Anonymous asked: Okay, so, now that you're suffering and probably in need of a person to rant to: what are the Foxhole Court books about, I am curious and also overly optimistic about how much free time I'm likely to have this summer.

OmG

well first of all I hope you have a great summer!

and secondly /fuck/ where do i start
Basically the foxhole court books (which is actually called the all for the game series) is basically a trilogy about
Well
A game and a team that plays it? God i don’t know how to describe it
But it’s not quite a sports book and it’s not quite a thriller
It’s suspenseful

But the MAIN THING TO UNDERSTAND is that the characters are absolutely incredible. The characters and their interactions are what make everything worth it. They are fantastic.

I’m going to type this with as much seriousness as i can possibly muster
I have read many, many hundreds of books in my life
these were at the fucking top, and Andrew Joseph Minyard is my #1 favorite book character ever

So basically
1) a really interesting (and made-up?) sport that is written really well even for people like me who don’t like sports
2) incredible twists and turns and surprises; a great plot and excellent writing to back it up
3) CHARACTERS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS
4) Andrew Joseph Minyard

also! If you’re planning on reading them, get them all at the same time. (I got all of them on my kindle for $1.98 cause i had some coupon things? but i don’t think the regular prices are much more) They flow right into each other like one big book. Having all three is a necessity in my eyes; it took me two and a half days, i was so caught up. Couldn’t put them down

so
yeah
there is my rave review. :) EVERYONE SHOULD READ THESE FANTASTIC BOOKS
