Trying to catch up and as i was very early for an appt browsed in waterstones to find 2 books perfect for two missing entries and books that i am definitely going put on tbr list. This is a forgotten American classic abt john wilkes booth, another gunshot that changes history. I definitely like the look of the story.

Since it's #YesFemmeberInNovember I chose Amy Stewart's book, but my first thought was Hugh Laurie's The Gun Seller.

JFK was killed by a #gunshot 55 years ago, and this is the fictional account of him and his siblings as told by a nanny.

Joe Sr and Rose Kennedy raises their boys to be future presidents and their girls to be Catholic housewives, and left most of the day to day care to live in nannies. A lot of the tragedies that befell the Kennedys were covered—Rosie‘s lobotomy, and the deaths of Kick and Joe Jr. #nofemmeber

DAY 28: When Mattie Ross heard that her father died from a #gunshot wound inflicted by an acquaintance, she vowed to avenge him.

I loved this book so much. I listened to the audio version narrated by Donna Tartt. 5⭐️

Day 28 - #gunshot #nofemmeber

I am longing for your poison
Like a cancer for its prey
Shot an arrow, in your harbor
Where you waited in the rain
I am siren, I am ivy
I am no one, I'm nobody
I am longing for your honey
I am longing for your love
And the shot goes through my head and back
Gunshot, I can't take it back
Lay me down in your ocean
Carry me and my burden
I was dreaming about you honey
I was hoping you'd save me

I can not recommend this book enough - a study of four women who influenced the American Civil War in one way or the other. These four women risked their lives to rally for their cause. Such a great book! #Gunshot #NoFemmeber

This one seems to be well liked on Litsy, still haven‘t read.

Based on a true story, a young woman decides to join law enforcement after her family is threatened. Saw the author discuss her research at a local bookstore when it was released. #gunshot #nofemmeber

I finally have a good one for these prompts! This is a great memoir of a very dysfunctional family. Mikal Gilmore is a journalist who wrote this in an effort to make sense of his brother - a murderer who was executed for his crimes and chose to be shot. If I remember rightly, he really digs into the history and psychology of their family and the Mormon religion - so it‘s a thoughtful rather than shocking read.
