Welcome to Litsy!

Looking through my "stacked" books I see a few I read but didn't review, including this one. It's been a few months so I probably don't remember all the details but I do remember liking this while simultaneously thinking it was weird that everyone went along with the widow acting like her husband was still there. A soft pick.

Right up my alley, a book in the form of a true crime podcast, a cold case set in the woods and marshes of England. Throw in some folklore and a great twist and you have a great read. At least I think so. Thanks for the heads up @Reggie 🖤

I am reading The Good Samaritan and it is as engaging as I expected. Next will be Six Stories because of @Reggie ‘s review. And I have one more book to read from the #womensprize longlist. I haven‘t heard much about it but it does sound good.

In 1997, the body of teenager Tom Jeffries is discovered in the marshland, a year after he had disappeared. 20 years later, a Serial type of podcast revisits his unexplained death in 6 interviews with people close to situation. This was great. A little frustrating because people are always holding something back and you just want to scream-Just tell us!!! This has some nice folklore misdirection, I was starting to believe in Nana Wrack. lol,Pick!

So I‘m about 1/4 into this book and it‘s taking me a while to read it. I think it‘s mainly due to how much school work I‘ve been doing and how much I‘ve been working! (Peep the pink scrubs 👀) I‘m hoping to spend some more time this weekend reading it and hopefully relaxing before Midterms start!

My top book from 2023

There's not really much new here if you are at all familiar with the most well-known serial killers of the 70s and 80s. If you aren't familiar with the likes of Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, and BTK, then this has some good introductory material. The book is a spin-off of a podcast. I've never listened to it and honestly probably won't. The attempts to interject humor weren't funny. They just felt disrespectful to the victims.

Not quite half way through. The plot is off the rails, but I do want to know what happened to Anna (Sophie?) and how Gretchen is involved. I don‘t think I will like it.
