she thinks everything is going to get better— she's going to change and suddenly be cool and have friends...

There are lines in this book that will make you laugh out loud. There are jokes. One liners. Gags. Set ups and payoffs. It may deal with popularity (or lack of same), and it may deal with bullying, and insecurity, and it may play with the myth of metamorphosis... but even when Harriet is at her most vulnerable, she is never less than hilarious.

If it helps, you can think of Harriet as the younger sister to Clarabelle, in the Skulduggery books. She is, literally, THAT weird. And THAT loveable.

I would rate this book eight fish out of eight.


But please, let's not mention how much Holly fancies me. It's just... it's embarrassing.

I. Don't. Fancy. Coco. And even if I did he wouldn't ever like me back so what difference does it make? 500yrs of lonliness would do that to you

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Here you go Area. *Hands towel, hair dryer (portable) and new chalk*

How about a drink?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Where the hell did Em come from? Is she being a little stalking Irishman?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*laughs* Zaf, come on. It's kind of obvious that you fancy him. Even though you're married. You can't just make us drop it by changing the subject.

*wraps the towel around her shoulders and Turns on the dryer*
Orange juice, please.

Nothing warm? *hands orange juice*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Victory! I will never need a hairdryer again! My hair is SHORT! Yeah!
Sorry, I just got excited. I love having short hair...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I know. You can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to us.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I love my short/long hair!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*shrugs* I need my head cleared.

And I love my hair. It goes halfway to my waist. Do you all know how long it took to grow out?

"You don't really get to this level of importance without learning that people aren't perfect."

And when you get to the next level up, i.e. my level, you come to realise that some people are just utter perfection.

#ChaseForBookNine

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Aw, did we scare Zaf away? ;p

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Hunter- then there is the level where you see that flaws are what make people beautiful.

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry, just had to say that. Sorry Trip! D:

Won't be here long. :(

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Perfection is imperfection, therefore unreachable.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No! Im here! Uh Coco...where is he? And I doubt he knows I kinda fancy him

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Yay, someone who understands what I mean. :)
Except the flaws aren't really flaws. They're just things that make people people.

It may have taken me a hundred years to get here, but I'm here. *laughs*

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

You told him. *smiles*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Of course Hunter knows the great truth about flaws and perfection. Hunter is awesome. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Not like he'll do anything anyway..

Noelle said...

*nods*

Zaf, EVERYONE knows you fancy him. You weren't exactly subtle. It wasn't a graceful leap towards him, more like a stampede.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

You could walk right up to him and boldly proclaim your undying love, and he wouldn't know you fancied him. Well, more like he wouldn't believe it. He actually can't fathom the idea that anybody would. So, yeah... He definitely doesn't know.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

*smiles* Did you not here what I said about supposed flaws not really being flaws?

On the other hand, some unique qualities are better than others.

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*bangs head into tree* as i said what can he do? He wont do anything

Noelle said...

Ah, well, perhaps not

Star Inkbright said...

In case you were wondering, I don't fancy Niccolo.

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thank you Ari! See Adra what would he do? Kiss me? Yeah he won't because he would be too shocked i do fancy him

Noelle said...

*rolls eyes*
I'm not participating in this. *puts the hair dryer down* thanks, Trip. *grabs her orange juice and hope over to a table* but I have to work.

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: Then kiss him. God. *rolls eyes*

Ez can give you lessons if you want.

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Me neither Hunter.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I am not kissing Coco! I like my head attached to my shoulders....

Talk: Ari he IS your character is it safe to even attempt?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*sighs* Of course he won't do anything. What do you expect?

*walks over to Adra* What are you working on?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Talking: Zaf, I have absolutely 0 control over him. Just think of it the same way you would with a normal person- based on who he is and how he reacts to things, how would he react to this, and then would you be willing to risk that? It's up to you. I don't have answers.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*without looking up* I'm making a new plan B, since the original was scrapped. And then plan C and D.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Adra, when Arra was possessed, do you remember how hard I took it? I was ready to kill myself to make sure no one got hurt. /I summoned the seven hobbit armies/. Just try and remember, it'll work out in the end.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Talk: Okay Ari thanks...where is the little creep?

Star Inkbright said...

I keep forgetting Niccolo and Aretha are the same person, and then I remember and it messes with my brain. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Luciana said...

GUYS I HAVE SOME AWESOME NEWS, OH MY GOLDEN GOD!

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Talking: TELL ME NOW!!!!!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Trip, you did die, remember?
*runs a hand through her hair*
I'm trying to figure out a way to keep everyone alive. Because I do not want to go back to the afterlife.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*whistles a tune*

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Adra, I remember. But, I have a good plan maybe.

In fact no, the plan makes no sense, forget I ever said anything.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Oh really? *sets her paper down, covered in marks and symbols and wayward lines* do tell.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

No really, it was stupid.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Talking: We're not actually the same person! We really aren't! It's more like we're two people living in the same body. It's actually really weird. But anyways, we are not the same person! I'm pretty impressed with Niccolò, actually. It's like he's not even my character. Like he never even was. I feel like I'm just as much his character as he is mine... It's really strange and hard to describe. But there you go. So we're technically not the same person. Think Niccolò/Clara. (That's an MC reference.)

