Happy Friday, folks!
ICYMI on FYA
In our ongoing rewatch of Friday Night Lights, Sarah reviewed episode 15, “Blinders,” in which powderpuff is a blast, but the town’s dark side rears its head.
Mandy W. posted the discussion questions for this month’s Book Club selection, Malinda Lo’s Last Night at the Telegraph Club.
I shared my thoughts on A Discovery of Witches, a bingeworthy paranormal series, in this week’s Stream It.
And in this week’s Book Reports:
- I reviewed Casey McQuiston’s The Pairing, which is heavy on spice but light on heart, and Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, and Jodi Meadows’s My Salty Mary, a terrific adventure on the high seas.
- Mandy W. reviewed Malinda Lo’s Last Night at the Telegraph Club, a look at queer life in 1954.
- Regina reviewed Moira Buffini’s Songlight, a harsh dystopian novel with beautiful prose.

I never cared for second person books. Too gimicky.
Are Choose Your Own Adventure books second person? I liked those, but they are definitely a gimmick.
