marcicatHere are my totally random thoughts on the hockey boys audiobook (aka 'Heated Rivalry,' by Rachel Reid). (Note: the audiobook is about 9.5 hours long, and I'm about six hours into it.)
*dangerous crow boy narrator?!?!?!?!?!?!?
[backstory: earlier in 2025 there was a viral moment for Lana Pecherczyk's latest book release, aka the 'dangerous crow boy' meme. It turned out I've actually listened to the first few books in that series, one of which was memorably read by Tor Thom, who ALSO reads 'Heated Rivalry.' So my brain linked all those things together and I had a laugh about it]
*these hockey boys are STRESSED OUT
*my problem with books that do the jumping around in time thing is that I can't remember numbers, and in an audiobook, it's much harder to go back and check dates -- what year did the first chapter take place in??? (apparently I'm willing to live with this mystery, because it's not like I couldn't check)
*those tumblr gifsets make a lot more sense now, I think?