What is it, Luci?!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Star, is that why your brain is a big ball of rainbow coloured mush?;)

Msd/mbd.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Adra, what is this plan for?

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Um, contingency plan. *looks guilty*

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*sits up and looks off at lake* Fine if Coco comes before i leave I'll kiss him

Noelle said...

*sighs* plan A is that- if Alastair comes back, we all need to work to exhaust him. A lot.

Plan b is to permanently get rid of him, which is hard because when I bring it to Niccolo, he insists that nothing can be done...

But...

What if there is another who knows how to steal names? What if they stole them from Nic? Oh, but then THEY would have those names..

Grrrrr...

Wooooooo! You love him. *sounds almost distasteful/hurt/doctor-not-understanding-humansy* You all do!

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Um... I'm not even sure I should... Wait, Zaf, really? I mean, you are married...

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*raises hand* Justaria can replicate NiccolĂł's magic so she could try to take Alastair's...

Noelle said...

Yeah. If Javier comes after you or your daughter for cheating on him...

He might go after Niccolo as well...

And we can't have that.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I am serious Ari. I'll do it. You only live for so long take oppurtunites as they come

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I can help exhaust him...

Area listen, you're tired, cold, wet, just come away from your work for a moment.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Adra, I did say earlier that I did something... Oh, what were my exact words? "I've already done something that should pretty much take care of it,"... I mean, that was earlier, and I only mentioned it once amongst all the other things I just sort of dropped on you guys, but I did do something. That should help.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Adra Javier can barely WALK he won't come and Alexis is with my parents so...if you people shut your pie traps...

I didn't mean the same person, I meant written by the same person. *facepalm*
IT WAS A COMPLIMENT.

@Ieni: I DON'T HAAAAAAAAAAVE A BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN! *hugs* :) :) :)
And I have never had one. It was lost long before Aretha attacked it. :)

#haseForBookNine

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zafira, technically, we can live for hundreds of years... But we can also die any second and I really hate people taking things for granted. So I see your point. But, like, don't you love Javier? I mean, you must have married him for a reason.

#ChaseForBook9

Luciana said...

Okay, never mind then...

I'm off to go write.

Might be back tomorrow, might not... *shrugs*

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah but Zaf, love and trust and vows and marriage and stuff?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Should help.. What if it doesn't? I'm just taking precautions.

*glares at Trip.* no.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I...I...really dont know whats going on....(Talk: to clear thinga up Justaria is influencing Zaf. So she really doesnt know whats going on)

Talking: TELL US LUCIANA!!! I'VE BEEN BURSTING WAITING!

#chaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Talking: Oh, well, thank you. XD I actually do take that as a compliment. But I wrote the whole thing anyway because this has never happened to me before. Sometimes it's a little weird, actually... But yeah. Usually I can control my characters, I just choose not to. And I have to work to develop them. But Niccolo completely wrote himself, and just sort of took over. It's rather absurd when I think about it. But still pretty cool. :)

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Talking: Luci!!! We've all been waiting for you to tell us!! Please don't go! *hugs and pulls gently*

#ChaseForBook9

Zaf, this isn't the woman I arrested. I dunno. Not saying anything just, you've changed a lot.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((And since I've deleted every comment I've posted, and J.A. is hiding until Zaf gets her arm fixed, I'm going to go.))

You used to be so serious... Now, you're a free spirit, taking life as it comes.

Talk: come on luci!!!

At least put a dry dress on Adra. You'll catch a cold, that will help no one. Least of all the fabric.

I don't blame her for feeling ignored.

*gumbles* fine.

*hugs Lucy and Mara*

Star Inkbright said...

THe other day, my friend told me about this story her and her sister amde up, about this girl who had the power to heal. However, there was a catch - whatever she healed, she got herself. If someone got their finger chopped off and she healed them, her finger would then be chopped off.

And one day, this murderer was killing this man and he was almost dead when she found him.
She didn't heal the almost dead man.
She healed the murderer - mentally.
So the murderer became a nice person, but she was now sadistic and a monster, and she got locked up and classed as insane and wanted to cause all this pain and everyone hated her, all because she'd wanted to make the world a better place.

It's so amazing.

And just now, I remember I told you all before. :P

But seriously, I love it.

Today was a special day where we learn about prisons, and two prisoners came in so we could ask them questions. One's serving a life sentence for armed robbery, and it's the second time he's been imprisioned for the same offence, and the other one's serving a life sentence for murder, although he didn't actually kill anyone - his friend killed someone and he was with him.

It was very interesting.

However, I'm disappointed I still haven't met a real murderer. I need to, at some point. It's really bugging me. It's kind of stupid, writing about murderers when you've never met one . . . I need to meet one so my writing can be based on fact just slightly!

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Talking; Idek if I'll roleplay tbh. Not feeling the best. .-. It feels too much like work atm...
*hugs Fabi/J.A. back*

At least that's a little better. *sighs* There's nothing else I can do is there?

