This book had me transfixed from the start. A modern spin, I would say, on The Secret History. I enjoyed everything about this book. Twist ending. #themaidens #mystery #whodunnit

I‘ve been interested in the Dyatlov Pass Incident since I first heard about it. What happened to them?
This book explores what happened, tells their story, and comes to the most likely conclusion. Definitely recommend! #dyatlovpass #deadmountain #historical
First book of the new year.
I thought this book took an interesting approach to understanding more about who people are and how they act. Listening to their speech can tell you a lot.

Gripping the entire time. The end was a little bit of a let down, but otherwise great story. Kept me on the edge the entire time. #thelostvillage #translated #horror
Read this if you want to understand the lasting affects that trauma has on people. It‘s incredibly interesting
Before this book, I had no understanding or real knowledge of the oppressive Pinochet dictatorship that ruled Chile throughout the 80s. How the author compares what happened during that time to the show The Twilight Zone and relates it to current events is interesting. It was absolutely an interesting read! #thetwilightzone #chile #translated
For some reason it took me too long to read this book. It‘s kind of counterintuitive, but I really loved this book.
Can‘t believe it‘s taken me this long to read this book. Such a unique story.
I loved this book. I loved her writing style. I love how it kept you on edge the entire time.
I also think you could spin-off the first chapter into its own book.
I was hoping for more from this book.
It takes a historical look at one ‘medium‘ in pre-WWII England. While the science is interesting and it‘s unique to see how the paranormal went to more pseudoscience, it was overall bland.
This book took me an incredibly long time to read; not just because it‘s about 500 pages.
It‘s extremely interesting how globalization has been around since the first recorded voyage in 1492. The impacts of that first voyage are very interesting to see and the world would be an entirely different place without it.
It‘s hard to put into words how good this book was. Maria is a 14 year old resistance member in Poland during the Nazi regime. She is caught and tortured, taken to Auschwitz where her family is killed. In her story there are amazing, real, people. The author put so much thought and research into this novel. Recommend.

To be completely honest, I don‘t get the hype around this book. I loved the writing, but not the plot. It dragged on. Just wasn‘t a book for me.
Seth includes a number of stories about funny situations in his life. It‘s written like him and is a nice easy read. #sethrogen #nonfiction #yearbook
Recommend. Horowitz writes some of my favorite modern murder mysteries. A book within a book. #whodunnit #murdermystery #fiction
It‘s not really a hunt, more like an anthology of his life and crimes. But still, I had never heard about Dr Cream before and loved the writing style.

I thought that the idea behind this book was great. Cults are very nuanced, especially in this day and age. However, she uses an incredible amount of words I need a dictionary to look up (and heavily rely on context clues). #cultish #cult #nonfiction
This book was everything I wanted it to be. Boston in the 1660s. A fantastic read. #TheHouroftheWitch #fiction #witches
This book is horrible, terrible, and impossible to put down. The ending is unexpected and jolting. A dystopian future where cannibalism is socially accepted. #Horror #TenderIsTheFlesh #Cannibalism
I don‘t run. I‘ve never wanted to run. But after reading this I do.
I thought this book would be some boring book about running. Surprise, it‘s not. It‘s about an adventure in the Mexican desert to discover an elusive tribe of ancient running people, a secret race, and the man that makes it all possible.

After reading “Lady Killers” I knew I wanted to read Tori Telfer‘s book about con women. Broken up into 4 parts, this book highlights various confidence artists throughout history. #truecrime #conartist #conwoman
Always wanted to read this book. Felt like he took too long getting to the good parts. But that‘s probably just because books were different back then.

I always post pictures of books, but since getting this cute stinker, my reading has gone down.
I finally finished Greenlights. It was pretty good, thought I‘ve heard that audio is the way to go with it.
I heard about this book on a podcast. Michelle tells about her experience in the CIA and the work she did after using her experiences. Overall, it was an interesting look into the real lives of undercover agents. #BreakingCover #CIA
After a very real reading slump, this book got me out of it. It‘s so gripping.
Finishing up this book today!
I‘ve never heard about any of these deadly women until reading this book. Telfer breaks down the myths behind these women and tells their stories to the point.

I enjoyed this book, but it could be difficult to read. Some parts were graphic, some parts were confusing. It was an interesting horror novel.
I really wanted to like this book.
The best short story, in my opinion is the one that it‘s named after.
This book is insightful and eye opening. I love how Isabel Wilkerson writes.
I didn‘t know that this was the companion book the the Magpie Murders, but nonetheless it was great.
A book within a book!

I started this book with short “horror” stories.
None of them have really piqued my interest so far, but I‘m powering through.
This book was mentioned in passing during a meeting I had a while ago about client on boarding. I decided I better read it and I am so glad I did.
The naked method is something we can all implement in our jobs, businesses, and even daily life.

Thumbing, hitching, hitching hiking.
This books takes an analytical look into why hitchhiking became so popular and why it‘s popularity diminished. It makes me want to time travel to the heyday of hitchhiking

This marks the 11th book I‘ve read this year. At this rate, I‘ll far surpass my goal of 20.
Unspeakable Acts is a collection of 13 true crime essays touching on everything from Bundy, mass shootings, to the more nuanced essays of culture and justice. Every essay will leave you thinking, the impact felt long after you shut the book.
#truecrime #essays #unspeakableacts
Why are we so obsessed with true crime?
This book takes a look at modern true crime reports that changed genre.
I‘m excited to start it!

Virginia Hall. This fearless woman paved the way in the intelligence field for not only women but disabled people.
This book tells the struggles she went through, the amazing work she did in France during WWII, and seeks to give her some of the credit she so much deserves.

This book was incredibly interesting.
I do think the title is misplaced; it features Ness‘ hunt for the Butcher, but the book focuses on Ness‘ life after Chicago and the work he did in Cleveland.
Ness had a modern idea of what policy should be and his aspirations are what we should seek police to be today.
#Historical #Criminology #EliotNess
Read. This. Book.
The horrors these young women went through, the blatant disregard for human life the companies showed, how long it took for the public and medical community to accept and acknowledge what was happening - it‘s astounding. I cannot believe I had never learned about these events.

I really don‘t know what to rate this book.
The story is interesting; they put a lot of research and work into it, and eventually figure out who the man from the train might have been.
On the other hand, it isn‘t my favorite writing style, and with so many murders mentioned, it‘s really hard to keep track of who is who.
#historical #murder #serialkiller
I started a new book.
The story is interesting. The writing, and the way it‘s written, is a bit confusing and all around not my favorite.
This book takes a deep dive into the unique Netflix culture. I‘d recommend this book to business owners and creative professionals.
I would give this a 10/5.
This book is absolutely terrifying and gripping. It‘s flabbergasting that this is a true story. That something this horrible happened a little less than 40 years ago.
I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
