If you need a break from doomscrolling for a minute, we’ve got you covered.

ICYMI on FYA

In this week’s Stream It, Regina checked out the Disney+ series, Elena of Avalor, about the adventures of a Latin American princess.

In book reviews:

  • Brian read Woke Up Like This by Amy Lea, which features a fun and original twist on the ‘enemies to lovers’ trope.
  • Mandy C. reviewed All That Consumes Us by Erica Waters. Based on the cover alone, it’s a perfect creepy October read.
  • Brian also checked out the Edgar Allan Poe-inspired plague romance (a bunch of words I wouldn’t expect together), A Multitude of Dreams.

Remember Save the Last Dance? The secondhand cringe I felt while watching this is only rivaled by the cringe of watching this movie the first time.
