Check, Please!

Check, Please!: #Hockey
and Check, Please!: Sticks and Scones by Ngozi Ukazu, 282 pages and 317 pages, respectively

Eric "Bittle" Bitty has gone from a coed hockey team in Georgia to an NCAA team in Massachusetts, and the vlogging, baking forward is more than a bit nervous about joining a team full of hockey bros. He's small, he's gay, and, well, he's never played in a league with checking. But these two volumes show how four years playing hockey at Samwell University change his perspective on his fellow players, his life, and his confidence.

This was a reread, a sweet and wonderful pair of books that celebrate friendship, baking, and the camaraderie that is synonymous with most hockey teams. I love these books, and I will be recommending them and rereading them forever.
