This is simply a list of books that were referenced by Rick Westhead in his book "We Breed Lions". Some relate to icehockey and its culture, others are about a different sport and its scandals, sport in general or other subjects relevant to We Breed Lion's argumentation. Feel free to comment if you think I've missed a reference, then I'll check and add it.

i love the angst and yearning of second chance romance but i am SICK AND TIRED of dual timelines. i do not have the patience to spend the whole book chasing the Big Reveal only for it to be cheating. or some pointless disagreement. hence this list of second chance books with only one timeline! recs welcome & appreciated :)

Books that changed my perspective in life and writing style | for lovers of specific writing style and life-changing stories

Grumpy,scary,intimidating people with a secret(or just misunderstood) side~ Are you into characters who look oh-so-tough but are actually huge(or well,partly) cinnamon rolls? This may be for you.

Do you want to see the internal turmoil derived from that, the way they struggle to reconcile how others expect them to act and how they want to act? It may occasionally be for you

This week, while dwelling on my favorite genre, which does cross into Romantasy territory, I felt we really needed a more refined one for those of us who prefer queer ships, so I came up with this idea in my mind, then made a shelf.

Books for people that crave romances but hate the mainstream romantasy trends, main characteristics required to fit this list: M/F pairings are completely fine, but they don't fit into a cisheteronormativy worldview (mostly, men and women aren't different species in these books) No weird and creepy possessiveness Characters that look like normal humans and not only thinstagram models They can find each other hot immediately but the romance has to be developed.
