Question of the week: What’s the last book you stayed up too late reading?
ICYMI on FYA
Stephanie recapped the latest episode of The Last of Us (which apparently made absolutely everyone cry). Mandy Wan shared the discussion questions for this month’s FYA Book Club selection, Love Radio, and offered up recommendations for the FYA Reading Challenge (the theme for this month is books by Black authors). And Rosemary wrote this week’s Stream It on Excess Baggage, a not-to-be-missed crime caper from 1997 (!).
In this week’s Book Reports:
- Stephanie reviewed Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries (Emily Wilde #1) by Heather Fawcett, which is a fun grown-up romance/scholarly journal.
- Mandy W. reviewed Ebony LaDelle’s Love Radio, a sweet rom-com that ranks a full 10 on the Swoonworthy Scale.
- And my review of M.K. Lobb’s Seven Faceless Saints, a fascinating fantasy murder mystery, will be up later today.
