2023 Book Bingo: 2 Books!
Jan. 17th, 2023 10:51 amFinished my second book of 2023! As with the first, I actually started it in 2022, but I read more than half in 2022 so whatevs, it's on the 2023 card. :D

Romance Plot/Sub-Plot: another fill done with a book for work - Hockey Bois by A. L. Heard. This book is currently up on Kindle, but A. L. and I are working on a re-edit and re-release that'll include listing with Duck Prints Press (I swear, most of my reading is not/will not be for work, it's just starting out that way). So if you like some modern sports mlm, keep your eyes open!
Summary: Nick Porter has always loved hockey. Ever since he can remember, it's been his favorite thing in the world. It's too bad he never learned to play, he'd tell himself, but it was too late to do it now. Adults don't just magically learn to skate and join a hockey team. That'd be ridiculous.
Except maybe they do? On a whim, he decides to sign-up for an adult beginner's class. He learns to skate, joins a team, and meets a really hot teammate… and it’s pretty much a disaster from there on out.

For other reading, I did actually finish something else - Go For It Nakamura by Syundei - but idk including manga on a list like this feels like cheating; I'm gonna try to keep it primarily to novels. I'm also currently reading Golden Terrace Vol. 1 by Cang Wu Bin Bai; this is a re-read - I read the fan translation in 2021 - and I've only got about 50 pages left, and I'm currently debating how I should count series-book reading. Like, is Golden Terrace 1 one novel and Golden Terrace 2 a separate novel? But if I read them as a fan translation, I'd only count it as one book. So...idk. I'll decide at some point I guess, some point soon considering how close I am to finishing vol. 1.
