Welcome to Litsy!

For #weeklyfavorites, I‘m choosing the tagged book. I liked the way this book was written. I felt like I was reading a 1940s true crime novel. Before reading this book, I didn‘t know anything about this case. I‘ve heard of Black Dahlia because there‘s a song called Black Dahlia by the band Hollywood Undead and there‘s a band called The Black Dahlia Murder. I went and looked up the autopsy photos online and I had a hard time sleeping after that.

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished reading.

I‘m counting this book for 2 reading challenges:

Nike | Goddess of Victory: A book where the villain, in some way, wins - #greekmythologychallenge

I‘ve been #audiogaming all afternoon with the tagged book. The game I‘m playing on my phone is Cookie Jam. I‘ve been playing for years off and on. Every time I got stuck on a hard level, I would quit playing for a while but it seems like the game developers made the levels a little bit easier because I don‘t stay stuck on a hard level for weeks like I used to. The levels are still hard but the game developers don‘t want people to stop playing.

Here‘s what I‘m reading for my #weekendreads. I just started it and I‘m liking it so far. I like the writing style. I‘m not going to finish it this weekend but at least I‘ve started it.

I decided to start this book. It will work for the #greekmythologychallenge for the prompt “A Book Where The Villain, In Some Way, Wins.” This is an unsolved murder that I don‘t know anything about but I‘ve heard of it. I listened to the first 2 chapters and I like the way it‘s written. I feel like I‘m reading a 1940‘s true crime novel but I like it. I feel like I‘m going back in time but that‘s because I am. I wasn‘t even born yet.

Completed book #3 halfway through the readathon. I always enjoy Black Dahlia theories. @DeweysReadathon #readathon #truecrime

Participated in the mini-challenge: bake and stretch, while listening to the tagged book. Getting close to a quarter thru the 24-hour readathon. @DeweysReadathon #readathon #readingchallenge

My current audiobook immediately came to mind for #asilentscream.

The Black Dahlia was Elizabeth Short, her life sniffed out on January 15, 1947. Her murderer has never been caught.

This audio is so much more than just a retelling of Short‘s demise though. You get thrown into the atmospheric world of journalists and cops in the 1940s and it is delicious!

Fascinating. If you're a fan of true crime, pick this book up. This story is a touch different in that the author reveals her own detective work alongside that of those involved in the actual case. The narrative style is reminiscent of Erik Larson and every bit as intriguing.

This evening‘s audiobook. 📖🎧

I was so excited to read this book. I actually enjoyed part one, but I stopped reading a few chapters into part two.

Up next in my #litsypartyofone ...
I really should finish some other ones but #lapl wants this back since there's a queue. Guess I'm just gonna have to finish it 😊

Dinner reading. 🖤☠️🥀
