It's definitely based off of your library, your tbr, and books you've read. I think it gets better the more information you feed it. But yes, at any point you can tell if if you're in the mood for something specific and it will spit out recs that fit what you're looking for.

So proud of you, friend!

Been on a reading/listening tare this past few months. I had a goal to read 10 books this year and as of right now, I've read 17. I'm leaving my goal at 10 though because I want to see what % over 100 I can get it to lol. I read my sister's middle grade book but excuse me for not sharing the name just to keep privacy lol. It was okay. Not for me but I think kids will enjoy it. I also listened to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe because I had never read either and they were both quick audiobooks. I really just wanted to knock those classics off of my list. At the moment, I am slowly making my way through One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, when sleeping at my parent's house I've been picking up A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, and when I can get it back on Libby, I'll be continuing 2nd Chance by James Patterson. I don't care for Patterson but I watched the one season of Women's Murder Club, fell in love with the characters, and then fell in love with the first book.

We’re catching up with S89 Aiden Shaw nominee and 2nd All-VHL Team member, Jesse Teno. After winning the Kanou last season, how does it feel to come short of an award win now? It’s okay. Never feels great to miss out on winning but being nominated alongside Clueless Wallob who dominated the season and Ash Sparks still feels good. Wouldn’t have minded a win but I can’t blame the voting board for Wallob’s landslide victory. Being named to the 2nd All-VHL Team must feel good though, right? Of course. That in itself is still an honor. I know I struggled this season, especially compared to last season’s run but it feels good to know that the league believes in me as a player. Any thoughts on how this upcoming season will go? Hopefully better than the last. It would be nice to get back to the finals but I know we’ve struggled on the offensive. I just have to hope that I can keep it together in the net and give my team a chance to win. 177 words for week ending 8/20/2023

Meh, close enough I suppose.

I will teach you my ways and you will git gud. For a low low low low fee of only $5.00 every minute for the next 9 seasons.

Be my friend. I will show you.

1. Between 10 and 25. 2. Hopefully 8-0-0! 3. Sjin because he's the strongest and will please Simon the most. 4. Sjin or Deluca. 5. Moscow. I know it's not the luckiest team but it has always been my top trade to because of Spartan. 6. Fruit salad. Yummy yummy. (iykyk)

Congrats!

Just followed back!

The league should just prep all the goalie awards for the next 4 seasons with Jesse's name in preparation for future domination. I hope.

What does it mean to be a lifer? And has any one player in the VHL pulled it off? We hear all the time how in the NHL the big names want to stick with their drafted team for their whole career but most don’t actually make it to retirement on the same roster. Now I don’t mean the players who retire early. I mean those who play fully through 9 seasons of the VHL. Is it rare? Common? Do members plan for it or does it just happen? Maybe some have wanted it but due to management, it’s been impossible. So, the question posed to you today, dear viewer: do you think Jesse Teno’s desire to stay in London for their whole career come true? Is it possible? And will they change their mind if management and the team have too many turn overs? Time, drafts, and the trade deadline will only tell. 154 words for week ending 8/13/2023

1. Oatmeal Raisin 2. Vacuuming 3. Hopefully more! 4. Igor. He's a big part of our offense and I agree with Triller, he's going to be hard to replace. 5. Was all dog but now that I have a cat, it's 60/40 in favor of dog. 6. Balut. Saw it on a show once and my grandma ate it on a vacation. No fucking thank you. I also don't recommend looking it up if you don't already know what it is. I promise you're not ready to know and you never will be.

I have read a whole bunch since my last update. Truth and Measure by Roslyn Sinclair The Only Woman in the Room - Marie Benedict The Princess Diarist - Carrie Fisher Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams This is How You Lose the Time War - Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar I'm Glad My Mom Died - Jeanette McCurdy 3 were print and 3 were audio books. Currently making my way through my sisters' middle grade book and then trying to figure out what to read next. If you have Storygraph, feel free to follow me. Username is the same.

Once again, it seems that Lachlan Summers is destined to follow in Jesse Teno’s footsteps. From their first seasons in the VHLM to now, Summers and Teno have been sharing in the accolades. Both came in as fresh-faced goalies brand new to the VHL, each was the first of their draft class to be eligible to move up to the VHLE, both drafted high for the VHL, and now both have won a Continental Cup; and all this one season after the other. Is it possible that Summers could also follow Teno and win the Daisuke Kanou Trophy? Time will only tell. But for now, let’s compare how these two Continental Cup champion goalies stacked up against each other in their first winning post seasons. Win/Loss Ratio: Teno 15-6-2 Summers 12-4-0 While Teno did have to play 7 more games than Summers, their win ratio was 65.21% compared to Summers’ 75%. Despite the difference in games played, Teno came close to doing just as well as their friend. Save Percentage: Teno 0.949 Summers 0.937 Both highly respectable numbers and at least 10 points over where both ended their regular season. It seems that both goalies were able to bring up their saves during the playoffs, showing just why they are both deserving of being starting goalies. Goals Against Average: Teno 1.92 Summers 2.47 Probably the most significant difference between the goalies lies in their goals against average. With more than 1 point spread between them, Teno very much took off with this statistic. Though Teno gave up 47 goals while Summers only gave up 40, one could argue that that was due to Teno facing almost 300 more shots than Summers. Shutouts: Teno 4 Summers 0 One of the most coveted statistics of a goalie each season is their number of shutouts and there is no clearer spread than this. Teno had 3 during the regular season and Summers had 4, though it seems he struggled through the playoffs to keep the puck out of the net for any of the 12 games won. While the two do play different games, it seems that these friends are more alike than people might realize. Sources told us that shortly after both wins, Teno and Summers had reached out to the other to congratulate them. They may be rivals on the ice, but they are certainly always rooting for one another. When asked for a comment on the finals, Jesse Teno had this to say: “I’m so proud of Lachlan. He has worked so hard to get to this point and I couldn’t be happier to see my friend raise the cup the way I did last season. We really did come up through this league together even though we’re a season apart and we have had each other’s backs since day 1. I honestly couldn’t have imagined we would both be champions this early in our careers but here we are. I’m truly happy for him and I’m honored to say that Lachlan is my friend. This couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.” 514 words for week ending 8/6/2023 @kirbithan

Jesse, with this off season, what are you looking to do in order to improve your game? Same as always, I think. Just keep working hard and just apply as much of myself as I can every day until the next season. Questions have come up regarding your tenure with London. Any truth to the rumors that they are looking to move you? Not that I’ve heard of. As far as I’m aware, the plan is to keep me around for as long as possible. I don’t know of any goalie prospects who will be coming up the pipes any time soon but I guess with the upcoming draft it’s a crap shoot. If you have the opportunity to move or stay, what do you think you would do? Right now, I would stay. I feel really good here in London and I hope that management feels the same about me but I do understand that it’s possible that one day I might get shipped out in favor of someone younger. But if I could spend my whole career here in London, I wouldn’t complain. 185 words for week ending 8/6/2023
