Second book of December #nonfiction #savannah
pickI was slow moving with this, but it was a great read. A recommendation from a friend whose daughter lives in Ireland.
I remember hearing about the Troubles in the 90s as a kid but definitely didn‘t comprehend how complex the situation was.
Reading from afar, I can‘t help but wonder how much is still felt there now.
so-soA few years ago my book club picked this and I thought the first few pages were boring and didn‘t read it. Then last month my new book club picked it and i decided to try again. It‘s fine.
pickAlthough this is a novel, it calls itself a true crime story. The premise is that a 16 year old girl goes missing and a reality show producer swoops into town to cover the story. It‘s all too plausible that this could happen and how it affects the townspeople and the investigation rings true. Lots of twists in the story and tragedy too. If you read true crime, you might like this. Very telling about human nature.

It‘s now December so that means it‘s time for one of our #PersephoneClub reads!
@Gissy ‘s pick for us this month is Harriet by Elizabeth Jenkins. This is a casual buddy read; read and comment on each other‘s posts and reviews as you see them. We usually aim to finish by the middle of the month but that‘s not written in stone. 😉 And anyone is welcome to read along with us, of course!
pickNovember review dump incoming!
This was a very sad true crime story about a shocking disappearance in a quiet Tacoma neighborhood in 1961. An 8 year old girl vanished from her home one night, and the case was never solved. Later, of course, it would turn out that one of the teens she knew socially was Ted Bundy. The book tells the story of the Burr family and the investigation well, plus Bundy‘s early life.
Thanks @AWahle for sending me this!

pickThis True Crime book has been on my TBR list, forever. The book showed me what I already figured out: Mason was crazy as shit! He had already been in jail a ton of times before he became an adult.
This book is a chunkster. It was interesting but very hard to read. I had to take a lot of breaks while reading it. It just showed how evil some people are.
😊 Happy Reading 😊
