Ireland by Michael March

informative fast-paced

I found multiple mistakes in this book and the graphs are not always clear. The edition I had was also over 20 years old

Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

It's leaning really heavily into misoginy and homophobia and It's not the vibes I need right now
