by The Mary Sue Staff | 12:39 pm, November 28th, 2012

The holiday season is upon us, and with that comes the joy—or stress, depending on how you look at it—of giftgiving. If you’re not quite sure about that perfect gift for your parent/sibling/friend/significant other/etc., you might find yourself tempted to resort to the dreaded gift card. But, dear reader, we believe in you. We know that you have it in you to do better. But everyone needs a little help, and that’s where our Holiday Gift Guide comes into play.

Whether the giftee in question is a comics geek, a film geek, an animation geek, whatever—there’s something to be found for them on this list. You can thank us later.

Contest! Win a Deluxe Edition of the 50th Anniversary Printing of Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time! Today Only!

by Susana Polo | 12:55 pm, January 27th, 2012

The Time Quartet’s Meg Murray is a brave, prideful, and stubborn female protagonist that I find more and more relatable as I grow older. The series contains some really deep musing on science, religion, family, and the usefulness of love, and then wraps up with time travel and flying unicorns. So, it’s really a perfect storm of tiny nerd girl interests, or at least it was for this formerly tiny nerd girl.

But nerd girls have been falling in love with a A Wrinkle in Time longer than I’ve even been alive, significantly longer, and this week marks the 50th anniversary of the release of A Wrinkle in Time. Macmillan Publishers have given us a copy of the 50th anniversary edition of the book, packed with never before published material to give to one lucky person. Find out how to enter after the jump, and act fast!

Make sure every tiny superhero gets her daily helping of whole grain oats. Or else she’ll get cranky and tired and end the world as we know it. (via Superheroes Are For Girls, Too!)
