i have a lot of thoughts about books. like a lot. i’ve kind of been in mourning for a bit at the state of the book market? it’s so hard to find a good fiction book. i don’t want to read hetero smut that borders on abuse, relationships that absolutely are abuse but “it’s ok they’re quirky!”. i read enough of that as a teenager that i have absolutely no tolerance for it now.

i think the second thing i’ve been mourning about it is that booktok actually affects the real life book market? and the ease of publishing has maybe ruined traditional books? it’s so clear when you pick up a book, just by reading the first couple pages, if an editor or beta reader was involved at all. like i’m glad people are able to fulfill their dreams and write and have people read it but your plot and structure is suffering a lack of knowledge. writing is a skill that is always being developed and input and criticism is a very important part of that.

and the last part i think is that i’ve seen so many people on tiktok come back to reading, and that’s great i love that more people are reading! but reading is a skill just like writing, and the ability to engage with a text and use critical thinking is something that’s learned. those of us who never stopped reading have already kind of gone through the reading puberty(?) if that makes sense? we know that a lot of books romanticize abuse, that they might be written by women but can often still be misogynistic, that you might enjoy colleen hoover but the writing and plot is at a high school reading and writing level. and that’s not to shame! easy to read and understand is not a bad thing!

but the way those books have dominated the market is unsettling? where are the books with conceits and developed themes and meanings to be interpreted and books that are able to connect with more audiences? what happened to the high fantasy genre itself?? it’s been sarah j maas-ified that’s what. i don’t want to read porn hiding behind magic. i want to read things that make me think. i can name almost every high fantasy book i read in middle school that shaped my entire world view but i can’t find any today that measure up. and it’s not just nostalgia; i reread them in the last two years. the writing was superb and the plot was thought out and cared for in a way so many of these books now just aren’t. these aren’t peoples babies anymore. they’re cash grabs and repurposed and how quickly can i rewrite this plot in this character and sell it.

so yeah i’m just sad this is what it’s come to.

Tijan's newest hockey with benefits romance is LIVE!!!!

Grab it at @tijansbooks or www.tijansbooks.com

Hockey With Benefits by Tijan is now live!

Description

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down.

She said no feelings and she meant it.

Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship.

College was her escape, including us.

I didn't have time for a girlfriend.

I had classes, the team, my family, and the game.

It was all working too...

Until somewhere down the line, things got messy.

Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more.

Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal.

Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

My Review

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book has it all! It was passionate and intense, it’s heartbreaking and hopeful, it’s sexy and emotional, poignant, and filled full of drama, lots of drama. It’s gripping, all consuming, and so addictive, it will take your breath away. It brings all the feels, I laughed, cried and cheered and got all melty, watching these two finally lay down their armor and give in to the love. Five huge stars for Hockey With Benefits by Tijan.

Mara Daniels doesn’t do relationships, and she doesn’t have any friends. She has learned that it’s best if she keeps her walls up and relies only on herself. But she does like sex, and the chemistry between Mara Daniels and Cruz Styles is sizzling from the moment they meet. But it’s just sex, no friendship, no texting just hookups.

Cruz loved the deal when she presented it to him, because he didn’t need a girlfriend. Hockey took too much of his time, along with his family and school. It was a win, win. Until… it isn’t.

Cruz sees Mara the real Mara and understands her more than she knows. Their story will pull at your heartstrings. I believe the circumstances of our childhood shapes us into the adults we become, even more than genetics. The traumas we have to survive and the way we are made to feel about ourselves stay with us.

This amazing story touches on some abuse issues. It was beautiful to watch Cruz and Mara peel back the layers of each other as they take back their lives. But the love and friendship that surrounds Mara and Cruz is humbling as they struggle with secrets, threats, rivals and feelings. I loved learning about both of their past, and being with them in the present, I understood and empathized with every thought and emotion. A thought provoking, captivating romance with all the feels!!

I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

COVER REVEAL

My Anti-Hero BY Tijan's Books

Releasing: February 8, 2024

••••••••

I shouldn't have agreed to this. What was I thinking?

Appearing on a local news show? Just because something happened to me?

I live mostly in isolation on purpose.

But here I am.

I was so nervous that I needed the make-up chair, twice.

And then I walked past his room.

He's a giant—no softness, all muscle.

And a rich beard that made me want to rub myself all over it.

He made me see stars, literally because the second time I saw him, I tripped.

Or I would've, but he caught me, and the cameras were rolling.

Soon, that clip will be trending because he wasn't just another guest on the show.

He's Brett Broudou, the Kings' newest football star.

We couldn't be more opposite.

The only special thing about me is the reason I was on the show.

Brett, the Super Bowl champion, and me, the survivor who helped bring down the infamous Midwest Butcher.

Brett might not think he's anyone's hero, but he's about to become mine.

A/N: This is a 140k standalone.

Pre-order today on Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo!

Tijan has revealed the gorgeous cover for A Christmas Song!

Releasing: December 12, 2023

The first year was fun. Simple. I had a great roommate, and I was hooking up with a basketball player. Then life happened, and my whole trajectory changed. Gone was the hook-up. Gone was the roommate. My new goal in life wasn't to enjoy it. It was to get through each day by being blissfully numb. It was working. Until I woke up in my ex's bed one morning. No purse. No phone. No keys. No memory of what happened. First things first: I needed to get my ex off my vagi--back. I needed to get him off my back. I needed to get my things. I wasn't sure if I wanted to remember the night before, but my ex was suddenly reminding me how he's overbearing, arrogant, demanding, and hot. Damn. He's still so hot. He's also making me remember things that could have disastrous consequences. For him. For me. And most certainly for my heart... * A Christmas Song is a Ryan's Bed + spin-off novella because it is written from Mackenzie's point of view and Maren's point of view (Mackenzie's roommate.) Both girls will take the reader on the day after from the fallout of a prior night's event and the end will surprise everyone. * Expect lots of Ryan and Mackenzie, but also get ready for Maren and Cristiano!
