May Book Club Results: Good, But Not FanFic Good

The book for this months was Fangirl.  Most people liked it and enjoyed the fandom angle: some because they fangirl themselves, other because they had not clue what it was and found it interesting.  

The fanfic excerpts didn't resonate with many readers.  Simon and Baz might have inspired the author and Cath, but they didn't inspire us.  The obvious hint at Harry Potter, and the fact that the story didn't support the main plot, made it fall flat.  Many people seemed to have skimmed, not reading the fanfic, but appreciating that that author wrote it.  That's probably the biggest reason this one was a little lower than I had anticipated at, 

3.5 Stars

Personally, I had this one higher but I think that's because I tend to fangirl all over the place on the daily, and was happy Rowell didn't make Cath change her shipping in order to find happiness in the real world.
