    The Night Shift

    Thank you to Net Galley and Minotaur Books for the digital copy of The Night Shift by Alex Finlay, in exchange for an honest review. #partner Synopsis: On New Year's Eve night 1999, a horrible murder takes place at a small town New Jersey Blockbuster.

    The Secret History

    Coming fresh off my last blog post about dark academia recs, I finally finished The Secret History by Donna Tartt.

    The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois

    How do I adequately put into words how much this book impacted me? I am honestly speechless, because this book was an absolute work of art. A modern-day masterpiece and one that will one day be a classic. The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers is an immersive generational saga spanning hundreds of years, countless lives, and one plot of land that holds all the stories. Ugh, I loved this one so much, but buckle in because it's a long one. Coming in at 790
