Lenni Reviews - "Lisa Simpson's Guide to Geek Chic"

These adorable little books are kinda hard to review. They're not a full story or anything but they make good collectibles or coffee table books for an avid Simpsons enthusiast. There are pullouts, quizzes, and some amusing geek facts as told by our favorite geek girl, Lisa Simpson. There's even a little pocket in the back so you can write your future geek self a letter and see how far you've come with your geek lessons and compare them to your past self. 

If you're like me and are super scared to so much as scratch a page in a book with your fingernail much less write all over it, this book is still a worthwhile purchase if you love Lisa. It even includes vegetarian recipes you can try. It seems a little pricey to me for such a small book at $24.99, but I'm sure if you're a fan, it's worth every cent.

The Simpsons salutes Marcia Wallace with poignant farewell from Bart

The Simpsons" paid Marcia Wallace, who died last week, the show's ultimate compliment at the opening of Sunday night's episode.

"We'll really miss you Mrs. K," scrawled Bart on the chalkboard in the sequence that begins each episode of the long-running FOX animated hit.
It was a reference to Edna Krabappel, Bart's oft-tormented teacher who was voiced for years by Wallace.
In addition, FOX aired a 1992 episode of the show for which Wallace won an Emmy as the lead-in to Sunday's new show. In the classic episode "Bart the Lover," after Edna (Wallace) gives Bart a month of detention, he gets his revenge on her by responding to her newspaper singles ad.
Wallace, also known for her work on "The Bob Newhart Show," died at age 70 from breast cancer last week.

                                                                    Voiced: Edna Krabappel
