An instant New York Times bestseller, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a funny and inspirational memoir about Day's upbringing in the South, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness.

Home-schooled in Alabama, Day looked online to find her tribe during the Internet's infancy in the 1990s. Her family's relative isolation meant that Day would pursue passions like gaming, calculus, and 1930's detective novels without shame, with no idea of how "uncool" she might be. Day went on to graduate as a valedictorian with a math degree, then headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting. With zero contacts.

Since then, Day has appeared in many mainstream TV shows and films, including a two-season arc on the SyFy series, Eureka, the CW show Supernatural, the hit web series she created, The Guild, and as co-star in Joss Whedon's Emmy Award-winning Internet musical, "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." In 2012, she launched a YouTube channel called Geek & Sundry that has more than 1.3 million subscribers and more than 200 million views. She has more than 2.3 million Twitter followers, and is the founder of Vaginal Fantasy, a romance and fantasy book club with more than 13,000 members on GoodReads.
