I was anticipating the whole thing at Ilya's home, the stay, the tuna melts, the couch I was not prepared for the "All the things she said" needle drop or the 4th wall break, even having being "spoiled"

what the FUCK you guys 😭😭😭 This show has my whole heart and soul

‘Heated Rivalry’ has been renewed for Season 2. (deadline.com/2025/12/heated…)

you guys i have to WORK i wont be able to watch the new episode for like 14 HOURS i may as well DIE whats the point of ANYTHING

I love people who get paid more than me doing their job like "ChatGPT said xyz" and I'm just there as the person who ACTUALLY READ THE DOCUMENT having to say "Fun fact, that's a lie! Actually,..." 🙃

Con: sick Pro: have reread Tough Guy, Common Goal and Role Model in the last 24 hours

I was babysitting my niece this weekend and the lovable plague rat coughed all over me and now I'm getting sick 🤒

Holy fuck, did they PAINT that under armor shirt on Scott or something 😅

Unfortunately it is summer, and this does NOT feel like something I can watch while the sun is still up, so I gotta wait a while 😂

Episode 3 has been... acquired... evening plans sorted 😍

Not to brag or anything, but I (a) had the energy to shower at least one every single day this week and (b) didn't faint or need to sit down once. In related news, iron supplements might actually be useful. Who'd have guessed 😂

Ok, so this is new for my country. There's a really dumb limit though, right? Something like 15h a month (of original content, not by speed played)?

I love whatever's wrong with him 😂

The fact that my "Top Songs" playlist has Espresso on it when I violently hate it and hit skip every time it gets shoved my way by the Spotify algorithm tells me all I need to know about the data quality of their Wrapped

Jacob Tierney you absolute treasure

I thought getting a library card this year meant I'd cut down on the number of books I buy. Apparently not... oops. Maybe next year!

21 feels optimistic for someone who spent a significant amount of time listening to Enya songs I once had in CASETTE TAPE 😂

For the folks getting into Heated Rivalry and needing something to keep them going until the next episode, did you know that you can read Ilya's POV of the Las Vegas hotel scene on the author's website? www.rachelreidwrites.com/news/2024/3/24

Found this from last year's wrapped. 9-1-1 hiatus vibes were so different 😭

Once again, top lists are thrown ou because of random "listen to this song on repeat all day until you hate it" hyperfixation loops, but here's some of my Wrapped

Just yapping about fictional firefighters and romance novels

This look was chosen for all the millennials who survived the Deep V years

It's always "hey, Whim's not doing anything, they can house-sit/dog-sit for us while we go away for the weekend" and never "hey, Whim's not doing anything, should we invite them to join us?" and I am so, so, so tired. So this time I said no.

November wrap up

My mom got me a advent calendar. Which is lovely, considering I'm 36. Unfortunately, it's a Wizard Boy themed one 😭 I will never be free of my hyperfixation from when I was 13.

Apparently I have read 150 MM hockey romance novels and I haven't even scratched the surface 😅

What do you think the models from the old cover are thinking? Are they suddenly seeing this image everywhere?

I need to not mix my media before bed, because why was I subjected to a dream of Ilya Rozanov setting up a copper golem sorting system 😭

I feel like I need a cold shower now

Holy shit, I just watched the first episode of Heated Rivalry and I fear I need a day or two to recover before I can watch the next one. Fuck, that's how you do a book-to-TV adaptation, the vibes are captured immaculately!!

Weekend plans sorted 😂

Not at all jealous of folks already getting to see Heated Rivalry, nope

It's been an odd but quiet work day with 80% of my team OOO 😆

Actually, while people are reading the Game Changers series, let me hype up Rachel Reid's more recent books! Still hockey-related, but both are true standalones:

"No, you don't need to read all the books, you can just read HR and TLG!" This is why you people don't meet your reading goals. Lock in. Do it for the love of reading. Be better.

(Heated Rivalry spoilers) This gets me every time 😭

meeting at 19:00 was cancelled, woohoo, time for wine and gay hockey players 🥳

You know what, let's go paperback this time.

Ok, I went into this book basically blind (didn't even read the blurb) but OMG it was delightful!

All the cool kids are matching their nail colour to their Kindle 💚 Also yes I was influenced into reading The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

Feels like everyone's reading Heated Rivalry - do I need a 2025 reread ahead of the show?

40, not too bad 👀

The 118 when they saw Eddie the first time

I think every millennial woman I know either still has an active eating disorder or is recovering from one and there is a grief in watching it happen again that I didn’t see coming if I’m being honest

Hi, hello, I'm in in my 30s, have loved Pride & Prejudice since my teens, and just realised that Kitty is a nickname for Catherine because... it's a diminutive of Cat

I really need my library to hurry up and get a copy of Brigands & Breadknives, because I flat-out refuse to spend R360 on an ebook

WE'RE BACK!!!

Did someone knock over the lava lamp wall?
