A really fascinating look at the development of societies across the globe and why certain areas ended up with certain staples while other areas remained primitive for decades.
It is a bit dry and academic so if you can get past those elements then you will have a nice perspective of human development.

This book is about the mass killings in Indonesia in 1965-66 and in other countries in the 20th century. There were so many details in this well researched book. I listened to the audio, so I‘m already planning to reread it and to research some of the topics in it, such as the Bandung Conference. #NonFiction

Informative and full of interesting titbits, but I learned that I prefer chronological narrative.

This is a great little book for #sports trivia fans. It's a fascinating look at a variety of sports. I'd recommend reading with a group of sports friends.

I didn't realize this was a memoir comic when I picked it up, but it started to dawn on me as themes took shape. This is a lovely look into the author's life, the middle school experience, maintaining friendships, and growing up with devorsed and complicated parents. I enjoyed the way Tori's writing is represented, and the references to Harvest Moon charmed me endlessly. #Comics #Nonfiction #MemoirComic

Could be just me, but I didn't like this book as much as I liked 'Vanderbilt ' by him. It seemed it was more gossip, and I got tired of hearing about Mrs. Astor's jewels. I thought I would get more out of it than I did. Mine is not a popular opinion. Others enjoyed it, you may too.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

3.5⭐️ (Low pick)

Even though there have been many books written about this, I had never heard about it until I saw it on Netgalley. Back in the 1970s through the mid-1990s, two homicide cops in NYC worked for the mob.

Lou Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa killed for the mob and passed information to them. Eppolito's father was in the mob, but Lou wanted to be a cop. When he didn't get the recognition he that he deserved from being a cop, ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read he let it be known he was for hire. Soon, Caracappa joined him.

The book is well researched, but it bogged down to me. It took me a week to get through the first half of the book, but after that, I couldn't put it down. I ended up staying up past midnight to finish it.

Tentative Publication Date:
January 14, 2025

Thanks to Netgalley, Saint Martin Press, and Michael Cannell for the E-ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

😊 Happy Reading 😊
