I switched away from fiction to nonfiction memoir for my sixth book of the year. I've been reading Felicia Day's tweets and watching her on television for a while now so I decided to read her memoir, "You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)".
Felicia Day is an interesting person. She reminds me of me if by me I meant who I wished I was. I mean she is an introvert who is talented and driven enough to overcome her doubts and become successful.
Felicia Day is nerdy - she is often refereed to as the Queen of the Nerds - and the book is sprinkled with nerdy gaming, Sci-Fi, and fantasy references. She dumbs it down quite a bit so that non-nerds aren't turned off by the geek but I wish she would have gone full nerd at times. It would have been fun but I'm sure it would have eaten into her book revenue.
I liked Felicia Day before I read this book and I think I like her more now that I've read about her life. I enjoyed the book and I'm sure there will me more chapters in the future.
I gave the book four stars on Goodreads because I was entertained, informed, and a little geeked out after reading it.
