My pick this week is...
Author: Leah Rae Miller
Release Date: May 7th, 2013

Summery:
On the outside,
seventeen-year-old Madelyne Summers looks like your typical blond
cheerleader—perky, popular, and dating the star quarterback. But inside,
Maddie spends more time agonizing over what will happen in the next
issue of her favorite comic book than planning pep rallies with her
squad. That she’s a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body isn’t just
unknown, it's anti-known. And she needs to keep it that way.
Summer is the only time Maddie lets her real self out to play, but when she slips up and the adorkable guy behind the local comic shop’s counter uncovers her secret, she’s busted. Before she can shake a pom-pom, Maddie’s whisked into Logan’s world of comic conventions, live-action role-playing, and first-person-shooter video games. And she loves it. But the more she denies who she really is, the deeper her lies become…and the more she risks losing Logan forever.

I was never the cheerleader, in fact I was the drama geek, but I too had a summer where I became a nerd. Maybe not the same level of nerd, but pretty darn close and that part has hung on and stayed with me. Plus, I know a lot of legit nerds and love them. So, I have to read this one!
What are you waiting for this week? I wanna know!

I was a drama geek in high school too! And I also had a summer that involved letting my nerd flag fly (partially where my love of Star Wars comes from).
This actually sounds like a great summery beach read! Thanks for posting it :)
I just love how reverse it is when usually it's the nerd who becomes popular over the summer! I agree with Melissa: great summer idea feel to it.

I really like the cover of this one, I think it goes with the blurb so well and you don't often see that. She looks so out of place, it's perfect. I can't wait for this one either. Fabulous choice!
This looks so fun! And I love that it's not everyone striving to be popular because really, the nerds have so much fun :) Great choice!
Hmm, I have seen this book around. The cover and title both aren't doing much for me, so I will probably not read it, but I hop you enjoy it when you get the chance to read it! :D
Here is my WoW pick!
This one is definitely on my TBR list and I love the cover. It definitely sounds like a fun read. Great pick and thanks for visiting my WoW!
This sounds interesting... a nerd hiding in a popular girl's body. Unlikely, but the book is worth a try.
I'm a new follower, btw. :)

Oh cool pick I hadn't heard of this one before it looks right up my alley!
This sounds like such a fun book to read this summer! And I am really liking this bookcover too! Adding it to my list! Thanks :)
Theatre geeks unite! *high five*
I obviously agree with this pick. :D It just sounds so fabulous!
Yes! I can't wait to read this one. I love the cover and love Entangled!
Oh, I haven't heard of this one before, but it sounds really fun and cute! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
I adore books with drama in it! And this book sounds awesome. :) Loving the cover, it's fun.
Ooh, cool book. Usually books are like "The Summer I Became Cool" instead of the other way around. I've never heard of it before, but I'm pretty excited to read it! I myself actually didn't have a Summer I Became A Nerd experience, but was more of Summer I Became Way-Less-Socially-Awkward. c:
