What I'm Reading  

What did you recently finish reading?

White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg
Most recent non-fiction read, and I thought it was pretty fascinating!

Havana Year Zero by Karla Suárez
Most recent read for my Around the World Reading Challenge for Cuba. The time period was really interesting and I generally enjoyed the story, though the love triangle aspects weren't my jam.

Davo by NR Walker
Recent MM romance read, and it had a lot of potential, but ultimately I found it disappointing.

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft
Interesting to read the inspo for so much pop culture references, and the stories were fascinating, though the gratuitous racism and misogyny were really disgusting.
