Happy Friday, folks!
ICYMI on FYA
In our ongoing rewatch of Friday Night Lights, Meredith B. reviews episode 7, “Homecoming,” in which people not from Texas are introduced to the wild world of Homecoming mums.
In this week’s Stream It, I review My Lady Jane, a stellar adaptation of the book by the same name and a super sexy and funny one to boot.

And in this week’s Book Reports:
- Brian reviewed Kelly Murashige’s The Lost Souls of Benzaiten, in which the main character stops talking and then goes on adventure with a goddess.
- And I reviewed Kalynn Bayron’s Sleep Like Death, a surprising reimagining of the Snow White tale.
