Throwback to last night, when I fried up some leftovers to go with another chunk of WINTER. I loathe winter, fully and completely, but these essays are fascinating. Adam Gopnik delves into how and why people engage positively with winter, with a hefty emphasis on how many of those who romanticize it are winter tourists who have the option to leave it when it gets a bit rough, or people who equate suffering with virtue.

Review: This is a hockey romance, but it‘s not really a hockey romance. Cont
pickAnd finally, Henry‘s story—a slow burn with tension that builds for over half the book. Not as spicy as the others, but satisfying and emotionally rewarding. Book #44 in 2025
pick5🌟/5🌟
I am loving this series so much! I think I liked this one better than the first one, which I didn't think possible. Can't wait for the final book!
pickThis was exactly the romance I wanted to read. I loved Riley and Lucky. I loved Adam. And I loved them all together. Hockey romance at its finest.
