Any suggestions for geeky/nerdy books? Those with geeky characters. I've read Paper Towns by John Green and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks by E.Lockhart. So anything along those lines. :D

Hi Wanda! I've read the second book in the series. The Perilous Journey. I liked it. I love those genius kids. Sticky and Constance are my favorite. Kate's amazing too. I have to get a hold of book 1 and 3. Thanks for reminding me of this series! This book has awesome puzzles. :D

Hello! I've read The Brief and Wondurous Life of Oscar Wao. I love that Oscar is a major science fiction geek. The book was compelling with all the politics and history of Dominican republic. A little heavy for me but still a satisfying read. :)

I've never heard of the Geek Tragedies, I'll put in on my list and look it up! Thanks! :)

I found out that there is a book called GEEKTASTIC: Stories from the Nerd Herd edited by Holly Black and Cecil Castellucci. It's a compilation of short stories from various geeks in YA literature like Cassandra Clare, John Green, Libba Bray, M.T. Anderson, David Levithan, Garth Nix, Sara Zarr, Tracy Lynn, Cynthia and Greg Leitich Smith, Kelly Link, Barry Lyga, Wendy Mass, Scott Westerfield, Lisa Yee.

There are some big awesome names here. I am definitely curious about this one. If any of you have read this, let me know what you think. :)

Some of them aren't just short fiction but comics as well.
