Normally we like to get pro-tips up in the morning but well, this week had other plans for me. But here they are! Happy Friday, y’all.

ICYMI on FYA

We started Season 4 of our Friday Night Lights Rewatch Project, and Stephanie has some thoughts!

For this week’s Stream It, I reviewed the We Were Liars series, and, well, I also have some thoughts!

In book reviews:

  • Regina raved about A Treachery of Swans by A.B. Poranek, a fairy tale retelling that makes you feel its magic as if it were new.

We had the exact same reaction when we saw this little guy in the Sunrise on the Reaping casting news:

Sarah lives in Austin, and believes there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure, which is part of why she started FYA in 2009. Growing up, she thought she was a Mary Anne, but she's finally starting to accept the fact that she's actually a Kristy.
