Welcome to Litsy!

Still managed 15 books, even though I've had a reading slump, care work to do, and to watch the Olympics 😁 I might keep my reading schedule like this, because it's nice to spend my evenings with other things as well - and hey, 15 books is still a good amount, right? At least my non-reading friends seem to be impressed 😅

I somewhere stumbled upon this at some point and it just fitted a challenge prompt, so I went into this without really knowing anything about this book. And yes, at the beginning it has some strong SoG vibes and some things might go to easy, but the characters simply deserve this. Next to the scenes that made my heart overflow, Massey addresses some heavy topics (homophobia, ableism, mental health...). There's also a cute GSD and a lovely cat.

This was so adorable! Knowing that it originated as “Check, Please” fanfic made the little nods to it feel like a scavenger hunt, but it was never so close that I felt like the characters were anyone other than themselves. Alex and Eli are wholly original and work together in the best way. 🩵 I inhaled this book and I am immediately starting the next one!

Super sweet G rated M/M #romantsy about a young NHL star and a struggling figure skater / food vlogger. All the warm and fuzzies I could ask for.
