I remember when I would write stories in high school, then print and bind them into paperback copies. These were never actually published, as I just wanted a copy for myself. Over a decade later, my story is now being printed and turned into a real book 🌻

i do think it’s nice that the hockey romance books may be bringing in new demographics and new fans. it’s still a net positive but don’t put anyone you dont know on a pedestal 😭

the prevalence of HOCKEY romance specifically is so interesting to me as a canadian bc hockey culture is so Infamously Toxic that the idea of making a hockey boy the star of a romance book is basically speculative fiction to me. i respect it though
the virality of spicy hockey romance is so funny to me. could this have happened with any other sports romance? or is there an inherent sexuality that everyone is attributing to 11 men holding sticks?

The science fiction writer Chloe Gong recommends new and classic books that push the boundaries of the genre, with plenty of techno thrills.
