For GeekyLibrary, I was able to attend a number of author readings, attend a Baen books party (thanks!), and I passed out a fair number of business cards.
In honor of our 42nd review—rather than troll Wikipedia (delete everything in the entry for Earth and replace it with “Mostly Harmless”)– we decided to celebrate a different way. As we know, the number 42 is so important, being the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, so I’ve added my own opinion about Douglas […]
The winner of the 2012 Philip K. Dick Award will be announced Friday at Norwescon, and we’ve been busy reading them. So lets talk about them.

All main […]

Guess where the GeekyLibrary Crew is headed this week… @Disneyland! #StarTours here we come! — GeekyLibrary (@GeekyLibrary) February 17, 2013 Star Tours was definitely a high priority.

Below is a special Valentine’s Day delivery from our GeekyLibrary bookshelves. This collection of quotes travels the different stages and aspects of romance, albeit sometimes in a very geeky way.
Looking for a Valentine’s Day fit? When you think of GeekyBooks, romance is probably not the first thing on your mind. Robots and aliens, sure, but true love? However, even in our modest collection of book reviews, I can pull out at least three books that feature love and relationships. The Mad Scientist’s Daughter by […]
GeekyLibrary will be represented at Norwescon 36, the sci-fi and fantasy convention held in Seattle.
Crowd funding is an amazing concept and phenomenon because it puts the financial viability of a project into the hands of people who care. When we discovered filmmaker’s Issac and Marisa’s film project on Kickstarter, we cared. The documentary Cities in the Sky: Science Fiction’s Forgotten Visionaries promises to reveal pioneering science fiction authors whose […]
