I've made this post a few times without any luck, but I wanted to try again just in case I have better luck this time. Would anyone be interested in any of the following Nintendo Switch games?

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (example on Amazon)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (example on Amazon)
TemTem (example on Amazon)

If you're not interested but know someone who might be, please point them my way. I'm about $65 shy of where I need to be to pay for my storage unit this month, because the universe hates me, and it would help a lot if I could manage to sell even one of them.

For payment, I have CashApp ($Settiai), PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle (nancy.lynn.foster@gmail.com).

Current Mood: hopeful

Et je talonnerai mes rêves by Aurélie Chateaux-Martin was excellent. It's a standalone in the same world as other novels I haven't read. Dorian and Loïc, rugby players, become sex friends. One day, Loïc has an accident and wakes up without one of his legs.

While the cover art shows Loïc playing wheelchair rugby, note that the accident only happens in the middle of the book and the wheelchair rugby only takes place in the last few chapters. The first half of the story focuses on valid rugby, with Covid regulations in the background.

This is bi4pan m/m, which starts with no romance between the two. They separate when they have the occasional girlfriend or boyfriend, so they're not aro, but I think readers on the aro spectrum will vibe with this aspect. The accident changes them and they start falling in love. There's a secondary nb/nb relationship and a minor lesbian character.
