Hi friends. Sorry for my absence. I live in Minneapolis. I don't know what you are hearing in the news, but it's likely worse than you can imagine. People are being violently assaulted, disappeared with no trail, and shot on the street, regardless of citizenship or legal status.

Nothing beats seeing people still finding Comment/Question and the progression of comments in each chapter, going from "Hahaha omg 😂!!" to "I'M CRYING omg 😭" Thank you always for still reading, even if I bamboozled you in the early chapters. ❤️

New year, new graphic ❤️ This Is More of a Comment Than a Question M | 94k words | 10 chapters 📚 archiveofourown.org/works/556592... Alex is the publicist for Mountchristen Publishers, and is stuck on a two-week tour with their best-selling, but frustrating, author Henry Fox.

SCREAMING CRYING 🥹 thank you dearest!!!

Borrowing this from Sara!! If anyone asks me #5 you should already know the answer.

I'M (not) FINE

HELLO???? Gorgeous 💕

Reading a hockey romance, again, finally. All is right in the world. 🥰

Everyone's been watching The Hockey Show™ (me too) might as well remind you there is this crossover (minor, but still relevant!!)

it is IMPERATIVE TO MY HEALTH that you all read this, thank you.

Yes, I did forget that my birthday is this month.

Again, no, I will not be showing you my wrap-up (You don't need to see it, I promise.) Yes, I read this month. No, none of them were hockey romances (I know, I know.)

Love coming back to see everyone's reading roundups 🥰

Hi! I loved the first two episodes of HR, but I'm going to be off social media for a bit! If you need to yap, you know where to find me ❤️

If you're like me and watch with closed captioning on, turn it off for episode 2 during the Russian scenes. I think the cc was overriding the translations because when I turned it off it was fine ❤️ (But have CC on for episode 1 because the Russian in there only works with the CC on) Okay bye!!
