Happy Friday, folks!
ICYMI on FYA
In our ongoing rewatch of Friday Night Lights, Mandy W. reviews episode three, in which we’re all treated to a team paying penance in the rain.
In this week’s Stream It, Brian reviews Shogun, a show perfect for those who like intrigue, Japan, and beheadings.
In this week’s Book Reports:
- Stephanie reviewed A.B. Poranek’s Where the Dark Stands Still, a magical, Polish folklore-inspired tale.
- Regina reviewed Marie Lu’s Icon and Inferno, a somewhat lackluster sequel to Stars and Smoke.
- And I reviewed Ali Hazelwood’s Not in Love, which is spicy both physically and emotionally.
