I had been putting off reading Day's book .. I have been reading a lot of memoir lately and had been disappointed by some of them, particularly celebrity memoir. So I was worried that this would be another poorly-edited, lackluster entry in my memoir reading. Well, it is 100% not that - in fact, completely the opposite. Day's writing is excellent; her voice is charming; her stories fun, honest and a little disarming - this is a wonderful book. 
 Granted, I am a self-style geek and I am familiar with Day's work on The Guild - but I am not a big gamer (at least not MMORGs like World of Warcraft), so that shouldn't be a barrier to anyone thinking about reading this. Day has a lot of great things to say about inclusion, addiction and getting things done. But most of all, her story of just getting things done is inspiring and should be a beacon for anyone wondering "But, can I just do that?" One of her many mottos is "You can attempt anything" and more of us should live by that. 
 Top-notch book, definitely one of my favourites of the year. Pair this with Mastromonaco's Who Thought This Was a Good Idea and you have a perfect gift for anyone (particularly young women) who needs some can-do attitude and inspiration!
