Happy Super Bowl weekend! I hope you enjoy it no matter what you are up to!
ICYMI, we’ve had a LOT of Olympic figure-skating coverage here on GFY. (It has been….an insane week in figure-skating.) Don’t forget to catch up on our recaps of The Gilded Age (they are full of deep dives!). And you might want some hedgehog earrings, or other animal jewelry! Finally, a reminder that The Heir Affair is currently a mere $2.99 wherever you get your ebooks (that link is to Amazon).

Um, WHY? Armie Hammer and his estranged wife Elizabeth Chambers are ‘slowly figuring things out as a couple’. (I feel like it’s possible someone at Disney was like, “we need to make some money on Death on the Nile, PLEASE pretend you are working stuff out with him for like TWO WEEKS, we will make it worth your while,” and this whole thing is a PR front.
