    Nonfiction ARC Reviews: The Deaf Girl, I Want to Burn This Place Down, Hit Girls

    Y’all, I really feel like this year has involved me genuinely embracing nonfiction reads, but I’m still trying to be very limited about requesting nonfiction on Netgalley because I really do not need to be adding another genre to request given how many ARCs I have anyway.
