EvEry yEar, the Reno News & Review focuses on “media” in our fall guide. Our conceit is, “Evenings are getting cooler, wouldn’t you like to just curl up in bed with a good tablet and read or watch movies or listen to music?” Well, let’s be logical about this. Autumn is actually one of the most beautiful seasons in northern Nevada: Evenings and nights are comfortable, the days have that crisp bite, colors are changing. It’s just a great time to be outside. But we know how you are: You start building a pile of books next to the bed for those cold winter nights. You’re probably sticking mental Post-its onto the back of your mind for the movies you’ll watch in front of the roaring fire in November. And who buys music seasonally? You’re probably like us, watching every Tuesday to see who has released new music. We’re just here to help with the planning.
