Being Geek Chic is a blog for stylish geeks, sophisticated nerds and people who enjoy the musings of a complete dork. Join us as we dream of driving the TARDIS, cuddle with our eBooks and test out an iPad sleeve. It's written by Elizabeth Giorgi and a team of brilliant lady nerds. Meet the team.
It’s been a long while since we’ve given something away around here. And with the holidays upon us, it only makes sense that we would offer up something or another. How about portable tunes?
To enter, we want to do something kind of fun and collectively inspiring. Remember our post last week about the reasons we are thankful to be geeks? Well, we want to hear why you’re thankful!

So remember how I JUST put together my summer must have reading list? Well, time to amend it. I know, it’s only the first week of June, but when I got this giveaway opportunity, I knew it was worth it.
Let’s talk about the reasons why The Enemy series is completely addicting so many nerds. For starters, it’s set in the streets of London in a dystopian future. Kids are the only ones surviving a rampant human flesh eating virus - so that’s fun. Oh and did I mention they are living in the incredible Natural History Museum? Yeah, that too. And now Book 5 is out and everyone wants to know if these awesome, survivalist kids are going to find a cure.
So don’t you want to know?
We’re giving away ALL 5 BOOKS in The Emeny Book Series this week if you tweet:
Compiling an awesome summer reading list with @lizgiorgi over at beinggeekchic.com. Loving #TheFallen - what’s on your list?

Did you know I started this blog over four years ago because I wondered how women with professional, suit wearing jobs maintained their geeky lifestyle in a proud and prominent way? It all started when my cubicle mates started wondering why a grown ass woman would want to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter… I know! Crazy. But here we are.
As part of my continual exploration of this idea, I’m running a contest on instagram and your photos have been so fun. I thought I’d share a few.
Don’t forget, you have until next Monday to post a photo with the hashtag #beinggeekchic for your chance to win a ThinkGeek TARDIS charm bracelet worth $65. I can’t wait to see more of your photos!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
