#Bookspin and #Doublespin.... We‘ve spent so many months at the top of the chart, now this month we‘re in the bottom row! I have to finish Fly Girls for #lmpbc—I‘m 40 pages from the end but forgot it at home when I left for my parents‘ while my roof gets redone. Then I will tackle these and the next LMPBC book!

This is #thestory of Nancy Rudolph, the “jezebel of W Va,” who was accused of assisting her brother in law with infanticide.

I don‘t remember reading this one besides the fact that I loved it. #lilithjuly
