so-soThis Sapphic romance set in he curling world was interesting as far as sport goes but one of the main characters was unpleasant, making the instant attraction by the much more lovable character hard to believe.

First outdoor reading session of the year! It was only 11° out, so I had to go inside for a coat as soon as the sun went behind a cloud, but this winter was so long and so soul-destroying that I‘ll take it.
I still find Max‘s disdain for curling unrealistic, given that she‘s a veteran sports reporter desperate to rebuild her reputation, but I‘m enjoying the book so much I can suspend my disbelief. This is great stuff, y‘all. #gaymay
After lots of debate, I decided I‘m in a sports romance mood. Many thanks to @BookNAround for the rec!
I really like FIRE & ICE so far, but I find it unrealistic that everyone except the curlers themselves seems to consider curling a weirdo outsider sport. I‘m not into it myself, but curling is really popular here, both to play and to watch. Is this anti-curling bias manufactured drama? Or is it an American thing? #gaymay
I went to the library at opening time to lay in a bunch more stuff for Gay May: some romance, some nonfiction, and a finished copy of THE WITNESS FOR THE DEAD to reread before I devour the sequel.
Outside next month‘s reading scope, I requested one of Sarah Polley‘s films because I loved her essay collection, RUN TOWARDS THE DANGER. I hope her filmmaking hits me as hard as her writing. #gaymay
This is a southern snow storm. More ice than snow and definitely no power for an undetermined amount of time. Since there‘s ice outside, why not read about ice inside? Perfect conditions to read this f/f romance about curling.
