Stopping at page 85 for the night. This book is deeply interesting! Too bad I have to study for a final now. 🙄😑

38% done. It's struggling a bit to keep my attention but I'm gonna stay with it.

Just reread this literary classic! I read my old high school copy that was full of underlinings and highlights. I enjoyed the storyline but I didn't love it as much as I did in high school. I wanted more background of the characters Lenny and George. I also felt the entire book was a bit rushed and repetitive. I loved the detail but wanted more substance and plot twists. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Which of these should be my next audiobook adventure? I can't decide. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I listened to this book on Audible. I have never read a book like this before and was intrigued. I was hooked after every chapter. It was mysterious, frightening, heart-warming, gut-wrenching, motivating, creative, and unexpected. I was in love with all of the characters and was rooting for January with every word. I thought I would not enjoy a book like this but I was happily wrong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Just bought this book yesterday. I am so excited to read this. The Victorian era was crazy with all of the medical discoveries and medicine concoctions that were found to be unsafe. So creepy and interesting to me.

Oh this is a fun one!
1. Psychological thrillers, true crime set in the Victorian era, stories with a medical twist.
2. The Machinist, Shutter Island
3. Sons of Cain
4. Does CSI count?
5. No gore if it looks fake or overdone
6. If you could write a mystery book what would you title it?

If you guys love CSI and crime shows, you'll love this book. I'm learning so many new things about psychopaths that the media would never be able to capture. Great reading choice by my grad school professor!

Everyday is a new beginning, we just can't be afraid to live it. 🧡

Perfect audiobook to listen to on my long drive to work. I'm loving this story. So creative and mysterious. It's a story about a story within a story, woah. 😍

Thank you so much Melanie for my free copy of your first book!

I'm two chapters in and I'm completely hooked, its fast paced and intriguing. It was not at all how I thought it was going to start. I can't wait to read more of it.

I really enjoyed the beginning but I found myself rushing/skimming part 2 of the book so I can get to the ending of who the killer was and how he was identified (in the Appendix). The appendix was disappointing. But I absolutely loved Michelle's "Letter to an Old Man" at the end of the book. She wrote it before the killer was caught. It was creepy, poetic, and optimistic. I loved how the main book read like a fiction novel. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5 STARS).

This is how it ends for you. You'll be silent and I'll be gone in the dark. Open the door. Show us your face. Walk into the light.

1. I'll Be Gone In The Dark - Michelle McNamara

2. There was no reply; she heard no footsteps. A vehicle never started up. She never knew how or when he left; just that at some point he did.

My goal is to finish this book this weekend. About 60% done and just starting part 2! Who else has read this book?

Just started this book on Audible. I love how creative and whimsical the storyline is. I'm 4 chapters in and I feel so connected to the main character already. I read a lot of heavy and cold material for school so it's nice to have a fun, childlike fantasy book every once in awhile.

Sitting at my hotel room in Myrtle Beach wishing I could travel to Savannah for a day before going home to freezing Illinois. 🙃🙃

To be honest I wasn't a fan of the character development and the beginning of the story was too slow for me. Maybe it was just the Audiobook that threw me off.

Finished this book at the beach!!! I never heard of this book or the movie until I started reading this. I have to say I absolutely loved the storyline and I loved the ending even more!! What a fantastic read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book as absolutely fantastic. Her story is gut-wrenching, as expected, but it is engaging, inspiring, eye-opening, healing, and honest. I'm blown away by her bravery to tell her story, as bravery is needed to help correct our society that still promotes rape culture, hides and blames victims, and protects offenders. 100/100 would recommend to every reader.

Finally finished this book! The first few chapters about the stone age are crazy interesting. I absolutely loved it. I appreciate the hard work Vronsky put into this book. It was a bit too heavy on the statistics but then again they were absolutely necessary.
I also love that there is a website with additional information and pictures!!! Great addition.
I highly recommend this book to any true-crime or non-fiction genre fan! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

28 pages left! I am too tired to finish it. My eyes are closing and I rereading sentences because I can't focus. 😭 So close yet so far... I guess I'll have to finish it tomorrow.

I am loving this book so far. So crazy interesting! Very statistical and a bit difficult to get through. But I really am enjoying the research and information in it.

This story was fantastic. I loved it. So interesting and had me thinking about my beliefs and values throughout. Definitely a must hear! I can't give 1 complaint.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Haha more like how many books can I read before I start grad school next month!! 📚📖📘📚

Okay this book is amazing, but I just finished chapter 6 and my stomach is churning. First chapter to make me dizzy with nausea. It was about the witch trials of the 1450s to the 1650s. Horrifying details. But very much appreciated from a statistical book. Still a fantastic read. Can't wait to read what comes next!

My favorite poet. 🧡

Okay, all I know about this book is from the description on Goodreads. I haven't seen the movie nor have I seen a trailer for the movie. So I'm excited to read this book without expecting it to live up to the hype. That's my favorite way to read books. 😍

Scored big at the local Friends of the Library day. 5 books for $5. 😍😍

I'm going to start reading Water for Elephants. I need a break from the true crime / research books on crime I'm reading right now.

I've been reading this book for 2.5 years! Time to finish this bad boy.

I thought this book was fantastic. I have never read this story nor have I watched the movie. I thought the storyline was deep and engaging. I liked that the characters were relatable and their decisions questioned my beliefs at times. I was sucked into the story from chapter one. I throughly enjoyed The Best of Me.

The story is about love, friendship, anger, grief, and an overwhelming desire for pure happiness that is packed full of emotion.

I'm FINALLY caught up at work which gives me time to read my book. I work at a rape crisis center so when we read it has to be a book on sexual violence, trauma, self care, etc. I'm 5 chapters in and this book is great! I love the pictures she adds at the end of each chapter.

Just finished this book. It was okay. I wanted the story to be a bit longer, a bit more resolved. It felt rushed at the end and incomplete. But I really liked the storyline.
⭐⭐⭐ (3.5 stars)

Just finished this audiobook! I really loved it. I felt like I was John Douglas's intern and I was following him around case by case and court by court. Loved it.

I'm about to start graduate school for forensic psychology and this book has made me so excited to start this crazy program!!

Just started reading! I really like the story line already!

Just finished reading this!! Was a quick read and it kept my attention all the way through! I loved the twist ending. I highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)

My murder mystery bookshelf is coming along nicely! I have finished 6 books and working my way through two (Stiff and Sons of Cain)!
