I can't mention the Kritzer book without referencing the 2015 story that spawned it, which is also delightful: https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer/_01/_15/

@willaful I am a day into Kate Stayman-London's "Fang Fiction" and trying to balance my apprehension about paranormal stories (not normally my cuppa) with my engagement with Stayman-London's delightful characters. Also reading Naomi Kritzer's "Catfishing on CatNet" aloud to my daughter; also not normally her genre preference but she's absolutely captivated with the characters and setting.
@willaful @romancebooks I ❤️ Jenny Holiday and how she experiments with tropes and styles. Canadian Boyfriend almost felt like it was Abby Jimenez at times (maybe that was the setting). But her books are always memorable in a way not every book is.
@willaful To be fair, I was not that impressed with the first two in the series - I wouldn't even have picked this up if the second ("Wildfire") hadn't been better than the first IMO. Grace is a competent writer, I suspect she's just not telling the kind of story I'm looking to read. @bookstodon @romancebooks
@willaful I seem to have hit a bunch of sports books; I’m reading Grace Reilly’s “Wicked Serve” which is fourth in a series, this one a volleyball player and a hockey player. Just finished listening to Hannah Grace’s “Daydream” which wasn’t really for me; it felt more like it was for people who liked Grace’s last two and just want to hang out with the characters for 11 hours (or 400+ pages, depending on how you read). The pace is glacial. @bookstodon @romancebooks
@willaful Yes! I got them both from the library at the same time, so when we finish “Catfishing” we will probably roll straight on into “Chaos” @romancebooks
