"Heated Rivalry" craze fills Tampa Bay library waitlists

State of play: The Pinellas County library cooperative is ordering more copies of the novel by Rachel Reid due to high demand, executive director Cheryl Morales told Axios.

• As of Tuesday, 49 people were on hold for four checked-out print copies and 55 people were on hold for the 11 checked-out e-book editions.
• All 37 copies of the audiobook were checked out, but there were no holds Morales said.

Meanwhile, Hillsborough's online catalog showed 55 holds on 13 print copies and a whopping 331 holds on 52 e-book editions.

Yes, but: Fear not, "gay hockey smut" fans.

• Hillsborough has plenty of audiobook check-outs available, and both sides of the bay offer instant access to free digital copies on Hoopla.
