I Am Obsessed with These Gay Hockey Players

Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid

January 8, 2026 by RouletteGirl 1 Comment

Canadian Shane Hollander and Russian Ilya Rosanov are two of the hottest young prospects in professional hockey. They’re first and second in the draft to division rival teams, and the narrative is born: rivals, always competing against each other for records, for wins, for cups. But behind the rivalry is a shared secret: they can’t keep away from one another. As their relationship transforms from casual hookups to something far more serious, they have to figure out how to navigate their careers, their rivalry, and […]

You can be sure about more than one thing

Through Gates of Garnet and Gold by Seanan McGuire

January 8, 2026 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Seanan McGuire has three different series that are on a predictable release schedule: Septembers are for October Daye, May for InCryptid and January? Well, that’s saved for the Wayward Children novella series. As always, no quests allowed. For anyone new to the series, the even releases are deeper dives into the story of one of the characters (usually someone we have met already, sometimes someone to be introduced soon) while the odds should be read in order and are part of a continuing storyline that […]

Hobb-a-thon 2026 begins!

Fool’s Errand: The Tawny Man Trilogy Book One by Robin Hobb

January 8, 2026 by ElCicco 1 Comment

My final 6 reviews on CBR17 were Robin Hobb’s The Farseer Trilogy and The Liveship Traders Trilogy and I LOVED THEM. I am fully invested in reading all of her Realm of the Elderlings novels and I am back on track with Book one of The Tawny Man Trilogy — Fool’s Errand. I knew I was going to love it because it features two of my favorite characters: Fitz and the Fool. We first met them in The Farseer Trilogy where their unusual circumstances threw […]

All of Us Murderers by KJ Charles

The Mystery of the Ward and the Family Curse

All of Us Murderers by KJ Charles

January 8, 2026 by Jen K Leave a Comment

This is another first for me! Even though I know KJ Charles is a popular author here, I never got around to reading her till now. It probably doesn’t help that for a long time I didn’t realize KJ Charles and Cat Sebastian were two different authors and kept conflating the two. I liked a lot about this one. I quite enjoyed the gothic mansion, toxic family dynamics and trapped in the house set up. I also appreciated how she set up the narrator and […]

Living in Her Shadow

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

January 8, 2026 by Tracy Leave a Comment

Rebecca is often presented as a gothic novel, but it’s actually hard to pin down the genre. It has some gothic elements, some suspenseful elements, a marriage plot. Ultimately, I would characterize it as psychologically suspenseful litfic. The psychological suspense relates to the narrator, who remains unnamed for the entirety of the book. Twenty-one at the start of the novel, she is working as a lady’s “companion” in Monte Carlo, when she meets and falls in love with widower Maxim de Winter, and they marry within […]

Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead

January 8, 2026 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

Sent off to live with a drunken painter of an uncle, they grow up largely independent, wandering the hills of Montana. Marian’s path in life is sealed after she sees a barnstorming plan fly over her head one day while she’s wandering through the woods. Determined to fly, Marian works […]
