Because I'm nothing if not predictable, I read _Game Changer_, by Rachel Reid; it's the first in the Game Changers hockey genre romance series.

I read _An Act of Foul Play_ by T.E. Kinsey, the ninth in the Lady Hardcastle series of historical cozy mysteries.

I had forgotten to review this movie!
Today is release day for _The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses, by @older, and...
I inhaled it in one go, haven't had the headspace to write something coherent, other than: The Potency of Ungovernable Impulses is SO GOOD! So many feelings! The worldbuilding, the language, the RELATIONSHIPS. Go, get your copy, borrow from the library, READ IT!

Thinking about why I love this book so much; it's because of the characters. Maius is such a cinnamon roll, and Caomh has been so damaged. It isn't enemies-to-lovers because no matter how prickly Caomh can be, Maius never sees him as anything but himself.

I read Benedict Brown's _Murder at Everham Hall_, the first in his Marius Quin series of historical cozy mysteries.
I really wanted to love this book. Alas!
