Well, the autumn weather (i.e. it’s 80 degrees instead of 100) has finally hit Texas, and I am stoked about reading a cozy mystery, drinking a spiced cocktail, and trying to stay sane during the election season. Yay!

ICYMI on FYA

In this week’s Friday Night Lights Rewatch, there are plenty of boys behaving badly, but there’s also one girl being awesome (Tami Taylor, obvs).

For this week’s Stream It review, Mandy W. matriculates into Maxton Hall – The World Between Us, a soapy enemies-to-lovers German show brimming with tropes.

In book reviews:

  • Stephanie got schooled by June Hur’s heavy and evocative A Crane Among Wolves.
  • Regina already misses mingling with the gods and goddesses of The Heart of the World by Amie Kaufman.
  • Mandy C. appreciates that not all demons are bad in her review of Ian X. Cho’s Aisle Nine.
