(Entrepreneurs, startup founders, young professionals, and creative professionals would be wise to pick this book up.)” —Fortune“A creativity guide that positively vibrates with [Day’s] bubbly comedic sensibility. . . . She writes, ‘Playfulness is the root of all creation.’ Her book delights in manifesting that idea.” —BookPagePraise for You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost): “Felicia is a lot of fun, and so is her book.” —George R.R. Martin“Smart, funny, endearing, nerdy, and maybe also a little bit brave—in other words, very much like its author.” —John Scalzi, Hugo Award-winning author of Redshirts“Felicia Day gives us an achingly funny, honest, open look at being 'situationally famous,' (I love that phrase), plus the vital art of finding your creative joy, and weathering the storms that follow. It's a wonderful book. Buy it before I grab all the copies.” —Rachel Caine, author of The Morganville Vampires“[An] inspirational comic memoir . . . to set alongside Tina Fey's Bossypants, Amy Poehler's Yes Please, Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl and Sarah Silverman's The Bedwetter. Young people of both sexes and every gender should find much to empower them. (Older people, too, for that matter.)” —Los Angeles Times“Written in her engaging and often hilarious voice, it's just downright fun to read.” —USA Today (3.5 out of 4 stars)“At last, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) reveals the secret origin story of everyone’s favorite geek super heroine! Felicia Day’s memoir is honest, hopeful, and hysterical. It’s the story of a girl who grew up lost and lonely—then became a self-made internet rock star. Reading it will make you feel like you can take on the whole Empire yourself.” —Ernest Cline, author of Ready Player One“Relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational to anyone who grew up a geek and continually doubts themselves to this day. That’s a pretty wide audience, if I had to guess. . . . Day’s fans will obviously like the memoir, but it has more than niche appeal. It’s not meant to be a self-help book, but I found that’s the effect it had on me all the same.” —Forbes.com“Quirky, uplifting and full of stories about embracing your inner nerd. Day has proven herself to be as talented in front of the camera as she is behind it. It's evident that she's a brilliant businesswoman whose avatar has secured a residence in digital media past, present and future.” —Associated Press"Charming and funny." —Marie Claire“Day writes charmingly. . . . [She] is delightfully good company and has an interesting story to tell.” —Kirkus Reviews“A super (and superquirky) memoir.” —Booklist“Day’s writing is warm and charming. Fans of her work will gobble this up, but anyone who has ever despaired of finding their passions would benefit from a read as well.” —Library Journal“An illuminating
