This new book will be of interest to many readers of Geek Girl Soup. "Black Magic Women: Terrifying Tales by Scary Sisters" is a collection of short horror stories written by Black Women.

Based on TEN DUEL COMMANDMENTS from HAMILTON  by Lin-Manuel Miranda. By Susan Monk & assistant co-writer Pat Sponaugle

The bad news: I might be Comic-Conned out for a while. The good news: I've really enjoyed all of the events I've gone to this summer.

Guest writer, Todd Eckert (producer of Control and founder of Tin Drum), gives his views on the reveal of Ben Affleck as the latest actor to take on the role of Batman.

So, I decided to tackle a "small" topic for my introductory Geek Girl Soup article -- the geek-tastic, droolworthy San Diego Comic-Con!! Yikes!

Breaking Bad starts in August, so I'm taking my time watching the entire series again. In the meantime I found a recipe to make blue rock candy.

Comicpalooza and Galacticon III just ended. It was another great Memorial Day weekend of events for Geek Girl Soup.

AggieCon was last weekend and it was awesome (this coming from someone who really only attended half of what was offered).

The Emmy Awards were handed out a couple of days ago, some went the way we thought they would, some others didn’t. Here’s what we would have voted for in a few of the categories:

When you read a book, you use the words on the page to create a look and sound in your mind. In a film or tv show, the looks and sounds are all chose for you by the people bringing the story to life.

Susan and Neil decided that I must at some point…in the NEAR future watch Drive. Not too difficult a request considering I had a copy of it sitting on my desk that I just hadn’t gotten around to. Tonight seemed like as good a night as any.

Since I miss Community, here's some information about one of my favorite characters on the show, Señor Ben Chang played by Ken Jeong. Our favorite study group met because of Señor Chang's Beginning Spanish class.

Yesterday was my 33rd birthday. I celebrated with friends and family at dinner last night and I hope fun was had by all. My geek girl was definitely represented...by the fact that my mom decorated the table with little boxes of Nerds (candy) or by the gifts I was given. A Doctor Who coffee mug and the first season of South Park were among the many generous gifts.

Happy Valentine's Day. Today we bring you a selection from Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore. Enjoy!

A favorite quote from a favorite author or two—Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith

Not since Magnum P.I. has a super sleuth been so appealing. In 2004 we were introduced to Veronica Mars, arguably the most underrated high school character ever seen in prime time television.

One of the best characters on the TNT show SouthLAnd, is Detective Lydia Adams, played by Regina King. The show, which aired first on NBC, follows several police officers and detectives on the streets of Los Angeles.

I watched "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" on New Year’s Eve during our Dead Man Watching Film Festival as a tribute to the passing of Pete Postlethwaite. He remains the best thing about this cynical cash-in sequel.

A favorite quote by a favorite author—C.D. Payne.

Over the weekend Susan, Amelia, and Chris recorded a podcast. It was not the first Em City Podcast covering the first four episodes of OZ. Unfortunately, due to miscommunication and work schedules, not all of us had watched all of the episodes, so we decided to do a New Year’s Resolution podcast instead.
