ICYMI on FYA
I posted the discussion questions for August’s FYA Book Club selection: Katie Bernet’s Beth is Dead. This dark contemporary murder mystery is a reimagining of Little Women for the True Crime crowd.
Brian shared his thoughts on Beetlejuice: The Musical, which, while only sort of based on the movie, is a fun time at the theater and serves as a great companion to the original.
In this week’s Book Reports:
- Brian proved that we are still With It with a review of Matt DInniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl.
- And I posted a review of a new fantasy series starter that is less formulaic than its title, Amanda Connolly’s The Lure of Wolves and Whispers.
