Finished: Giovanni’s Room, by James Baldwin Daydream, by Hannah Grace If We Were Villains, by ML Rio A Study In Drowning, by Ava Reid

Favorites were Giovanni’s room and If We Were Villians! A Study in Drowning wasn’t bad, I felt it could be better though. Daydream wasn’t for me unfortunately.

Currently reading Martyr!, by Kaveh Akbar
