Welcome to Litsy!

Very interesting!

This was so good! Funny and real, I loved hearing all these stories of women through the centuries pulling the most amazing cons, some shocking and some predictable, but all fascinating. I love this kind of #non-fiction. Didn‘t want to stop listening. Great on #audio too! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Time to finally start the next Cocktails & Crimes book club pick.

4.5 stars- The narrator was amazing! I loved the fun, witty way the book was written and it made what could have been a dry book, thoroughly enjoyable. I also liked how she went into some of the motivations of the women. Overall a very fun and informative book.

happy women‘s history month
some of these were interesting as hell, funny how much women can get away with bc they‘re inherently more trustworthy and less threatening

After reading “Lady Killers” I knew I wanted to read Tori Telfer‘s book about con women. Broken up into 4 parts, this book highlights various confidence artists throughout history. #truecrime #conartist #conwoman

Numerous true crime books came to mind for today's prompt. This is a collection of con artists who swindle, defraud, Ponzi, scam & otherwise #manipulates their targets. Looking forward to this one, especially as I greatly enjoyed Tefler's previous book, Lady Killers.

Really good!!!

This has fantastic audio narration, and the stories of the women are great. Really enjoyed this one

Happy National Library Week! I stopped by my local branch this afternoon to pick up my holds. When lockdown first went into effect for safety last year, libraries were the service I missed the most. Thanks to all of the librarians on Litsy!

True stories of female confidence criminals and their scams. The last chapter was about Sante Kimes, a woman who helped murder an 80 year old woman in NYC so she could take over all her assets and property. She was truly evil. Con games work well for women since most people trust a woman more than they would a man. Fast reading, decent writing. Four stars.🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was one wild story after the next. True crime fans will savor each story of female con artists spanning centuries and continents.
