I’ll cut right to the chase: I’ve been watching a lot of TV shows lately, especially with ongoing lockdown orders in place. As a result, I’ve put together a list of my latest TV recommendations of shows, ranging from teen dramas to Marvel to sci-fi and more!

At AvidBards, we continue to be honoured when authors ask us to review their books. Though we’ve admittedly been much slower to take on new books and respond to requests in the last little while (especially throughout the pandemic), one request that really piqued our interest was actor Leon Acord’s memoir entitled Sub-Lebrity*: *The Queer Life of a Show-Biz Footnote.

So you can get in the zone, immerse yourself in your feelings, dance along, sing along, or decompress — whatever you need. Above all else, be sure to be kind to yourself.
