Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Top Ten Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a>, and this week’s theme is BOOKS I READ IN ONE SITTING! (spoiler alert: that’s not what I did!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Happy Tuesday! As someone who spends 90% of her time reading, you would think that I would have a ton of books that I read in one sitting. And yet, even at my quickest, it usually takes me a day or two to get through a book. The two exceptions for this seem to be a) Graphic Novels (which I can usually finish in an hour or two) and b) Audiobooks I listen to when I have a migraine.<\/p>\n

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea why I decided graphic novels didn’t count for this week’s challenge, but I did. I also skipped books I listened to with migraines because even when the books were good, thinking about how quickly I read them and why isn’t a fun recollection.<\/p>\n

So! I decided to completely throw this week’s theme out the window and instead put together a list of books that deal with one of my favorite things- fandom! I don’t think it’s possible to start this list with anything except Geekerella<\/em>, and I’m so happy to wrap it up with the two books I’m currently reading.<\/p>\n

And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Cinderella goes to the con in this fandom-fueled twist on the classic fairy tale.<\/b>
\nPart romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield<\/i>, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield<\/i> movie, she has to enter. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball, and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. With savings from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck (and her dad\u2019s old costume), Elle\u2019s determined to win\u2026unless her stepsisters get there first.
\nTeen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons\u2014before he was famous. Now they\u2019re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets. Playing Carmindor is all he\u2019s ever wanted, but the Starfield<\/i> fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake\u2014until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
