This sums up my feelings lately:
Also, happy new Bridgerton week!
ICYMI on FYA
In this week’s Stream It, Sarah rights an egregious wrong and reviews the rom-com classic 13 Going on 30.
In this week’s Book Reports:
- Brian reviewed Lost to Dune Road by Kara Thomas, an adult novel that he wishes there were more of.
- And I reviewed Sweet Nightmare (The Calder Academy #1) by Tracy Wolff, a new book set in the Crave universe, and Salt Magic by Hope Larson and Rebecca Mock, a sweet but spooky graphic novel.
