My May Favourite: In Cold Blood 🔪 🩸

An oldie but a goodie.
This one's been recommended to me by a few people, and I'm happy I finally listened and read it.

I'm so excited for my #auldlangspine list from @CSeydel. The only book on the list I've already read is My Friends by Fredrick Backman.

I'm going to prioritize reading In Cold Blood, Tress of the Emerald Sea, We Solve Murders, Mickey7, and The Stardust Grail in January, but there are so many other interesting books on this list that I'll hopefully manage to read at some point!

Thanks @monalyisha for organizing!

This book was readable but the cheese factor was not for me right now. Blame the news. #ReadingUSA #Kansas

Teen + husband at their weekly bourbon night (well bourbon/whiskey night for the husband, hanging out with their friends for the teen 😂) means I can have a Mama Night at my favorite local bar/restaurant!

Strong contenders this month but a clear winner with Capote‘s true-crime classic. But is that Brandon Sanderson I see sneaking into the Wild Card spot? #October

This was an interesting twist on the haunted house story. Four novelists get an offer to spend the night in a haunted house for publicity. They all had weird experiences there but when they leave that's when the craziness starts 🐈‍⬛

Witches! Ghosts! Ghouls! Set as a Western, complete with a shoot-out! This book was such a great surprise! It‘s the first of a series - can‘t wait to get my hands on the next one ♥️

Absolutely tremendous narrative nonfiction about a botched robbery, a senseless mass murder, and the two young men responsible. Capote successfully navigates a sensational high-wire act: he writes complex, deeply humanizing portrayals of the murderers without seeming to excuse their actions, neglect the victims, or minimize the horrific crime. I found it fascinating how a variety of circumstances lined up just so, leading to the murders. 5⭐️
