I have the perfect rec. In HOME ICE ADVANTAGE by Ari Baren, Ryan is a newly divorced, retired NHL player coaching *peewee* hockey. He is offered the head coaching job in Boston & falls in love w/ Eric, one of his asst. coaches. This is also a great rec for anyone who is suffering HR withdrawal!
Ahhh! Love it! Sounds fab. Great cover too 🏒🔥
Maybe some sports shenanigans but make it Romance? (Will help me get out of my season ending funk): bsky.app/profile/four...
I wish when certain people were given a platform not granted to many in a woman-focused space, they remembered it's not a personal blog anymore
And if someone walks up and asks for a seat at the table, you just let them sit instead of smugly insulting them & gossiping with the cool kids club after
I envy your RT collection!
Also, that model is really giving Melanie Griffith in Working Girl there
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! It's so pretty!
You had me on board when you were talking about Black Silk recently. I own Untie My Heart but haven't cracked it yet
Did I buy UMH for the stepback... MAYBE... but also because any FMC described as a sheep farmer with a colorful past seems like it needs reading
The entire time I was reading SEPs Honey Moon last week I think my mouth was hanging open. Like how...HOW?!...but also, I had a great time because so much story
And I think your recent Ivory journey is inspiring a TBR rearrangement over here
It would never happen intentionally 👻
Toronto's George Springer got hit in the head by a pitch at the end of July and was on the injured list for a concussion. So this post was his "he's back" update. And for a scary situation, this is funny as hell 🤣
It's like these ghouls looked at Kent State as
mission accomplished instead of humanitarian failure
I CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT GET THE NOTIFICATION ON THIS! WTH Bluesky. You know I live for this precise collision of baseball innuendo
Steak & Shake changed their sign here a few weeks ago and I was sure this was some MAGA dog whistle. Or for MAHA is that a dinner bell?
Either way, this ep dropped at exactly the right time to clear up my suspicions

Book cover with title Skipper, Why Baseball Managers Matter by Scott Miller
📕 ✅ One of my fav sports ARCs I received this year -
@scottmillerbbl.bsky.social “Skipper: Why Baseball Managers Matter (and Always Will)” - is now available
Counsell is in this one, as are all the big names in the modern game. Really solid insight into how different the job is today.
I’ll never know if the source material is better than the film because I’ll never bother with the source material.
Yesterday would have been my dad’s 80th birthday. (He made it to 55) I went to pick up the phone to call mom because we usually wished him a HBD
Didn’t remember I couldnt do that anymore because mom is now gone too
Being without parents, grandparents, or siblings is so strange sometimes
Have to say, Harlequin's website is such a mess it's impressive. Still can't log in to my account. Can't see any books when I'm on mobile. When I sent a customer service note the final suggestion to an iOS person was to try using Microsoft Edge.
Do they not want people to buy books?
My office at ACS (aka, The Leaning Tower of Dallas) was the SW corner, down one floor from the top.
There was a conf table in that office that I slept *on* for 2.5 hrs before starting work again. Most of my memories of then were having a big title & very little sleep.

Wild, right?
Oh good. He’s still going.
And MLGA kicks us off in the first person, present tense mind of a woman going through menopause. Brian really brought his F-Game on this one.
Here’s the summary of this one…
Wondering what kind of man would put up a Romance on NetGalley called “Make Love Great Again”? This guy.
…who would (on another writer’s book on Goodreads) come to comment bomb me on my rating of a wildly, laughably bad book.

No one talks about Crane Kenney’s influence. He’s a Trib years guy who it seems hasn’t changed his fiscal behaviors.
The Cubs were just blood donors keeping the LA Times & the Trib alive back then.
If they are *really* broke now, Crane is bad at his job and/or robbing Peter to pay Paul again.
Another example of why you cannot trust Amazon to not abandon any projects at any time if they don’t turn a max profit. This is what happens with a move fast and break things attitude.
Start crap with wild abandon. Make people who grew to rely on it repent in leisure.
Get out your pilfered spectacles and go all in, it’s time to gamble everything for love and celebrate Derek Craven Day! 👓🎲❤️🔥

This bill in OK is exactly what Project 2025 threatened: to make all pornography illegal, and criminalize the people who make it, using a WILDLY broad definition of pornography, which would include any book with sex in it.
We're talking jail time for romance authors.

If you think it’s an exaggeration that they will come for books beyond romance, just take a gander at this Kansas Board of Education member calling The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian “smut”

Also, shame on you @nymag.com for being good little foot soldiers.
