Happy Friday, friends! Sunday is the Super Bowl, and I don’t know about you, but I’m excited to cheer on Taylor’s boyfriend and eat appetizers all day. If football isn’t your thing, I bet we’ve got something below to keep you entertained!

February means the return of FYA’s annual Grown-Up Guide to Romance! Stephanie reviewed the delightfully bonkers historical, The Earl Takes All by Lorraine Heath. And be sure to come back on Monday when I’ll be gushing about one of my recent faves, Butcher & Blackbird. There will be serial killers.
