Monster: My True Story | Aileen Wuornos, Christopher Berry-Dee
post image
Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the worst, and honestly creepiest, covers I‘ve ever seen. Been reading about this broad topic a lot lately, and never knew Aileen‘s story beyond the sex worker piece, so it was time. Her tumultuous upbringing was truly horrific, giving her zero chance at a stable adulthood. Still not an excuse for murdering 7 men. I could buy self defense once, maybe twice, but every time? Honey, please. Unsurprisingly, Wuornos had many diagnoses.

bookaholic1 The movie is good too 5h
britt_brooke @bookaholic1 I‘ve never seen it, but may have to watch finally. 5h
bookaholic1 They did a good job with the movie and the model that played her 3h

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One more about Israel Keyes. It‘s a weird need to be a pseudo expert sometimes, not this would ever be a normal topic of conversation. I‘ve had enough now. This guy was the worst kind of monster. Thankful he was caught before inflicting even more suffering and death. That he had a daughter blows my mind. Even being a father couldn‘t save his disgusting deviant behavior.

KathyWheeler I have the weird need too — with me, it‘s white supremacy movements, so I have a lot of books about the KKK and other groups. Not a topic that comes up much in conversation. 😄 Before that, it was serial killers; I don‘t know anything about Israel Keyes though. I‘ll have to read this. (edited) 21h
britt_brooke @KathyWheeler It‘s that desire to become an expert. Definitely think it‘s a personality thing. The need to not feel dumb should the occasion for these very specific conversations arise. 😂 20h
LeahBergen I do these exact sort of deep dives, too. 😆 20h
britt_brooke @LeahBergen 😂 Sweet validation! 10h

This one wasn't quite as gripping as the first book, but it's still a pacy read with bodies dropping left, right & centre. There's also an enemies-to-lovers subplot & the original survivors pop up in several chapters which was nice as I didn't warm to the new characters in this one. 3.5🌟

TWs: graphic violence, death.

This is an investigative podcast from Audible where the author seeks to find the truth of who killed Jimmy. The murder occurred in the Australian Northern Territory during the hottest season of the year. Jimmy‘s body was discovered in a creek bed, mummified, with his genitals removed. Phillip Mather, Jimmy‘s best friend, was convicted of the crime and served 11 years in prison.

Dodged a bullet? Cricket didn‘t due to Gun Loving Loon Kristi N. In Dead Boss Cemetery Vol. III, a gun club faces an ugly, and grotesque scene. The leader shoots her head off when her gun misfires. OH NO! It‘s time for therapy again! https://tinyurl.com/yc2kr2fn

Book 3 of the Shady Hollow series is set in the fall season with cozy food & drink & town elections with🐻Orville running for Police Chief while 🦊Reporter Vera Vixen has a new mystery to solve. One of the Mirror Lake rats 🐭claims her husband was murdered even though he‘s right there. I‘m working my way through this cozy mystery series before the new one is out in July & enjoying the small town of animals vibe.

Kshakal I just got the first one in this series and am super excited to read it! 4d
DieAReader 🥳Great! 3d
TheSpineView Fantastic! 3d
bookandbedandtea This series sounds fun! Upon investigation I discovered I have the first one in kindle. I've added it to my "read in May" list. 3d

I wanted to like this! I didn't want to overthink the cheesy teen slasher horror and tried to go with the flow (of gore). Alas! Thoughts invaded. The killer's motive was the most nonsensical thing. I mean? What is even going on there? This makes me sound horrible but the book is best when it's fast-paced and slashy and bloody and at its worst when it spends way too many pages on teen angst and romance. Granted, I'm not the target audience, but.

Mimi28 Yikes I wish there was an un-stack option, you hardly ever give bad reviews, 😳😱 5d
sarahbarnes 😂😂 Fantastic review. 5d

batsy @Mimi28 It's a bit of mindless fun if you're in the right mood, but quite a bit of gore (sorry I realise that gore isn't actually fun for many people 😭🙈) 5d
batsy @sarahbarnes Haha thank you! 5d
bookandbedandtea "Alas. Thoughts invaded." Made me laugh! 5d
Aimeesue Go with the flow! 😂 5d
vivastory I did like this one, but I could have done without the teen angsit/romance. The egg timer scene at the beginning though... (edited) 5d
batsy @vivastory That scene creeped me out! I enjoyed all of the "there's someone inside your house" scenes ? And liked the bits from other characters' POV. Thought Makani was just a bit too woe is me and thus, boring. 5d

“When a man dies from a bullet entering his chest, it's a homicide.
When a man dies from a meteorite landing on his head, it's a tragedy.
Don't use bullets. Use meteorites
Don't commit a homicide. Commit a Tragedy.”
