Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you so much! @Kdgordon88

This was such a generous and beautifully wrapped package!

Excited to hop in to these books and especially excited about these cozy socks and the really really cool spiced tea!

This was a hard read. Violence against children is so difficult and heartbreaking, and Ann Rule has a knack for letting you get attached to victims before they die. It does keep their memories alive and bring justice and humanity to them, but it hurts also. I cannot fathom what this father went through. This was a devastating story.

The Queen of Crime never fails me.

Deborah Green isn't a name I've been familiar with but it always amazes me to read about a woman who murders her children. Obviously suffering from mental illness but I do believe that Green knew exactly what she was doing and why. In Rule's book you get a terrifying account of Green's mental decline and how (I believe) this could have been avoided and her children spared.

This book bothered me. I think because it is a true story. I was so upset by the way Deb acted. It was incomprehensible to me.

This is my first Ann Rule book. I had heard of her before but never read anything. I liked the writing style. It seemed conversational and easy to read. My only complaint was too much time was spent on the lawyers involved in the trial. I didn‘t feel the need for so much personal information.

Currently reading. I read a lot of mystery/thrillers, but somehow knowing this is a true story makes it so much worse.

My TBR for December. Three of these I have started but need to finish. The last one is a NetGalley read.

A really fascinating read and a departure from the usual pattern of true crime. Rules work is thoroughly researched, sensitive and compulsive. #truecrime #annrule

Haunting and horrifying. After finishing this, I spent an hour on Google reading about this case. A quick listen at less than 7 hours 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I was originally going to use this for my #truecrime #pop18 pick but now I'm thinking #bookwithanuglycover since I have another #truecrime in mind!

Starting this on my #audiodrive to work this morning for my #truecrime #pop18 pick!

Great read! So heartbreaking and tragic to think a person could do such heinous things. And to her own children!!! 😢 Beautifully written. Easy to follow the events as described by the author according to her interviews and accounts. Although the author tends to repeat details a bit, it serves as more of a review of facts rather than a nuisance. Definitely recommend this book especially to True Crime fans ❤️

Still working through my True Crime novel. Got some good reading in yesterday. Lap 4 today!

Didn't get as much time in yesterday as I wanted. Still, 2.5hrs isn't bad. Working on my current read now. Begin Lap 3!

So this happened like 1-2 minutes from where I grew up when I was 8 years old. This is my first time hearing about it. It‘s hard to imagine something like this happening at all, let alone near my home. Kansas has some crazy crime. #truecrime #kansas

A localish murder. I love true crime. 🕵️🏻‍♂️📚

Great #littlefreelibrary finds! Putting two of my gently used books in tomorrow 😍🕵🏼‍♀️💚

Read this for the Book Riot challenge- set within 100 miles of my location. (Took place about 10 miles from here.)
