You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost): A Memoir | 
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another memoir by a quirky redhead. I know Day from Supernatural, and I am pleased to say that she seems every bit as funny and insightful as I would have expected. My only complaint is the lack of any juicy details of her time on Supernatural, and (my fault) that since I am not familiar with the web show she wrote and starred in, The Guild, those chapters were a tiny bit lost to me. Now I have to go familiarize myself.
pick-The foreword by Joss Whedon was so cringy.
-1st half of the book did not hold my attention as she talked about family life, being homeschooled and college and being an over achiever.
-2nd half was great, I love the Guild and when we got into that portion I was hooked! The Guild, her struggles with anxiety and depression and #GamerGate were discussed in the last half and it was humorous while still being vulnerable and relatable.
I know this isn‘t the fanciest book journal 📓🤓 but I had to add my last finished book and check my progress. 5 books by the end of June (totally doable!) will get me 1/2 way to my goal 1/2 way through the year! (Yellow highlighted are audiobooks, green are conventional, I designated blue for ebook but haven‘t read any yet) tagged book is started and will be #26 or 27
These two books stand out as reads that #motivated me to take a chance, try something, say yes, and figure out me. I don't really read self help, but these combine memoir with motivation. Highly recommended reads!

pickLove Felicia day and this was such a great book to understand her and so much more
pickAudiobook- always a fan of memoirs read by the author.
pickI rarely give a Goodreads 5 star review (for reference: out of 101 books read in 2019, 2 got ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️), but I loved this book!
My hubby gave me this amazing blanket as an early Yule gift and it‘s perfect for cuddling up with a book! Plus it‘s a great book
pickThis is the book I have probably read/listened to the most since I was in school.
It's like having a friend always around to tell you fun, weird stories and keep you company.
So much love for Felicia Day and her inspirational (to me) work ♡

pickI should probably use a more flattering pic of Felicia, but eh, this one's amusing.
I'm a fan of Felicia Day, and have been since The Guild was released back in the day. It's surprising it took me this long to pick up this book, honestly.
I had fun with this book. It's very much a memoir, and as usual she's very honest, even when you can tell it hurts a little. After reading this, I'm looking forward to her upcoming book.
so-soCute. Nerdtacular. Need I say more?
pickI. Loved. This. Book!
The writing was wonderful! Fully accessible and charming, I very quickly found myself not only identifying a lot with her, but laughing out loud too. She was so open and honest. And even though she talked about things like depression and anxiety, she injected it with humor. This book has inspired me to be more creative. Felicia Day is a badass. Seriously. Five full stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It‘s raining and overcast today, and this kind of weather almost always gives me a headache. So I‘m having some coffee (irregular heartbeat be damned) and listening to this audiobook. I‘m hoping the small jolt of caffeine will help my head, and Arya is enjoying licking out my empty mug. 👍☕️

I know I‘ve posted about this speaker before, but it deserves another shoutout. This little Bluetooth, waterproof baby has made #AudioShowering (and bathing, if you have a loudish jetted tub like I do) a happy event! 📲🗣🚿
1. Not exactly funny but it does have its lol moments.
2. I bought books and didn‘t get picked to serve on a jury.

You've allprobably already seen it, but for those who haven't: Litsy is now on the web as well :)
The first thing I noted about it was that the images are larger and we can now see our books in all their photogenic glory :D
The app will probably always remain my go-to incarnation of litsy, but I think the website is a very nice addition.
pickMy husband recommended o listen years ago, but I just got around to it now that we‘ve merged our audible accounts. I know of and like Felicia Day, but wouldn‘t consider myself a crazy fan, but this is a funny listen. Frequently found myself laughing out loud with it. #audiobook
Page 1 and I'm already laughing!
Wow, two bails in one week; I think that's a record for me! So now I'm going to treat myself to a book I've been looking forward to reading! Hello, Felicia!
so-soThis was interesting and funny for the most part but I think maybe audio was the wrong choice for this one. It was honestly, a little bit annoying when listening. I felt like there was going to be more to this and was a little disappointed by the content.
Y is not my letter.
📚 You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) was okay.

pickMy first audiobook of the new year and my first #booked2019 book! #relatedtoapodcast
This was such a fun read! Felicia Day is one of the best memoir readers I‘ve heard yet. Charming, friendly, funny- I felt like I was right there in the room with her listening to her stories.
pickI love audiobooks read by the author. It's like taking a car ride with another actual person. Just kidding. I thought this one was especially lovely. 💖📚🎧🎻

#Denver Public Library Sale!! Went on the last day and still wound up with half a box. My fondest memories of my childhood are from going to book sales with my Dad. So much excitement over books! My favorite from this haul is definitely by #FeliciaDay ❤️📚📦
Audiobooks count for #13in3, right @Samplergal ? I‘m now 5 hours, 42 mins deep and finished with my errands for the day. Preparing to make lunch, some hot tea, and curl up with Sleeping Beauties by Stephen/Owen King and continue to make headway — I have a solid quarter of the 700 page book left.
This is realistically 10-15% of my TBR pile, but this is what has expanded beyond the capacity of my bookshelves. Hubby says no more shelves. #bookhoarder
1) The only funny books that I've read are memoirs. I liked Felicia Day's, Shonda Rhimes, and Trevor Noah's.
2) April
3) Nope.
4) Sour cream & onion chips and peanut M&Ms
5) Happy Birthday!

Last night, as I was catching up on season 13 of Supernatural, I was pleasantly surprised that Felicia Day was in the episode! I looked on my Insta and dug up this old photo- of yet another book I purchased and haven‘t read yet. I‘m sure it will look lovely in my home library some day. 😇 Any of you Littens read this book?
"I read a book!" That's what I say in real life as soon as I read the last line of a book. Ask my boyfriend and my kids. They always reply the same too. Either "I know" or "Again". Anyway, finished this last night. So, I read a book.
Slept in a bit so I‘m starting today with an audiobook while making some tea and eating breakfast. 11 hours to go! How‘s everyone else doing? #24in48 #24in48readathon #audiobookinthemorning #youreneverweirdontheinternet
Brought the kids to glow night at the indoor trampoline park. While they burn off some summer vacation energy I'm going to read by blacklight. It's almost like finally having a glow in the dark book.
Started my next book #currentlyreading

pickI'm going to have to go back and rewatch Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Despite the fact that I can't say that I remember Felicia Day, this memoir was an entertaining enough read.
"I mean, why isn't HGTV the same channel in every city? Why do they have to make it so hard to decompress while watching people remodel things? I need to see couples fight over landscaping costs before I go to sleep at night. This is important for me!"
pick#12 In my humble opinion, there's no better way to read a celebrity memoir than to listen to them read it. They're just sharing their story of success and they'll get the tone exactly right. When I read it on my own, I get the tone all wrong and they sound condescending. I'm a big fan of The Guild and Dr. Horrible Sing Along Blog, so I enjoyed reading about how this math/music prodigy managed to make it in Hollywood via the Internet. #Readharder
LOVED LOVED LOVED this audiobook! Although I didn't have an eccentric upbringing and I'm not much of a gamer (because I know I'd become unhealthily obsessed), I can completely relate to Felicia...especially the neurotic, anxious, & awkward Felicia. Truely funny and inspiring, Felicia Day has officially been moved up to RL role model...most of my role models are more fictional, so yay! 🙌
“.. You‘re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a “relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational #memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world...” This book “is proof: everyone should celebrate what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, b/c anything is possible now—even for a digital misfit..” #TBR
