Hot & Nerdy Collection


Book Description

Adam, Hunter, and Free have a lot in common, like geeky passions and less than excellent track records when it comes to dating. But a New Year's Eve bash will bring everything they've ever wanted--and so much more . . . His Work of Art Will their crossover make a splash? Reese Carter needs to complete a final project before graduating college—crowdfunding the publication of her comic book. While she has the story, she needs the perfect illustrator to make her comic come to life. Adam Hayes loves talking comics with Reese, even if she chooses DC over Marvel. When she asks him to illustrate her comic, he’s excited to get his first publishing credit. He does his best to keep their relationship professional, but their shared passion spills off the pages and into their lives. Can Reese convince him to develop a steamy subplot of their own? His New Jam Will their music hit all the right notes? Sydney Peters can’t wait for marching band season to end so she can put away the hated cymbals and focus on drums. Hunter is known for flirting with every woman within the fifty-yard line, but there’s something about Sydney that intrigues him. When her icy exterior defrosts enough to give him a reaction, he’s willing to break his no dating band members rule. Can Sydney let go of her past mistakes and believe Hunter has left behind his old reputation? His Dream Role Will they write their next act together? Free Mitchell uses costumes and characters to escape his shy, awkward persona. When he’s Doctor Who or Sherlock Holmes, he has all the confidence in the world. Samantha Wolf doesn’t know what to make of Free and his outrageous costumes, but she’s drawn to his sweet nature and love of acting. The more time they spend together, the more their unscripted romance takes center stage. But when Samantha discovers that Free plans to work in finance, she questions how well she knows the man she’s fallen for. Can Free convince her that his job doesn’t change who he is?

Black Nerd Problems


Book Description

The creators of the popular website Black Nerd Problems bring their witty and unflinching insight to this engaging collection of pop culture essays—on everything from Mario Kart to issues of representation—that “will fill you with joy and give you hope for the future of geek culture” (Ernest Cline, #1 New York Times bestselling author). When William Evans and Omar Holmon founded Black Nerd Problems, they had no idea whether anyone beyond their small circle of friends would be interested in their little corner of the internet. But soon after launching, they were surprised to find out that there was a wide community of people who hungered for fresh perspectives on all things nerdy. In the years since, Evans and Holmon have built a large, dedicated fanbase eager for their brand of cultural critiques, whether in the form of a laugh-out-loud, raucous Game of Thrones episode recap or an eloquent essay on dealing with grief through stand-up comedy. Now, they are ready to take the next step with this vibrant and hilarious essay collection, which covers everything from X-Men to Breonna Taylor with “alternately hilarious, thought-provoking, and passionate” (School Library Journal) insight and intelligence. A much needed and fresh pop culture critique from the perspective of people of color, “this hugely entertaining, eminently thoughtful collection is a master class in how powerful—and fun—cultural criticism can be” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).




American Nerd


Book Description

Most people know a nerd when they see one but can't define just what a nerd is. American Nerd: The Story of My People gives us the history of the concept of nerdiness and of the subcultures we consider nerdy. What makes Dr. Frankenstein the archetypal nerd? Where did the modern jock come from? When and how did being a self-described nerd become trendy? As the nerd emerged, vaguely formed, in the nineteenth century, and popped up again and again in college humor journals and sketch comedy, our culture obsessed over the designation. Mixing research and reportage with autobiography, critically acclaimed writer Benjamin Nugent embarks on a fact-finding mission of the most entertaining variety. He seeks the best definition of nerd and illuminates the common ground between nerd subcultures that might seem unrelated: high-school debate team kids and ham radio enthusiasts, medieval reenactors and pro-circuit Halo players. Why do the same people who like to work with computers also enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons? How are those activities similar? This clever, enlightening book will appeal to the nerd (and antinerd) that lives inside all of us.

Don’t miss three hot and hilarious tales in the Cocktail Collection! In Wallbanger, Caroline didn’t hear things “go bump in the night”—she heard things go thump in the night.

So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the walls are thin, and suddenly Caroline is finding she may have discovered a whole new definition of neighborly… In Rusty Nailed, Simon and Caroline find that playing house was never so much fun—or so confusing. With her boss on an extended honeymoon, Caroline’s working long hours to keep the interior design company running and her projects on deadline. And with Simon, her hotshot photographer boyfriend, gallivanting all over the world for his job, the couple is heavy-duty into "absence makes the heart grow fonder" mode. No complaints about the great reunion sex, though! But between Caroline’s crazy work schedule, Simon’s traveling, and house sitting for their friends, will they be able to make their relationship a priority?
