Carolina reads A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
“Dark Academia” is a cultural trend sweeping Tumblr and Tiktok, an eclectic sub-community gauzed in stark, academic aesthetic and darkly gothic themes. On any dark academia moodboard, you can find androgynous tweed suits, dark libraries, sepia-tined cigarette smoke.

Danika reviews Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link You might remember Adiba Jaigirdar from her previous book, The Henna Wars!

Danika reviews Zara Hossain Is Here by Sabina Khan
Zara Hossain is Here surprised me. This is a short book, and it’s written in a way that feels pared down to the essentials. When the story begins, Zara is experiencing Islamophobic harassment from the star football player at school, but she has a strong network and friends and family that supports her. This harassmentRead More
