Summer in Sand Lake isn’t complete without a trip to Meade Creamery—the local ice cream stand founded in 1944 by Molly Meade who started making ice cream to cheer up her lovesick girlfriends while all the boys were away at war. Since then, the stand has been owned and managed exclusively by local girls, who inevitably become the best of friends.

Throwback Thursday Review: Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas
The Throwback Thursday review is where I take a book I recently reread and review it with new eyes. It could be a book I’m reading for the second, third, fourth or millionth time. Some books haven’t been read in years so its fun to throwback and see if my opinion has changed!
In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king’s champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien.
Please keep in mind that Throwback Thursday reviews are based on reread books. They most likely will contain spoilers as the books have already been released for some time. This is your only warning if you want to avoid spoilers for these books.
Book Review: Royals by Rachel Hawkins
Meet Daisy Winters. She’s an offbeat sixteen-year-old Floridian with mermaid-red hair; a part time job at a bootleg Walmart, and a perfect older sister who’s nearly engaged to the Crown Prince of Scotland. Daisy has no desire to live in the spotlight, but relentless tabloid attention forces her to join Ellie at the relative seclusion of the castle across the pond.
“What They Don’t Know” by Nicole Maggi and Why We Need This Book Now
Fairly recently, I did a review (which you can read here) about a book by my dear friend Nicole Maggi. I would normally read anything that Nicole wrote anyway but when she spoke of writing this book a couple years ago, I waited in anticipation of it.
What A Nerd Girl Says Has A New Location!
Just a quick PSA: Due to some screw ups on the part of a site that shall not be mentioned because I’m a nice person and I don’t want to throw shade out into the universe…I have lost my rights to whatanerdgirlsays.com. This was actually pretty heartbreaking to me and I am going to try the best that I can to get my hands back on it as soon as possible but in the meantime, I don’t want to lose this blog. I know I’ve been VERY VERY behind in posts lately BUT this blog means the world to me so I had to do everything I could to save the whatanerdgirlsays brand.
So here we are: whatanerdgirlsays.ORG. If you are a subscriber via email, you will still receive emails, and obviously my instagram and twitter and such will stay the same. However, searching for the .com website will result in nothing anymore. I’m working on having it forward to the new web address but I’m not massively tech savvy so it’ll definitely be a work in progress.
In the meantime, I just want to thank you all for your never ending and relentless support of this little blog. It means the world to me and its a huge part of the reason that I keep doing it.
Happy Reading!
