This was delightful, heart-warming and incredibly needed. It was an anthology that spanned so many different voices and I really think that's so vital. It was such a joy to read.
"Our Joy, Our Power"—5 stars. I really loved this one! The writing was lyrical, the romance was adorable and the Fan-Con setting was so cool!
"The Book Club"—3 stars. This one felt a little generic/young for me, unfortunately, but I did enjoy that it was a story about books!
"Nina Evans, In the Round"—5 Stars. My theater kid heart is so happy! As somebody who is disabled, I know that the theater industry can sometimes be difficult with casting, but this story was so beautiful and I adored it.
"Earth is Ghetto"—4 stars. This one was really interesting. I thought it had a very unique tone, and I don't usually read Sci-fi like that, so it was a nice step out of my comfort zone.
"Initiative Check"-4 stars. I LOVE D&D! This one was really cute and creative.
"Corner Booth"—5 stars. The grumpy/sunshine vibes and the incorporation of spelling... impeccable.
"Betty's Best Craft"—4 stars. This was cute but I found myself a little confused throughout.
"The Panel Shows the Girl"—4.75 Stars. This one was incredibly innovative, cool, and fun to read!
"Spirit Filled"—4 stars. This one hit a little close to home for me... it was really sweet and very emotionally evocative.
"Cole's Criuse Blues"—4.5 stars. What a fun time! I wanna go on a cruise now. This had a great message.
"Hich Strangeness"—4 stars. This one was beautifully-written. The vibes were en pointe!
"Catalyst Rising"—3 stars. I'm not a big science fan... I was sad I didn't like this more but it just didn't work for me.
"Requiem of Souls"—5 stars. AHHH! This was so creepy-cool! The music and the ghosts and the whole vibe... it was just fascinating.
"Honor Code"—4 stars. This one was interesting; I enjoyed the social media aspect.
"Drive Time"—4 stars. This was cute and funny! I had a great time reading.
"Wolf Tracks"—5 stars. This concept was incredible and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
"The Hyo's Journey"—3.5 stars. This had some interesting aspects but fell a little flat for me.
"Abyss"—3 stars. This was cool and action-packed, as well as having an interesting format.
Overall, this was truly such a cool experience and a great way to start Black History Month. My heart is full!

Loved this book! So great to see so many stories of nerdy black kids and I loved the broad variety of types of “nerd” too. Didn’t love all the stories but there’s something for everyone.

This was a pretty decent short story collection! I loved a good chunk of the characters and I loved seeing them all live out their best nerdy dreams.

I really enjoyed the book! I just kept getting distracted/more engaged in other books and I couldn't keep extending my loan on the book.
