Week 34: Nerds and Geeks Series

This week's books:
Nerds and Geeks Series
By Vicki Lewis Thompson

This week's book was a set of four novellas about computer programmers and how all four of them fall in love within a few weeks of each other (or at least it seemed like it). If you haven't met my husband you will not understand why I wanted to read about quiet computer programmers that are filled with passion and love fiercely. Of all of this author’s nerd/geek series, these stories seemed to hit closest to my adorable and amazing husband, or at least I thought they would. I had been wanting to read this set of stories ever since I heard about them. As you might remember my favorite romance novelist is this week's author. She has written a whole series on falling in love with nerds, which I read way before I fell for my own geek/nerd.

The delay to me reading this book was due to the fact that they were only offered on Amazon's online services. The problem with this fact was we didn't have any Kindle services. Well somehow the hubby got me access to this book so I devoured this book before I lost the chance to read it.

I’m going to be honest here, I really need to stop reading romance novels. I don't know if I have been in a healthy happy relationship for too long, or I am just a thirty something woman who can't find this even a little realistic anymore. The other problem I had was that each of the novellas were each about fifty or so pages, give or take (my cell phone did not register pages so I can't really tell how long each section was). Well I don't know about you, but sixty or so pages isn't enough time to convey a real love story. It would be enough time to explain four workplace flings, but not long lasting relationships, which this book is trying to show.

My recommendation for this book would be if you happen to be able to read this for free with the Kindle Unlimited service, then go on and read it. It's a fun book filled with nerds doing it. If I was about fifteen years younger I wouldn't be able to recommend it enough. But as a thirty-two year old I wouldn't actually want to spend any money on it.
