Happy Friday! I hope that no matter what shenanigans you got up to this week it hasn’t ruined the tour.

In the Friday Night Lights Rewatch, Mandy C. reviews episode four. It’s a bye week for the Panthers, but I’m not sure anyone wants bored Panthers on their hands.
In this week’s Stream It, Sarah survives the intense secondhand embarrassment (my wording, not hers) of Andrew McCarthy’s Brat Pack-reminiscing documentary, Brats.
In book reviews:
- Mandy C. loved Samuel Teer and Mar Julia’s Brownstone, a 1990s-set coming-of-age graphic novel about a girl spending the summer with family in Guatemala.
- Regina reports that Kristin Cashore has done it again with There is a Door in This Darkness, a tale of magical realism set amidst COVID lockdowns and the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.
- Stephanie loved Mona, the heroine of A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher, a fantasy about an orphaned baker’s apprentice.
