Books, Reading, and everything in between
While we're approaching one of the biggest holidays in the United States, reports of COVID are also on the rise. For most of us, that means we're staying home, staying six feet apart, and celebrating a family holiday without the family.

If you're not sure what Dark Academia is, it's basically an Internet trend. At the beginning of the pandemic and quarantine, some TikTok folks were creating new aesthetics with the items they have in their house.
