Stephanie kicked off our recap of the new streaming adaptation of video game The Last of Us, which she really loved—both the game and the show—and Mandy W. covered the timely and humorous Loot in this week’s Stream It.
And in this week’s Book Reports:
- Stephanie reviewed Margaret Rogerson’s Mysteries of Thorn Manor, a sequel novella to Sorcery of Thorns.
- New contributor Regina (welcome, Regina!) reviewed Sharon Hinck’s Hidden Currents, the first in a series in which dance literally keeps the world turning.
- And I reviewed Leigh Bardugo’s Hell Bent, a sequel to Ninth House that has zero sign of the dreaded bridge book blues. (I liked it better than the first!)
