A space to chat fandom! Anon!

Got a WIP you're excited about? Want to rave about your fave? Or is your fandom absolutely in love with a character who detracts from every scene they bumble into, and you need somewhere to vent? You're in the right place!

Personally the second in the strike series is my favorite because I like the mystery the most. The third and fourth were ... more mixed, and the fifth is great but long.

If you are interested in The Pillow Book, A Tale for the Time Being (Ruth Ozeki) is a novel that starts each chapter with short excerpts. It's an engrossing story about cross-cultural (mis-)communication, media, feminism, and the meat industry.

Thanks! I'll add it to the list.

Looking forward to the second, then! :D Though with book series, I always seem to have odd opinions about which is best that don't match up with the fandom. Or the author; I've noticed I tend to like the one that the author hated writing the most...

It's clear that the second one was very cathartic, because virtually all of the suspects are in publishing or want to be. There are several very pointed character portraits. It was deliciously angry.

Bahahaha that sounds amazing! I always loved her satire; my fave HP was book 4 partly because she spent so much of it skewering the reporters who were constantly lying about her life.
