I really enjoyed reading this handy little guide book! Quirk Books really knows how to put together wonderfully interesting and visually stunning books. Sam Maggs has put together a fantastic and comprehensive guide to all things fangirl; whether you are new to being a fangirl or you are an "old pro" at fangirling over your favorite fandoms this book is for you!

I really enjoyed the sections on popular fandoms, the lingo definitions, the Con tips, interviews with authors and creators, and the information on feminism. This tiny book is jam packed with great information for anyone (boys and gender neutral people too!) who loves something beyond just being a "fan". Thank you Sam Maggs and Quirk Books for this wonderful book, I will definitely be using this handy guide in the near future!

"I'm the Doctor, not a companion; Buffy, not Bella; nobody's sidekick, love interest, or token female. I'm driving this ship. I'm a fangirl, a feminist, and a force to be reckoned with." The Geek Girls Litany for Feminism page 155

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is into geek, book, or TV show culture and wants to dive a little deeper and become even more immersed into the worlds they love. There are even more conventions and events than the ones in this book so go forth into the internet and find the events for the things you fangirl (or fanboy) over!
