I’m hoping Bailiwick has permission to do a shirsey version once the fundraiser with the real jerseys is done. I’d definitely grab one.

They’re designed by Bailiwick - so how could they be anything other than badass?

Yes! So good. The creativity is honestly mind-blowing. I would never even think of most of the things people have come up with. I’m also starting to get think pieces… many of which are actually good. Even the one on LinkedIn of all places.

And yes, the easily-gamed algorithm is the best thing about Threads. I think I’m at about 80% HR and 20% Swiftie and the real world vanishes.

OMG! I love the plushies. Every single one of them is hilarious. And people have made little crochet Amigurumi of Ilya and Shane! Like, what?!

Right? It’s weirdly addictive stuff. (Dunno if you’re also on Threads, but that seems to be ground zero for feral fandom. It’s *a lot* but also very fun.) I’m on library hold for Role Model and Common Goal, but was at least able to nab The Long Game so I know how it works out for Ilya and Shane.

So hey. Circling back to say thanks for this post. Hadn’t heard of the books / show when you initially posted, and now, barely a month later, I’ve watched the whole show (several times), read 4 of the books, and am maaaaybe becoming a weirdo about it. Harlequin Books and Crave owe you a commission!

There used to be a place by me that put kimchi, bulgogi beef, and sriracha on a hotdog and it was magical. I still dream of that dog.

Oh that’s good to hear. Sounds like it’s worth giving another chance. Thanks!

Hey… question about these. How is the hockey? Like, is it accurate and/or relevant to the story? My first foray into hockey romance was marred by the fact that the hockey part of the plots didn’t work for me at all. Probably great for a casual fan, but not someone way too into it.

Also, you should see every Tom Stoppard play you can. His writing is flat-out phenomenal.

If they weren’t all east of 81, we could probably cajole Wegman’s into carrying them. But that Wegmans-Price Chopper line can never be crossed.

Oh absolutely

Ooh. If you figure it out let me know!

Well, damn. I am so sorry to hear this, Lacy. I hope you find a new home for your talents quickly.
