This was a reread for me, and this time I listened to Heather tell her tale. God, I‘m just so sad; have been since I heard that she died of depression last month. I keep thinking about how she would never leave her kids, how she was so hopeful after this treatment. How things seemed to unravel at such a quick pace. It‘s gutting.

pickOh god is this only my second #nonfiction #book this year?!?! 😂 😭 It was a book on the shorter side and I did enjoy it altho ~80% in I did get a bit lost in some details. I don't really know much about the topic but I really liked some of the theories (is that what it's called, lol) he came up with based on the findings he talks about. I'd like to read more on the subject, especially relating to the last topic: dogs and wolves and humans
so-soI finally finished #Byzantium, my first #nonfiction #read of the year?! Wow. It was alright. I felt like I learned quite a bit but I wasn't a fan of the narrator (I don't generally like British accents for narrators, NGL, it's a bit hard to understand sometimes, doesn't flow as smoothly as I'd like). After a while I did get bogged down by names and dates but I would read again, maybe a physical copy tho. 4/5.
pickThis was fascinating. I wonder how much has changed in the intervening 7 years. It's difficult to imagine actually being able to pull off a successful fake death.
Fun to read about though.

pickI don‘t really have anything new to say about this short read (just under 2 hours on audio) that shares the author‘s perspective on her home island of Antigua, but it is well worth the time. It will most likely make you think more consciously if you travel as a tourist to the Caribbean.
