It is still hot outside here, but it is the end of October and fall in my heart. It’s also voting season – do you have a plan for voting?

ICYMI on FYA

We’ve made it to the season 1 finale in our Friday Night Lights rewatch, and the Dillon Panthers have made it to State!

Stephanie reviewed Trap in this week’s Stream It but doesn’t necessarily recommend it (unless you’re a Josh Hartnett completist).

In book reviews:

  • Brian enjoyed the seasonally thematic creepiness of The Unfinished by Cheryl Isaacs.
  • Stephanie had a good time with the romance of The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood.
  • Mandy C. found the mysterious Inevitable Fate by Lindsay K. Bandy worth the read.
  • Mandy C. also read Thief of the Heights by Son M. and Robin Yao, a graphic novel about a trio of teens literally hoping to work their way up to a better world.
