The Lost Daughter of Sparta by Felicia Day

by Leave a Comment

The Lost Daughter of Sparta by Felicia Day was started as an online reader copy. It would also be finished that way, however, I did not realize the first copy I had was only a sample. After asking if there was a chance for a physical copy, I was informed that there was a finished copy online. Finally! So what should have been a couple of lunches was a several month endeavor. But regardless, I was going to finish this reimagined Greek myth.  When I […]

The Best Wierd Celebrity Best Friend

by Leave a Comment

I first became a fan of Felicia Day back during the start of her web series The Guild. I was unemployed at the time and spent far too much time playing World of Warcraft. To say that I related to the character of Cyd Sherman is an understatement, I mean we both played priests so OBVIOUSLY we were exactly the same. I have followed Day’s career more or less since then, and I put her memoir on my TBR pile the moment it was announced. […]

Nothing Will Make You Feel Better Except Doing the Work

Until recently, there were only a few ways to “make it” in the entertainment industry. You’d move to LA or New York, try to get a spot writing for a late show or a sitcom, and slowly move your way up a rigid, hierarchical ladder, until you were finally creating your own content. But thanks to the Internet, that’s changing. New writers are discovered writing fanfiction. Youtube bloggers are publishing their own books. And people producing their own content online are able to reach millions […]

You don’t have to be weird to enjoy this one (but it helps)

Hey, 10 more books this year and I’ll hit a quintuple cannonball! Considering I have about half of the rest of the days this year off from work — I think it’s doable. “The internet is amazing because it connects us with one another. But it’s also horrific because . . . it connects us with one another.” I remember seeing Felicia Day in Dr. Horrible, but I thought she was the same chick who played Saffron in Firefly (she’s not — that’s Christina Hendricks), so I was only slightly […]

I was prowling through my library, on the search for a romance novel only available in print, when I spied You’re Never Weird on the Internet (almost) (2015) by Felicia Day, sitting out on a display table. I know Felicia Day from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, which I loved, but that’s about it. Curious, I cracked open the book to get a feel for it and read the first paragraph of the introduction: “I recently experienced the perfect summary of my career at a Build-A-Bear store […]

Life on the Internet

by 1 Comment

I think most people have tangentially heard of Felicia Day. I know her from Supernatural and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog; my husband watched The Guild (and is currently playing World of Warcraft as I write this. On a Saturday night. We’re both under 30 and have no kids but I assure you have lot of socializing planned for tomorrow.) Although, when he asked how my book was and I said “Good, it’s Felicia Day’s memoir” he responded with “Who?” Her name clicked when I mentioned […]
