... and then he wrote a SEQUEL, you say? Alright. Let's check in with Danny, then... #LibrarKay

Welp. Frankly, if Gotham thinks this will improve attendance (dubious)... do you, boo... But that shiny new 5 year STM price lock just came across as a HUGE bait & switch for us here in NJ. Also a super dicey PR move from a club that has already broken trust with it's fanbase REPEATEDLY. #NWSL

(Guess this is a) Hot take: verbal abuse of the ref from a head coach can/should result in disciplinary action. That can take the form of red cards & one match suspensions. Yes, even when it affects YOUR coach. #NWSL

King is one of those authors I know well, but realized recently it's not necessarily because I have actually, y'know, READ much of the original books. Changing that. 📖 #LibrarKay

So. Damn. Excited. for Reiten at Gotham. 🦇 🩵 #NWSL

So, I see Emma is being assisted by Denise Reddy and... is that... [*squints*] Steve Harrington? #USWNT

Another Stephen King because... why not? And why not an absolute classic like... #LibrarKay

... it'd be cool if we could watch, y'know, the GAME happening... #USWNT

Ooof. Bring back the pinstripe blue kit. And the old font. This "stars" kit just looks... cheap? And that weird bunching at the shoulders makes it look ill-fitting as well. 🫣 #USWNT

Obviously written waaay before the later seasons, but a fun little EU exploration of Terry Ives and the unfortunate entanglement with Brenner that led to Eleven... #LibrarKay

By my count there are... 4 left black leg sleeves on the pitch now? I know. Not earth shattering reporting. But the specificity amuses me. #NWSL #LoveLaughLeftSleeve

In honor of 40 years of "Stand By Me" (and finally pivoting #LibrarKay away from an exclusive diet of Siamese cats and cozy mysteries...) #TheBody #StandByMe

Ooof. Not NWSL+ comms mixing up Dudinha and Ludmilla... 🤦 Did ya'll know *Dudinha* played with Chicago last year??

When the day was crap and your team isn't helping matters... 😑

Coming in just ahead of the "365 day" mark: 32/32. Wrapping up this lovely, cozy little series where I started a year ago- early spring, cuddled in a blanket, solving crime with a magnificent, mustachioed journalist + his two Siamese, Koko & Yum Yum. Cheers, Quill. Thank you, Lilian. #LibrarKay

Okay, who hexed the Cascadia?? Actual game, broadcast, ALL of it. (I especially love how it's pretty clear they're completely clueless in the broadcast booth as to what just happened...) #NWSL

Penultimate. 31/32 #LibrarKay

30/32 🍌 😻 #LibrarKay

Ahh, yes. Of course. Trinity Rodman is (*checks notes*) "Greenland"... ... toooootally had that on my 2026 #NWSL Bingo Card...

Gobble, gobble... 29/32 #LibrarKay

Last side quest of the series. Pure fun & feline hijinx... the kind of thing an author can happily indulge in for her readers after cultivating a narrative world over 30+ (😱) years. #LibrarKay

Closing in on the end rapidly now... 27/32. #LibrarKay

Sidepocket from the main narrative to read Qwill's side project. Super quick, one day read. ❤️ #LibrarKay

25 aaaand... my bad. I actually started this last week, but forgot to post. Either way, adjusting "finishing the series in a year away from 'calendar' year to '365 days from starting book 1'..." #LibrarKay

Here is a kitten. She wants you to take a deep breath. There’s a lot of smart people who have good ideas about how to harness the outrage & dread and put it to work. Direct action, community outreach, mutual aid, calls to your reps to demand impeachment. For now, breathe. Then go fight fascism.

Probably not going to finish this series before 2025 ends, but who knows. Beginning 24 of 32 with a pretty light schedule from now to NYE, so... 🤷 #LibrarKay

Where did the time go, 2025? Rounding the corner to the end now. 23rd book of 32, (that's if I decide to read the last one, which some people say ends... jaggedly? Braun never got to finish the last book before her passing in 2007, soooo... 😕) #LibrarKay

Folks out there using the phrase "men's NWSL" to describe the boys' league? Keep it up, legends. 😁 #NWSL

22, reading by late night book light... ✨🌕🐈‍⬛ #LibrarKay

21 on... 🐈‍⬛ #LibrarKay

What in the NWSL nonsense. 🤦 We've hit a new accomplishment! BOTH teams mad for having a disallowed goal... within 30 seconds of each other. #NWSL

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Or maybe we could just... not speculate? Yes, goalkeepers go down a lot when they have busy nights. There's a world where that's strategy, (I'm not naive) buuut I would also like everyone who criticizes them to try stopping a world class blazing shot or two. Then we'll talk. #NWSL

The little signs sure were having a party in that first half, eh? ... that's... that's not where those go, AI... #NWSL

Well, this is maddening. What am I paying you for again, ESPN+? 🙄 #barclayswsl #nwsl

Ohhh they did NOT just run a recruitment ad for ICE in the middle of my #NWSL ... 🤬

Back on the #LibrarKay after a bit of a break. 20 deep now. 😯 (... it seems my next read with Qwill, Koko & Yum Yum will be... holiday-themed?? 🎄🏖️ #isChristmasinAugustathing ?

Ultimate Sunday scaries. God, what even was that... *sigh* #NWSL

Announcement in the stadium that warm ups can begin again. We are re-entering! #NWSL

Sports Illustrated Stadium now entering our Wedding Reception era... "Macarena", "Cha Cha Slide" and a brief interruption to update us all that... there is still lightning in the area. No return to play time set as of yet. #NWSL

On the flip side, they're playing CCR's "Who'll Stop the Rain" at the stadium rn. Points to the DJ. #NWSL

Major lightning strikes around the stadium + downpour. This delay is going to lengthen... #NWSL

Is there a reason these announcers are absolutely pretzeling themselves to avoid saying Mal is pregnant?? "New phase of your life", "making preparations for other things." It's absurd. I know we're on CBS, but... seriously...? #NWSL

19 second half. No take backsies. Final score from my completely superfluous activity: Dellacamera v Lou-ee-ville = 27 Good night. Drive safely. Tip your servers! #NWSL

"Foul from Fischer." "... shocker." Loyden, you legend. 😶😆 #NWSL

I've been playing a little game all season long: quietly correct JP under my breath every time he says "Lou-ee-ville" (vs "Lou-ville") Tonight, I decided to track: Got up to 20, but he actually got it right twice, so... adjusted to +18 at half. Alright, Dellacamera... Second half. Let's go. #NWSL

Word spreading in the stadium that Danielle Chesky is in the VAR room and, suddenly that call makes all the sense in the world. 🤬 Fire. Bad. Officials. #NWSL

Ahhh, yes, the consistent way we inconsistently call that kind of contact in this league... 🙄 #NWSL

Well, that sure is... a long and winding compounded compound sentence I perceive you necessarily made out of necessity. #NWSL

"Don't jump to the worst case scenario!!" ... You're new here, aren't you? It's always worst. Al.ways. #NWSL
