2024/11/26

Each Tuesday, we discuss an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost. This was a Sayid episode, and while we found the connection between the flashbacks and the action on the island to be tenuous, we were OK with it (especially for the side plot of "Sawyer reads to the baby").Next Tuesday, we'll discuss season 1, episode 22, "Born to Run." Tomorrow, it's Shrinking, season 2, episode 4.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a three-book series for young readers called My Pet Slime.

Mentioned: Publisher Andrews McMeel.Terri's random recommendation is back on the shelf for a few more weeks while we finish out the season of Dancing with the Stars. This week was the semi-finals, which turned out to be a lot of drama for nothing

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a novel by Dancing with the Stars's own Julianne Hough called Everything We Never Knew.
