Still Nameless Feature: There's Probably Hope Somewhere

[helloladies]

At the end of every week, we gather at Lady Business HQ to share media thoughts and chat about the recent happenings in our tiny spheres of human experience. Feel free to join in, but note our comment policy if you're new! :D

As always, puns are welcome.

This week was so terrible that there are no words for it. Have a blanket fort.



We've discussed names like Chaturday, Business Casual, The Water Trough, and Ponies Express. Clearly we can use some help and would appreciate your suggestions (feel free to vote in the comments, too)!

WHY NOT BOTH?

GEEK FEMINIST REVOLUTION! *weak grabby hands of need* I might have to go into Waterstones tomorrow and pick up a copy. I'm worried I'm setting my expectations too high, even though I know Kameron Hurley writes stellar non-fiction, so I'm glad you thought it was wonderful?

(There is no help. Well, there's maybe aggressively abusing the library, which is what I do, but that just CHANGES the problem, it doesn't solve it.)

IT DIDN'T CLICK OKAY

Bookseller advice - use the Click & Collect service online to check they have it (and if they don't then get them to transfer a copy down from another store). Most stores got a single copy but we're having trouble getting more in (saaaaad) and some shops that have a single copy sitting in probably won't sell it.

I really liked it (like, I almost cried, liked it) the only rough spot was the inclusion of the essay about winterfox. But what I will say is that she structures the collection so that the (I think) two essays after that one talk about power structures, authors having power and needing to be careful not to punch down on fans who have different opinions. But otherwise I felt like I learnt a lot about writing from this collection, enjoyed the new essays (especially the personal ones in places) & got to hold We Have Always Fought in my hands as a physical object which was super important to me.
