Today's discussion topic is about narrative method (I don't know the proper term for this so bear with me).

Some stories are told from the beginning, chronologically to the end. Some starts at the end, and then we go back to the beginning. Some are told incorporating outsider POV, some incorporate social media. Some just mess with the timeline.

What have you read that you thought was a unique narrative method? Did it work?

What do you wish there's more of?

(Sorry this is late! I had several pet health issues to deal with this week... It's all good now, I hope)

Time for free for all Friday, a day for random chit-chat!

Do you want to talk about the other novels you are reading or find a read-along partner? Practice your Chinese? Request for fics? Ask for beta readers? Just talk about your day?

Go right ahead!

... Since I completely forgot the Read-in-Progress post this week, this doubles as a Read-in-Progress too if you wish!
