At first, Jude and her twin brother Noah, are inseparable. Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them. 
       Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways . . . but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor. 

       Spring is in the air, my fellow readers! March is one of my favorite months of the year. The weather gets warmer than February, I spend more time outdoors than I did during basketball season, AND it’s my birthday month! (March 22nd, if any of you feel so inclined to send me books, hahaha) Besides being a good time of year, there are so many great book releases this month that I can’t wait to read. 

       I know what you’re thinking: “ASHTON IT’S THE FREAKING MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY WHERE WAS THIS POST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH?!” First of all: ow, my ears. Second of all: ImsosorrypleaseforgivemeitwillneverhappenagainIpromise. I have no idea how it happened, but I looked up, and it was the middle of the month, and somehow, Precommendations had slipped my mind. But never fear, my noble book lovers, because today is the day you finally get your February releases!

       We’ve all been there. February 14th is the day where all us single people get to watch the happy couples fawn over each other. So while we all say we don’t care that we don’t have a valentine, it can be sad to think we don’t have a significant other with whom to share the day. The good news is that you and I are in the same boat, and I have compiled a small list of charming and amusing stories that are sure to be better than any valentine you could’ve gotten. (Unless you received a stack of books from someone as a valentine. Or a giant cake. Then it probably won’t be better. However, it will come close. I promise.)

       Fanfic, cosplay, cons, books, memes, podcasts, vlogs, OTPs and RPGs and MMOs and more—it’s never been a better time to be a girl geek. The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy is the ultimate handbook for ladies living the nerdy life, a fun and feminist take on the often male-dominated world of geekdom. With delightful illustrations and an unabashed love for all the in(ternet)s and outs of geek culture, this book is packed with tips, playthroughs, and cheat codes for everything from starting an online fan community to planning a convention visit to supporting fellow female geeks in the wild.
