This novel was mentioned in a podcast I listen to (any other murderinos out there?) I love this kind of personal perspective. I think most people refuse to acknowledge that, at least on one level, these "monsters" are just regular humans like the rest of us; but that's the part that really fascinates me. We like to think that we would inherently "know" that something is off/wrong and Ann Rule shows us how inaccurate that assumption really is.

Literally just re-downloaded Litsy because I NEED TO TALK ABOUT HOW THIS BOOK RUINED MY LIFE!! Naturally I mean that as a compliment. I have always believed that true art makes you experience an entire spectrum of feelings, including negative ones, and boy does this book give you ALL OF THE FEELS! I read the whole book in one sitting, walked upstairs, put my head in my boyfriend's lap, and sobbed. 1000% recommend reading this one!

Just picked this up today. So far I'm completely addicted! Futuristic + dystopian = count me in!

Tried to read this on several occasions and failed every time. I think perhaps it's just too far out there, even for my eclectic tastes.

#Day8 of #MarchIntoReading - #GuiltyPleasures are my specialty!! There's nothing I love more than an easy read when life (and/or work) gets tough! I read a lot of YA fiction/fantasy (the Night World Series being one of my favourites) and one of my all-time (secret) favourite books is Eat, Pray, Love. Not my typical genre, my mom & grandmother made me see the movie & afterward I read, and fell in love with, the book!

#Day8 of #BookishSpring2017 is #KickassGirls! Two amazing female protagonists from two of my favourite series immediately came to mind: Hermione Granger from Harry Potter and Lila Bard from Shades of Magic. Clever, brave, and unapologetically themselves; these girls are literary role models ❤

I devoured this book in a day and it is so, SO beautiful! A semi-dysfunctional family tries to navigate through life as they grieve the loss of their wife/mother, as told by the youngest daughter Elvis. Moving, poignant, and at times quirky and funny, it brings us on a journey of life, death, grief, and love. I absolutely recommend reading this book!!

#Day7 has apparently been a challenge for me all around! I looked through my bookshelves for a #Lighthouse for #MarchIntoReading to no avail! So instead I give you another book on my ever-lengthening #TBR list!

#Day7 of #BookishSpring2017 is "favourite Colleen Hoover book." Which lead me to googling Colleen Hoover lol. A quick search leads me to believe her books are primarily romance, which is really more my mother's style. So I guess I'll take a pass on this one.

Just finished my last night shift this morning. Taking it easy today because I can feel a nasty cold coming on 😖 this crazy creature is certain she can cuddle and purr me back to health while I read ❤

For a while this book was ... tolerable. But it got progressively weirder and harder to follow. I eventually gave up.

#Day6 of #BookishSpring2017- book and coffee! After finally making it through Glass Sword, I'm not ready to take on King's Cage just yet. So I've decided to move onto this shorter, fun-sounding #MarchTBR with a cup of pumpkin pie coffee :)

#Day6 of #MarchIntoReading - #HappyReads. Any time I feel like things are going wrong in my life, I do two things: I rewatch Dexter and reread Harry Potter voraciously. Hogwarts will always be home ❤

Thanks to a particularly slow night at work, I finally made it through my first March #TBR. I wish I could say I liked this book. I loved Red Queen. I'm terrible at critiquing anything; all I can really say is this book did not hold my attention like the first one did. Besides a short period halfway through, it dragged on for what felt like forever. Hopefully King's Cage is better, because I already bought it 😖

#Day5 of #BookishSpring2017 - book with name in the title. The Ramones is one of my favourite bands; I downloaded a sample of this book and it's definitely on my #TBR list

#Day5 of #MarchIntoReading ... I've been so curious (and slightly jealous) of all the #bookmail I see, so I did some google searching. Originally wanted BotM, alas, I'm Canadian. So I signed up for Read Dog. And this I can definitely #BlameItOnLitsy

#Day4 of #MarchIntoReading - didn't like it, still finished - was a true challenge for me. I honestly don't tend to finish reading books I don't like. My short attention span and desire to read at least 10 other books prevents me from being stubborn enough to suffer lol! So I chose to go with my #CurrentRead, Glass Sword, because I'm struggling but determined to get through it because I already bought the third book in the series!

#Day4 of #BookishSpring2017 forever belongs to the final Harry Potter book. I grew up with the characters in these novels, and even as a child I knew I was a Slytherin and I was so deeply in love with Severus Snape. #UglyCry happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I read his memories. EVERY TIME.

Aaaand #Day3 of #MarchIntoReading - recent non-fiction read. Dr. Goldman is a well renowned physician in Toronto, ON. This book is a real behind-the-scenes look at a busy metro emergency department as well as a wonderful blend of individual patient cases and a discussion of both the science and humanity of medicine.

Better late than never! #Day3 of #BookishSpring2017 - 3 books, 3 different genres. I picked graphic novel, fiction/literature, and psychology/memoir. All fantastic reads :) I had the opportunity to meet Sara Jane Thornton a few years back and she is a truly inspirational woman!

Aaaand #Day2 of #BookishSpring2017 #Chapter2 goes to my beautifully illustrated Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets. Because, really, how cute is Dobby 😍

#Day2 of #MarchIntoReading #JudgedByItsCover goes to this stunning Anne Rice collection 😍

#Day1 of #MarchIntoReading. The best #MarchTBR I could quickly come up with. I'm really more of a "hey, this looks interesting, guess it's my next read" kind of person.

Had to shrink it and add a border in so the M and H didn't get cropped out 😂 decided to have a little fun with #Day1 of #BookishSpring2017

This is slow going 😣 keep hoping it'll hook me like the first, but no such luck so far

Recently ordered King's Cage and decided to re-read the first two books in the series to refresh my memory. Finished Red Queen last night and went on to discover... I've never actually read Glass Sword! This has never happened to me before 😆

This. Book. Brutalized. Me!! In the BEST possible way. It has been a very long time since I was so emotionally invested in any character, let alone all of them!
V. E. Schwab may very well have claimed the title as my new favourite author o.O

😭 it's not often I'm emotionally traumatized by a book

IT'S HERE!!!!!

Just ordered King's Cage, time to re-read the first two while I wait!

Probably my most favourite classic novel (thus far, at least)

JUST finished this. Ends in a most torturous cliffhanger 😱Fortunately the third book is released tomorrow!!! But... what am I going to read until then!?!

This book immediately followed after "Angels Turn Their Backs" as another book I read, and enjoyed, around the same time. Another "to re-read"

For whatever reason, this book popped into my head today to add to the "re-read" list. I read this book as a child, likely the year it came out XD and I remember loving it

Not nearly as good as the first three. It's kind of like the original Star Wars trilogy... everything else is non canon and I don't care what you say to the contrary.

My boyfriend's favourite book. I started to read it once but I'm one of those people that tries to read a dozen books at the same time. Being a Maritimer myself, I do love his description of the pull of the sea. Must give this book another go at some point.

I LOVE Palahniuk but this book killed me inside. I gave it a valiant effort but couldn't make it through. The constant multi-name-dropping per sentence was brutal. Especially when 99% of the names meant nothing to me.

44%?!?!? Are you JOKING?!?! This book is a masterpiece 😍 it was a gift from a friend and I was instantly hooked on Palahniuk's writing.
