Japan has a long history of crime fiction. From police procedurals, thrillers, murder mysteries and assassins, Japan has it all.

I've wanted to make a post on this for A WHILE, but how do you refer to authors during review and posts?
While reading reviews and posts, I see some people refer to authors by their first names, others by their last names. It's made me quite conflicted on how to refer to them myself.
But a pattern I've seen quite often is that male authors tend to be referred to by their last names, while female authors tend to be referred to by their first names. I wonder if I'm the only one who noticed this. Personally, I don't really think it's fair towards female authors. If you refer to an author by their last name, then you must do so for all authors no matter their gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, etc.
Now, I just usually say either the author's full name, or just refer to them as "the author" in posts and reviews.
This isn't EXACTLY what I'm trying to say but idk how to phrase it, but I hope y'all understand what I mean đđ

I did not predict the killer, and think that Oliver and Ricky are so cute together. I fully intend to read the sequel when itâs published!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. Happy long weekend to those who get one. And general happy weekend vibes to everyone else.
What are your plans for the weekend? Are you going to get some time to read? Starting a new book? Seeing family? School work catch-up (of whatever level)? The boring odds and ends of life?
I'm skipping a family event on Sunday, but I have an Easter afternoon tea tomorrow, which should be fun. Other than that, I'll be reading either the book I started this morning or the book I can't get out of my mind (I hate my Insta algorithm right now for introducing me to this).
