Thank every god there is that this week is finally ending. (Election week in the U.S. was a tremendous bummer, in case you international folks somehow missed that.) Distractions, STAT.
ICYMI on FYA
In the Friday Night Lights Rewatch, we’ve arrived at the hotly anticipated/dreaded season two. But at least there’s bonus Tim Riggins in a pool!
In this week’s Stream It, Sarah urges everyone who’s a sucker for murder mysteries featuring insufferable rich people to enjoy The Perfect Couple.
In book reviews:
- Sarah gave the lowdown on this month’s captivating FYA book club selection, A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab.
- Brian didn’t hate The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society by C.M. Waggoner (but he did hate that there’s a talking cat).
- And Regina checked out the second book in Claudia Gray’s Austen-inspired historical mystery series, The Late Mrs. Willoughby (Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney #2).
