I'm a fan of everything but I only just got back into fandom in general and I'm still not that active in it
Me too, me too! Well, for certain values of "back into" - I doubt I shall commit much public ficcing, apart from comment-a-thons. Also, I so did not miss the wank and am very carefully side-stepping it. (Only just watched BtVS, and, while I want some fic and some meta, I so do not want the apparent endless vitriol.)
The best book I've read recently was Feed by Mira Grant - which, okay, about zombies, sure, but it has the best narrator ever. It's the first of a trilogy, but the following books aren't out yet. Still, it works as a standalone and excels at some things I felt Hunger Games botched. (Like, say, characterisation.) I can't rec a series offhand, but I'll holler if I remember something.
