Happy Friday my lovely bookworms. So I’m excited because I’m finally reading and enjoying a book that I will finally finish this weekend. It’s an accomplishment to actually finish a book which I haven’t done in ages!! So I’m taking this moment to record the fact that I’m reading and tell you all about the book that has cured my reading funk. Also a nice quick post so I can get back to reading and sadly working at this time, but I’m a librarian I can sneak in the odd page or two! 😅
I missed this, my blog, so let’s start a conversation, what are you reading? Or starting or just finished. I want to know.

Galaxy 'Alex' Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime, Alex was hoping for a fresh start. But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious universities was bound to come with a catch.
Alex has been tasked with monitoring the mysterious activities of Yale's secret societies - well-known haunts of the rich and powerful. Now there's a dead girl on campus and Alex seems to be the only person who won't accept the neat answer the police and campus administration have come up with for her murder.
Because Alex knows the secret societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And sometimes they prey on the living …
Please note that this book does have trigger warnings for rape and abuse (so far) as I haven’t finished it yet.
So I’m reading this with a group of lovely bookstagrammers in collaboration Tandem Collective. So I’m half-way, a little behind with the schedule with work, but I’m loving this dark alcalmey and magic. I’m not sure that I’ve read anything like this before and it’s truly addictive. I love Darlington and his point of view so far, he’s that stubborn, dark and brooding type of guy. Also put that Alex Stern is Dante and he has to teach her everything about Yale’s magical societies and the forbidden magic of the veil. It’s creepy but another book I’m really going to enjoy of Leigh’s.
Have you read Ninth House? What are you currently reading? Let me know.
