The Blogger Recognition Award

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here.

I was nominated by Beck and she’s amazing and go check her out.

  6. Comment (or pingback) on each blog and let them know you have nominated them and provide the link to the post you created.

How Geekerella got started

I was basically just bored one day and said to myself “I should start a blog and actually stick with it.” I had started other blogs before that were complete and total messes. (I had like twenty fails) I was previously Pidgeon Art (If you came with me from there, good for you) but rebranded, like, twice. Once I turned into The Art of Nerdyness and now I’m Geekerella Undercover! And people actually like my stuff? That really surprised me.

Two pieces of advice!

  • Be yourself! That’s literally all I’ve been doing here and you guys seem to like it.
  • Write for yourself first. This also applies to stories. Write the kind of story/blog post that you’d like to read.

I’m supposed to nominate eleven of you but I’m not doing that, so do it if you want. Yes. I’m talking to you.

Sooo. Yeah. I hope you guys enjoy! Comment bellow, I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

Hamilton Book Tag (original)

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here. Happy Fourth of July! After trying the Percy Jackson book tag, I had an idea for a Hamilton book tag and wanted to try it.

Before we begin, have you watched Hamilton on Disney+? Comment what you think, your favorite song, and favorite character! I loved it. My favorite song is either Guns and Ships or just Alexander Hamilton! My favorite character is definitely Lafayette.

Rules

  • Thank the person who tagged you and link to their post
  • Link to the original creator
  • Match books with the given prompts
  • Tag anyone you’d like
  • Copy and paste the list of prompts and rules

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. My mom walked in with it from work and I was reading it constantly.

My old sketchbooks. My old art looks so terrible, in my opinion.

The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston. If you haven’t noticed, I love her books.

The Dive trilogy by Gordon Korman. All of his books are so underrated that I’m pretty sure my best friend and I are the whole fandom.

The Percy Jackson series. One of my first fandoms. I can’t remember if Harry Potter was before or after Percy Jackson.

Heroes of Olympus! Not many guns. Unless you count the ballista. But ships? Both the kind that you ride on and the couples are very numerous.

Firestorm by Joan Hiatt Harlow. Only one, but the most plot-pointy spy it could have.

Geekerella! My namesake. Once I read all of my Libby TBR, I know that I’ll reread it.

High school musical the musical the series the novelization. Still waiting. Until I can go to Books a Million, I’ll be waiting for it.

Let’s just say that Imogen and I would be best friends. So I’d say The Princess and the Fangirl, again.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein! It has some of my absolute favorite poems. The combination of his hilarious poems and fun, simple drawings makes the book even more amazing.

I always got so sucked into Rick Riordan’s books. I would be reading in bed and before I knew it, it was way to late.

The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan! I remember having a bad day and just flipping through the pages until I got to my favorite chapter (37. Alex bites my face off).

I didn’t really want to read A Frozen Heart (book retelling of Frozen) but it was really good! Mainly because you got to see why Hans did what he did.

So there you go! Anyone is free to do this.

I hope you enjoy. Comment bellow. I’d love to talk to you! Remember, look to the stars. Aim. Ignite!

The Real Neat Blog Award

| Alex/Elliot/Ricky

Hello nerds, geeks, and dorks! Elle here. I was nominated for The Real Neat Blog Award by Jaedyn! Thank you!

Rules

1. Display the blog award logo in your blog.
2. Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you.
3. Do not forget to link to their blogging website.
4. Answer all the questions they have given you.
5. Nominate 7 to 10 bloggers of your choice.
6. Ask them 7 questions.

Jaedyn’s questions

What is your favorite time period? (Beginning of time to 2010)

Ancient Greek and Roman. I love Percy Jackson and mythology in general. Plus the time is really fun.

What was the first stuffed animal you remember receiving?

A Winnie the Pooh one. I actually still have it!

Have you ever won a contest? What was it for?

I won a contest for best matching costumes at a Christmas party. Me and another girl went a Jack Skeleton from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Does your family have any “weird” foods that you eat every time you see them?

I don’t eat it, but my cousins like ketchup on chips and ice in milk.

Favorite book cover?

The Magnus Chase covers.

Look at them! The colors and poses are so amazing!

What is a last-day-of-school tradition you have/had?

I don’t think I ever had one. Except throwing away any homework I hated. I almost never throw away old creative writing projects, which leads to some very cringe worthy rereads.

Pandora, Spotify, or Itunes?

Actually none of these! I use Tidal. Sometimes I use Spotify, but only for songs that Tidal doesn’t have.

My questions…

  1. Worst book you ever read?
  2. What makes a show unwatchable for you?

  4. Favorite genre of music?
  5. Favorite podcast?
