One of the best parts about running this blog is having the ability to meet some really cool people, and some of the coolest people that I have met have led me to really cool blogs. I’ve said it before, no one’s blog is 100% original but everyone’s voices are different so there are blogs that I love to read because I love the writer, and I love the passion that they show for what they are writing. They are fun and interesting to read and they inspire me to get better and better in my blog.
So I decided to do a feature (inspired by Megan at the Nerdy Girlie’s Geek Girls Gab), where I profile the bloggers that I love. Not only do I get to find out more about them, but I also get to share them with you guys! Most of the bloggers that I follow are like me, nerd girls, fan girls and they enjoy the same things as me, and you! Every blogger that I profile is one that is super important to me and I urge you to check them out!
If you are interested in being featured on the Blogger Spotlight, feel free to contact me, please! I would love to hear from you!
Speaking of Megan at the Nerdy Girlie…I think that’s just who might be the featured blogger this week!

Sara: Tell me a little bit about yourself
Megan Gotch is the founder of The Nerdy Girlie blog site. Her nerdiness came on at a young age when she received an NES for Christmas. It then became full blown upon her first trip to San Diego Comic Con in 2009. Each year she eagerly awaits the Con and her fan girl list continues to grow. Megan enjoys TV, photography, writing and ballet. Her nerd crush is Zachary Levi and her current obsession is Doctor Who. She lives in San Diego and hopes to never leave.
Sara: Tell me a little bit about your blog!
Megan: My blog is called The Nerdy Girlie where I nerd out about nerdy and girlie things! Mostly nerdy though! My favorite thing to share about is San Diego Comic Con! I love helping new and old attendees with tips and tricks to have the best Comic Con ever! My favorite girlie part of my blog is our Every Day Cosplay series. In it I show you how to dress like your favorite nerd characters with your every day wardrobe.
Sara: What inspired you to start your blog/vlog/podcast
Megan: San Diego Comic Con inspired me to start The Nerdy Girlie. I had been writing on a personal blog, but after my 4th year at SDCC I thought it was time to focus on my love of all things nerdy! My blog has helped me grown in all of my fandoms and make some awesome new nerd friends along the way!
Sara: What is your favorite nerd memory?
Megan: My favorite nerd memories would have to be all centered around Comic Con. It is there where I can let my fan girl out for a week and everyone understands! The BEST memories of Comic Con are having been able to meet Zachary Levi, Sam Witwer and Joss Whedon. I can’t wait for this year where I can finally meet all my twitter friends and maybe have more time with Zach?! :)
Sara: What are you most looking forward to, as far as new books/movies/etc?
Megan: Star Trek for Ben Cumberbatch, Thor 2 for Zachary Levi and of course Comic Con!
(note: interview was done prior to Star Trek release!)
Sara: As my blog is mostly about books and reading, what are some of your favorite books or authors to read?
Megan: Nicholas Sparks is my most favorite author. I found him randomly in the book store one day while browsing and was a fan ever since. I even got to meet him at a signing once. The only famous author I have ever met. Other favorite books would be Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Twilight {yes yes…LOL}. Dystopian would be my favorite genre to read. I have been frequenting the library a lot lately and I love getting lost in the shelves.
Sara: What are some of your favorite blogs to follow?
Megan: Being Geek Chic, When Nerds Attack, San Diego Comic Con Unoffical Blog, Girl Gone Geek, Crazy 4 Comic Con
Sara: Who is your fictional crush? (What? I’m featuring girl bloggers and we all have them :) )
Megan: Chuck, Captain Malcolm Reynolds and of course the 10th Doctor…swooooooooon!!
One of the best cosplay outfits I’ve ever seen. So cool. :)
I hope you all enjoyed getting to know Megan a little bit today! Definitely check out her blog, and other social medias. She is a cool girl, always manages to entertain me with her blog and has the 411 on San Diego Comic Con for all of you!
Don’t forget to check out last week’s featured Blogger, Tatiana from City of Shadowhunters!
This is my Granddaughter Meg The Nerdy Girlie and I am so very proud of her.
Ahh so sweet! I’m sure she is easy to be proud of, she is a GREAT girl and I’m glad to have met her!
I love the Marty McFly cosplay!
