James Michael liked Shann Luvs's review of First Echoes: "⭐ 4.5 Stars First Echoes by James Michael I am going to admit right away that the beginning of this book and I were not immediately best friends.

James Michael liked Melanie’s update Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Melanie shared a highlight from King of the Nerds by James Michael (Goodreads Author) See all Melanie’s notes and highlights for this book I think about all of the “self-proclaimed nerds” that like to pretend that wearing a novelty shirt with a Batman symbol makes them edgy. That shit drives me nuts. Nerds like me, real nerds, didn’t just go to a store and buy this title. We earned it. We earned with every wedgie and swirly we endured. We earned it with every locker we were stuffed inside of.

Not the physical kind. The social battery kind. The kind where your brain feels like it has been running a high-resolution simulation of human interaction for three straight hours. It was time for bed.
