Mashable writer's debut YA novel about esports gets snazzy cover and juicy excerpt
By Proma Khosla
When not churning out killer TV, film, and game reviews for this website every day, Mashable's Senior Entertainment Reporter Alexis Nedd wrote a book.
Don't Hate the Player is Nedd's (feels weird not to call her Alexis) debut novel via Bloomsbury, about the high-stakes world of competitive esports and two players from opposing teams who fall in love. Sounds like a book we'd extremely read, and a movie we will extremely watch.
"I played a lot of multiplayer games in high school and even back then, the friendships and dramas that came up through our avatars on the screen were so interesting to me," Nedd told Mashable. "I wanted to write a book that was a love letter to that part of being online, where someone you talk to every night while slaying dragons could be someone you pass by at school and never even notice. I loved writing these two nerds dancing around their dorky little feelings. Sometimes it felt like I was in the game chat hanging out with them instead of actually writing them — is that weird? I don’t know, it’s my first novel. Everything’s weird."
A cover for a book we are definitely going to read.
Quand on découvre l’IPTV, on a tendance à choisir rapidement sans vraiment comprendre les critères essentiels. C’est exactement ce que j’ai fait au début, et j’ai perdu pas mal de temps à tester des services peu fiables. En prenant le temps de lire des informations autour de solution abonnement iptv stable, j’ai pu mieux structurer ma compréhension et éviter certains pièges classiques. Ce que j’ai trouvé utile, c’est la manière dont les éléments sont expliqués de façon simple, sans compliquer inutilement le sujet.
