As a woman, wife, and mother, I will be thinking about this one for a while. The brutal rape of a 14 y/o Mexican girl rocks a community in 1976 Odessa, Texas. It‘s a time where women had few options and not much was expected of them, other than being good wives and mothers. Told from multiple POVs, all strong women and girls, and all great characters. The setting itself is written so strongly that it‘s like a character too.

Finished my #ThematicCozies

I enjoy this series and I felt like the full cast of characters were portrayed really well in this one. I‘m looking forward to continuing this series.

A good MG story about a girl‘s soccer team who fight back when their sexist male coach crosses the line. It‘s kinda sad and infuriating though that a MG book had to be written about this subject, but I‘m glad it‘s out there for any young girls who might need it.

2 1/2 ⭐️

It's a short book with 5 True Crime stories. The main one is about the I-70 Strangler. Herb Baumeister was a married man, but he had homosexual tendencies. He was committed to a psychiatric hospital as a youth by his father. His wife could count on her hand the number of types they had sex in 25 years of marriage. He committed over 21 murders. The other 4 stories are missing person cases and murder cases. Mine is not a popular ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read opinion, but the editing was not really done.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

Fascinating, infuriating, and horrifying. This #audiobook kept me listening and I may have yelled a bit too. Deeply researched and thoughtful, I highly recommend for anyone interested in cults or how the US political landscape got to where it is right now. #BookspinBingo

I like cozy mysteries where the amateur sleuth runs a bookstore, coffee shop or bakery. This beachfront bakery series is enjoyable.

4.5⭐️

I never even heard of what happened in Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001. Some of my friends on Litsy had read it and recommended it. I'm so glad they did. It's an uplifting story. It shows that there are still people in this world who will go out of their way to help people and be nice. I remember how America came together on September 11, and I wonder what has happened to us. We are such a divided country now. ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read Why can't we all just get along?

😊 Happy Reading 😊

kspenmoll There was a wonderful Broadway musical , Cone From Away, based on this event that was also televised at some point. It was such a fabulous celebration of humanity at its best. It may still be available to stream. I cannot remember how long ago we watched it. 1d
MonicaLoves2Read @kspenmoll I say that in the book, but didn't think about maybe streaming it. Thanks 1h

I didn't DNF this, but I did start skimming. It was just so obvious. And I know it ultimately wasn't going to go *much* into the perfectly likeable female characters who get vilified by pop culture and fandom, but it didn't even touch on it. Disappointing in the end, and definitely makes me wonder if her book on horror was just as obvious to someone who actually likes horror films.

Still somehow avoiding a #BookSpinBingo by following my whim. 😂
