Happy Libra season, friends! Fall finally arrives this weekend. What are you doing to celebrate, besides watching the new season of Sex Education?

Before you start season four of Sex Education, be sure to tell us about your final season hopes and dreams!

In this week’s Stream It, Sarah liked Love At First Sight, the sweet (if corny) Netflix adaptation of Jennifer E. Smith’s book, especially its two cute leads.

In book reviews:

Mandy C. had mixed feelings about the romantic fantasy, A Prayer for Vengeance by Leanne Schwartz.

Regina liked characters fighting for their convictions amidst magical realism in Nora Shalaway Carpenter’s Fault Lines.
