"CITYWIDE - AS SNOW PILED UP across the five boroughs, Mayor Zohran Mamdani offered residents a bold, weatherproof plan: stay home, nap aggressively and read "Heated Rivalry," a popular queer romance novel recently converted into a TV show on HBO Max, according to Hollywood Reporter . During a Sunday press conference on the storm, Mamdani suggested New Yorkers take advantage of the New York Public Library's surprise gift of instant access to all the "Heated Rivalry" books with no wait times."
""The snow is coming down heavily across our city, and I can think of no better excuse for New Yorkers to stay home, take a long nap or take advantage of our public library's offer of free access to 'Heated Rivalry' on e-book or audiobook for anyone with a library card," Mamdani said. The comment earned laughs from nearby staffers who, judging by the reaction, either know 'Heated Rivalry' very well or now urgently plan to."
Snow accumulation across all five boroughs prompted Mayor Zohran Mamdani to encourage residents to stay home, nap, and read Heated Rivalry. The novel has been adapted into a television show on HBO Max. The New York Public Library provided instant, no-wait access to all Heated Rivalry books for registered cardholders as a limited-time offering through Feb. 14. Mamdani highlighted free access to e-book and audiobook formats for anyone with a library card. The comment drew laughter from nearby staffers, who appeared familiar with the title or newly intrigued. Heated Rivalry is particularly popular with Gen Z and influenced professional hockey player Jesse Kortuem to come out.
