Fun times reading a fiction book with footnotes but yeah, this spoke to my humanities degree. 8. The Binding by Bridget Collins This one threw me for a loop. Dense, a little hard to get into at first, but I was not expecting how impactful this motherfucker would be. 7. Theme Music by T Marie Vandelly YES!!! Yes this was so good.
