“…good swearing is used as a form of punctuation, not necessarily a response to pain or insult, and is utilized by experts to lend a sentence a certain zest, like a sprinkling of paprika.”
Plimpton, founder of The Paris Review, wrote about sports by immersing himself in them. He actually trained and played with the Detroit Lions.

pickThis is a challenging read but once you get into the rhythm of the prose style it is immensely rewarding. Bill Shankly is a complicated character ,obsessive about football and success for Liverpool fc, but also incredibly humble and humane. The last 200 pages when we follow him in retirement are incredibly moving with his willingness to talk to anyone at anytime being notable. If the stories told are true it is a remarkable tribute to a great man.

Yay! I just got approved for this ARC. I‘m excited about this book because of the couple this book is following. Now, I have 2 ARCs to read. I‘ll be getting one from The Smuthood PR and I‘ll be getting this one from Chasing Books PR the day before my birthday. Trick Play by LA Shaw is not on Litsy so I‘ll be posting my review under the tagged book by Eden Finley.
We do not care that our compression shorts sausage our thighs and that the sweat pattern on them looks like we've been having continence issues. You prevent chafing your way, we'll prevent chafing ours.

Poetry On Ice - Enemies to lovers isn‘t a trope I generally enjoy. This one handled it reasonably well, but I found the 🌶 a bit icky
Pucked - Read with #LittensLoveRomance (thanks @StayCurious ) teammate‘s sister trope, started well but never developed the relationship beyond the physical, which just got boring
Untouchable Player - Sweet jock/nerd & teammate‘s brother trope
Blue Line - OK but forgettable fake dating trope
