Okay, so summer classes sound like a bore. Why be in school when you can lounge by the pool? You have your gen eds, like mathematics, English, and science. But what about those summer electives? Go on, branch out. Summer can absolutely include learning, and the very best teachers are the ones from literature.

Today is Embrace Your Geekness Day and we're celebrating everything that makes our readers awesome. 

While geekness can be broadly defined, we like to think of it as the inner overly-obsessed fangirl in all of us. And, as if the stars perfectly aligned, The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy is July's Summer Book Club selection. Tonight at 7 p.m. EST Sam Maggs will on Facebook Live, taking your questions and showing off her geek collections. Plus, we hear there will be massive giveaways—including ARCs of her new book, Wonder Women.

In the meantime, don't miss out on this awesome Flash Giveaway happening now.

In honor of Embrace your Geekness Day, here are a few literary geeks that saved the day!

Go geeks!

UPDATE # 4: Last catch of the day?

Okay, we know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. That’s why we’ve assembled some awesome books worthy of your time—books that also have crazy beautiful covers just begging to inspire an outfit or accessory. We’ve done that for you in the wardrobe staples below. Fashion + books is a killer combo.

Summer is truly here, and if you haven’t made it to the beach yet, it’s time to get some sand between your toes! The beach is the perfect place to kick back and enjoy some sun… along with some favorite reading material. No matter where you are in the world, reading on the beach feels indulgent. Summer reading is even better stretched out on a towel, and we want to celebrate it. Load up with bookish beach goodies for your next trip to the seaside, and enjoy the sunshine without missing out on your favorite character’s adventures.
