We have nearly made it halfway through the month, and cheers to us for that! It sounds like time for a little treat (I’m thinking of an iced coffee personally).
ICYMI on FYA
On this week’s Friday Night Lights rewatch, Kandis recapped episode 3.04 and we find out if Smash is going to college or not!
In this week’s Stream It, Mandy W. visits season 1 of North of North and the charming town of Ice Cove, a town which I now want to visit and meet its inhabitants.
In book reviews:
- Stephanie reviewed Jandy Nelson’s latest, When the World Tips Over, which is also the FYA book club pick next month!
- Regina reviewed Cornelia Funke’s The Aurelia Curse, which is the third in the Dragon Riders series, and who doesn’t love some middle grade dragons?

A new Pride & Prejudice adaptation is coming, this time as a miniseries with Olivia Colman (!!) as Mrs. Bennet. I look forward to everyone’s opinions of where it ranks among the Colin Firth miniseries and the Keira Knightley movie.
I guess I need to catch up on Only Murders in the Building with this Logan Lerman addition.
That’s a wrap on Verity!
