Hockey Book Tag: GO KINGS GO

NHL Hockey Book Tag, Because The Season Is Coming. GO, KINGS GO!

God, how I love this book tag. I found it at Witty and Sarcastic Book Club, an awesome site and person behind it! I absolutely had to steal it. Even though we differ in our fandoms (she an Avalanche fan- they are more like a flurry 😉and I am a Los Angeles Kings fan – have been since I was… you know what? I’m not aging myself), I have nothing but love for hockey fans! So, here goes my run on her tag. Some books are reviewed (with links) and others will have linked summaries.

Because Drew Doughty just makes us purer in our souls than any other team in the NHL.
