Gone with the Nerd is a classic romance about a Hollywood actress and her taboo fling with a nerd, where she learns brains might have some worth over muscles and social skills. This sounds all well and good, but where in this great land have you ever found a nerd that looks like that dude on the cover!? Now do you think that if Heidi and I knew there was a guy like this under one of those demon elf larping costumes, that we would be here blogging? We'd be out in those woods in a second, tracking his ass down!
My second problem with this book is that it only got a three and a half star rating on Amazon.com. Really? Just look at its key phrases and there will be no mistaking that this book is literary genius:
The top key phrase is, ahem... Long Shaft. Enough said.
Now as I am sure this book will become one of your favorites, you will be excited to know it is part of a series.
Other recommended reading includes:
- The Nerd Who Loved Me
- Nerd Gone Wild
- Nerds Like it Hot
- Nerd in Shining Armor
- My Nerdy Valentine
Is it just me, or is this verging on nerd porn? Anyway, make sure to hurry up and get your copy because Amazon claims there is only one left in stock. Of course you can always just buy it used for $.01. It will be a penny well spent:

Some of your posts make me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteSome of them make me want to shoot myself in the face.
This one wants me to laugh whilst shooting myself.
I'm glad Amazon clarified in their description that "Gone with the Nerd" is a part of the "Nerd Series"... because otherwise, how would we have known? I'm excited to read "Nerd Like it Hot." OOH! I'll write a review!
