pick*book hidden behind Crumb 🥰❤️*
I enjoyed this book and didn‘t 100% see the end coming which I love! This is my first book by this author but I would definitely read the second one 📖
pickThe story is crazy and over the top, and the MC Lottie is pretty lovable. On the one hand, she‘s a sweet and unsuspecting senior citizen with bingo games at her church and ailments galore. On the other hand, she‘s left a years-long trail of murders in her wake and isn‘t above committing more to keep her name clear. No one is safe around Lottie.
This be a super fun TV show. I hope someone develops it. 🔪🔨📺
pickI see a lot of people hate this book. It seems people had trouble with the structure, I read it a lot like The Devil In The White City. Multiple stories across the same time line. Mental disorders being related to pollution is seems too hard for people to believe, I saw a lot of hate for that. While it is an untested theory, are we too arrogant to believe there isn‘t something to all the environmental destruction? I say try this book.
Family playing in front of Ruston home as Tacoma smelter blows lead and arsenic. It would coat everything, animals would lick it off their paws and die. The greed of men truly knows no bounds.
pickThis book was pretty heavy. I found the parts with the smelters to be the most interesting but found the murder details to the victims to be too sickening. Some say the bridge parts were boring but that bridge was a killer! Those bridges were perfect examples of greed and inaction by those in charge, choosing profit over the countless lives it took. This book is equally daunting as it is fascinating but i literally need months to recover from it
pickBoth novellas were twists on horror staples - the hitchhiking murder and the babysitter on Halloween. Both were pretty bonkers. I liked The Babysitter Lives a little more, it just dragged at the end. It had the far better protagonist though. The female protagonist of Killer on the Road was very frustrating. I‘d give Killer on the Road 3⭐️ and The Babysitter Lives 4⭐️.
#doublespin read done!
pickSome of you might remember I posted about a local bookclub that was just getting started in SA.. well this was our first book. Post Stolen from IG from one of the other ladies in our book club who makes book themed cocktails. I loved this story that is set in the world of the Ruinous Love trilogy. If you read Butcher and Blackbird, the FMC in this book was a minor character. This book is the start of a trilogy all focused on the same couple. ⬇️
October wrap up. I forgot to add Pet Sematary. I finished it at the end of September but I started over and listened to the audio book in October. Such a great narration! Everything I read was 4-5 stars. The tagged book surprised me. I usually hate books where the narrator is an antihero, and I‘m not in the habit of cheering on serial killers, but Lottie was a hoot! I‘m now gearing up for Nonfiction November. Happy Halloween! 🎃
so-so
