Stephanie did not have a good time in this week’s Friday Night Lights rewatch of 2.08.

Mandy W., however, did have a good time in this week’s Stream It of Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar.

  • Regina enjoyed The Last Bookstore on Earth by Lily Braun-Arnold, an apocalyptic tale with a gorgeous cover.
  • Mandy C. read A Language of Dragons, the first in a series by S.F. Williamson, set in a world with dragons and dragon translators and codebreakers.
