I've been quiet here lately for a myriad of reasons but I'm still escaping into books.

Today my goal is this: just keep breathing. Big breaths to calm my system. Just keep breathing.

October was a good month! All of these were sold reads and most were part of a series.

If only the weather in Oklahoma would reflect that we're getting into November! It's been 90s and 80s-where's my 60s and 70s?

My #bookspin for November, @TheAromaOfBooks!

Library book is for the list of books to read in Libby or the Kindle Unlimited books on my Kindle.

Okay, yes, I'm obsessed with Supernatural. “Monster Movie“ was shot in b/w and a homage to the old monster movies.

And by the way, Dean looks as fantastic in b/w as in color!

This is book 2 in the Laurel Snow mysteries.

As much as I enjoyed this, I can tell you it's not the best mystery ever. It's a popcorn mystery that's good at clearing the palate. Enjoyable and I'll pick up the third book in the series, but not compelling enough to really recommend it.

I suspect my four stars are more enjoying the scenery and location. It's fun. Sometimes that's all you need.

This is me trying to explain the plot of this book 😂

Seriously though, this book has a lot of moving pieces handled deftly by a first time author. If you enjoy Mark Greaney's Grey Man series or similar “dad thrillers“ this would be a great addition to your TBR list!

This also works for #BookSpinBingo for book published pre-2024.

On Halloween, when we were kids, my family would go to my grandma's in a small town. We'd have chili and corn dogs and then go trick or treating.

Afterwards, we would sit down on the carpet and dump out our candy to see what we got. Later it was put in a large yellow container to eat out of-each sibling had their own bowl. Very fond memories.

This was a dark book-Israel Keyes would hit kill kits across the US. He would fly in, rent a car, and pick up his kit and a victim.

Utterly terrifying serial killer.

#wickedwhispers
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
@Eggs

Soscha Was it the FBI or local authorities that arrested & interrogated Keyes? They so dropped that ball. We likely will never know exactly who or where all his victims were disposed. It least ten is the current theory, I think? Reason: he drew the images in his own blood in jail. 2mo
Coffeymuse @Soscha If I remember right, Alaska wanted him and when he crossed state lines they sent the US Marshals after him. The FBI got involved because of the bank robberies and then started trying to backtrack his criminal past. 2mo
Eggs Truth is so much more evil than fiction 😞 2mo
Soscha So little answers with this guy. Can only speculate who all his victims were. 😢 At least some of the LISK victims are getting their names back. (Long Island Serial Killer, Rex Heurermann.) 2mo

Did you know there are 7 body farms in the US? These are acreage that universities own and the archeology students study human decomposition. This knowledge helps forensic anthropologists and crime scene investigators with cases.

Freeman Ranch is one of those body farms and is located in Texas.

Did you know that in the movie “Argo“, Ben Affleck played Tony Mendez?

In real life, Mendez was a master of disguise during his career in the CIA. I just wonder what stories he can't tell because those stories have got to be another blockbuster movie or two!

I came up with the idea to flip my bed and my 2 bookcases. To move the book cases, I need to unload them. What better time to do a purge than when you're already moving them!

My mom asked if I was sick! Just sick of so many books that I don't want to read! What am I thinking!

My sisters, aka Muscles, will be over sometime this weekend to move things with me. Then I have to put all the books I want to keep back on the shelf. Oof.