Talking: Whatever you want to do Mara.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Maraness and Mushroom: Ooh I have awesome nicknames for both of you and them both begin with M! O_O
. . . What I meant to say is, I don't happen to be roleplaying. I'm just distantly talking. :)
If you want to, I'll talk to you. :)
If not, I'lll probably end up randomly babbling to myself. XD
@Ari: :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*smiles* I'm sure...

*buries her head into a book*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*calls* Hey Ari got any idea what to do for an arm that's uh...4th degree burn?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Well, Niccolo could heal that- I don't know if I should... *sighs* Oh, nevermind. I'll ask him to come.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Adra, you're going to work yourself into the ground like I hope Mycroft will. *grins* But seriously, your going to exhaust yourself. Please, just take a break.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Whatever Adra, you're clearly intent on killing yourself, just ignore us and how much we all care for you. Because that plan is so vital.

Two things: First if I kissed you would you kill me? And second i think you may understand this: For the past few days I've had periods where I dunno what I did. I don't remember doing something and I would feel the power I feel from Justaria more strong....what is it?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*tenses, unconsciously takes step backwards* I... If you- sorry, what? I'm not sure I... Why?

In regards to your name- it's possible that because you've let yourself lose control too many times, elements of your personality previously limited to your true name are now seeping into the rest of you... However, I- I fail to see how that should cause any lapses in memory...

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

[Well she's f****** crazy.]

*beckons closer* Come here NiccolĂł...I am being serious.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Um... *tenses* *glances anxiously at Niccolo* I asked him to do this, like... It's like a sort of mental link thing, so we can, like, feel each other's emotions... And if we want, see inside each other's thoughts and things... So, um, that way if one of his names took over, I could- you know, help get rid of it... From the inside...

*hears Em and looks back* Someone should see to her... *teleports to Em*

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Em! *runs over* Oh, God, what happened? Are you ok?!

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*kicks rock* DAMN HER!!! *shadow walks behind NiccolĂł* Em you idiot what did you do?

Emerald Melody said...

*smiles wearily at Adra*

Oh hey sis.
Who's the new kid on the block*

*blood starts to pool from her back*

Ah don't be worrying about this, just a run in with an old friend.

Noelle said...

*runs and gets a towel, to hold against her wounds* Em, come on, keep breathing.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Mara? What do you teleporter eyes see?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

... Was it Deacon, Em?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*whispers to Zaf* This is making him really uncomfortable...

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Emerald Melody, right? I believe I may be able to heal that for you- would you be alright with that?

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Something's wrong...

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*quietly* I'm sorry...I didn't mean to

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I'm not really anyone, I suppose. And you're hurt.

I know absolutely nothing about healing! Want help?

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*energy fire appears in hands* Mara, would you stop talking in riddles and tell me what's wrong?

#ChaseFotBook9

Emerald Melody said...

*starts to laugh at Adra's question but gets a coughing fit*

*looks at Niccolo*
Don't be worrying, it's just a scratch. Seriously.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*shrugs* Don't be sorry. You can do what you want- it's not your fault he's like this... Just thought you should know...

#ChaseForBook9

*falls over into the pool of blood*

*skin starting to turn grey*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*sits against tree furious* stupid bitch ruining my moment I could have done what I intended grrr

Noelle said...

*REALLY 2wants to slap Zaf*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Talking: I'll have to go in a few minutes- so I'll be bringing Niccolo with me. Zafira, if you're going to do something... Well, not to encourage you, but you should do it while he still has his hands on something so he can't go all ghosty on you, and while we're still here...
My feelings are so confused right now!!!

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Glowworm?

Well, I suppose you have to call me something. [Smiles, again, not in a friendly way]

((112-120-202 200-012-001-110-110-221... 100 102-210-201-202 010-001-112-202 201-202-001-221 001-212-001-221 020-120-200 110-120-112-021 without going insane))

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zaf, really. She's horribly injured! If you want your moment you'll just have to make a new one.

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

*shadows start to swirl out from the wounds*

*whispers* oh that's not good...

Noelle said...

(Brb guys- dinner)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well, I guess Mara's gone. *packs up campfire*

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Edwin Holmes said...

Miss Kerias, I will slap you quite happily.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*stares at shadows* What...?

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*goes back into bar* OH DEAR GOD!

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Okay im fucking scared...DIT SHOOT ME

*goes up to Coco whilst he heals her and kisses him and after a moment backs away in case he kills me*

Mycroft Edwin Holmes said...

We meet again, Castalan.

Mycroft Edwin Holmes said...

*slaps Kerias*

That was completely unnecessary.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Looks at the shadows]

Do you have a jar or something? 'Cause I can move those things if necessary.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Blood, Em, cuts, shadows emerging from the woods, stained rug, I need to sit down.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*is scared* why did i do that?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Ooh, yay. [Grins] Conflict.

[Eyes glow a bit brighter]

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Edwin Holmes said...

I have not bothered to put in the effort, as of yet.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Conflict isn't fun, seriously...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(wh☂t colour ☂re her eyes?)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*stands in complete shock* Um... The shadows... We ought to do something about those... *suddenly relaxes again and turns full attention back to Emerald* Apologies for that. Now, let's get this sorted... Emerald, do you know what this is?
