This beautifully illustrated history of Eton College's Field Game tells the full story of the game from its beginnings to the present, along the way explaining the development of the rules, the terminology and the characters who played the still popular sport. The Field Game is illustrated with over 500 wonderful pictures and anecdotes, plus hand drawn plates by the author showing the illustrated history of the Colours. The Field Game is one of two codes of football devised and played at Eton College. The other is the Eton Wall Game. The game is like association football in some ways the ball is round, but one size smaller than a standard football, and may not be handled but the off-side rules known as 'sneaking' are more in keeping with rugby. There is also a small scrum or "Bully" of either six or seven a side. Goals can be scored much as in football, although there is no goalkeeper. But a team gains more points for scoring a 'rouge'. To score a rouge a player must kick the ball so that it deflects off one of the opposing players, or achieve a charge-down, and then goes beyond the opposition's end of the pitch. The ball is then 'rougeable' and must be touched although not necessarily to the ground by an attacking player to complete the rouge for five points. Rouges are similar to tries in that the scoring team then attempts to convert them for two points. It is the only game at Eton that virtually every boy plays, at least for his first three years in the school, and it occupies prime position in the games programme throughout the Lent Half.

Adorable Take on You’ve Got Mail!
Format: Kindle
This book was absolutely adorable. It’s a sweet, bookish twist on You’ve Got Mail that made me smile from start to finish. I loved all the little nods to book culture (including a fun reference to Nora Ephron!). Ryan was just the cutest, and Josie’s transformation felt really heartfelt. Yes, it was a little cheesy at times, but in the best possible way. The perfect cozy, feel-good read!

i couldn’t put it down
Format: Kindle
It’s 2 in the morning and I’ve just finished reading this. I haven’t had a book make me stay up late reading in bed since I was in high school. Sure I have books that I can’t put down but the draw to this one was so enticing. Every time I tried to go to sleep or do something else I kept reaching for my kindle wanting more. I loved Josie and her character growth. I’ve felt how she feels, being guarded, feeling like you can’t show your true self, & what if when you are you people don’t like you or understand you. Seeing her let in chaos into her life was a simple reminder we all need that not everything has to be perfect. Ryan or Rj was the picture perfect boyfriend and the ending had me in tears 😭 we all need a good listener in our life who will be there when it matters most. The way he’s painted in Josie’s eyes to the sweetheart he is inside was so nice. Also, the nerdy but cute vibes he gives off. & can I just say reading about a reader who has dyslexia made me so giddy because I work with kids like that. I loved all of the lines about what reading was to them and why they got into reading. It made me feel so connected to the story line and reminded me why I read books. I loved the enemies to friends to lovers plot line. The story of them falling in love and how it happens differently for everyone. The story has its cutesy romance moments which I thought I’d hate but came to love. Plus, it has some real emotional conversations that had a knot in my throat. I enjoyed the depth that the characters brought to the story. The pacing was just perfect for me. A slow burn for the love to come in but I enjoyed their banter throughout. Plus all of their cute DMs back and forth were my favorite. One of my favorite things about the book is how it recognized the different types of readers there are and that it’s okay. I will be thinking about this book all throughout the day and recommending it to everyone. Read if you love: 💕 enemies to lovers 💕forced proximity 💕 slow burn 💕books about books 💕dual POV

Love story with great character growth
Format: Kindle
You Got Mail vibes ☑️ Witty banter ☑️ Emotional vulnerability ☑️ I came for the romance about two bookstore managers vying to save their position and stayed for the character development, which is so well done. Josie and Ryan avoid romantic relationships at all costs due to past trauma. Josie is stoic and loves literary works while Ryan is an easy-going romance book lover. Can opposites work together for the greater good? Can they find love with each other? First as BookshopGirl, and RJ.Reads, and then as themselves, they learn to open up, heal old wounds, and connect on a deeper level. I couldn't help but cheer them on, and when they finally allowed each other in, my heart swooned. And that epilogue ... ALL. THE. FEELS. • Rivals to lovers • Dual POV • He falls first • Slow burn • Forced proximity • Opposites attract

This was a fun and fast read. Major You’ve Hot Mail vibes. This book was a giant validation of books and reading in general and of the romance genre specifically…not that I needed validation!
