#JealousGuy | I got distracted and forgot to post yesterday‘s prompt. 😕 Here‘s another fantastic Jeff Guinn biography.

I couldn‘t finish this book. Don‘t get me wrong - this is a well written book - but Manson‘s life is disturbing,
devastating, super sad and well this book is absolute despair. I had to stop reading every so often and look up pictures of puppies and bunnies. Maybe if I‘m in a different headspace I may try to finish... but my heart can‘t take this right now.

pickPick Pick Pick! So fascinating to read about Manson‘s life and how/why things turned out the way they did..
The part about Sharon Tate was truely heartbreaking 😓
Looking forward to this one.
Not sure if I should start this before bedtime....
pick“Charlie was booked as “MANSON, CHARLES M., AKA JESUS CHRIST, GOD.”
Another fabulous book from Jeff Guinn! So detailed, yet very readable. The Family is fascinating, but damn, it was all truly insane and absolutely gruesome. If you devoured Helter Skelter, definitely read this one, too, if you haven‘t already. The audio is very well done.
Also, no watches, calendars, eyeglasses ... but PLENTY of LSD, sex, and brainwashing.
There's a 2 for 1 mysteries and thrillers sale happening on Audible this week! I went for true crime and was excited to see this Jeff Guinn on the list 🙌🏽 #audible #audiobooks #truecrime
I‘ve been wanting to read this since finishing Guinn‘s Jim Jones book. Today seems like a good time to start, in light of Manson‘s passing a few hours ago. I very much doubt anyone will miss him. (On a related note: definitely listen to the You Must Remember This podcast series on Manson and Hollywood. Karina Longworth is amazing.)
Two books that I‘ve been hoping to get to in the last couple months, but my husband has been traveling so much and I‘m too chicken to read them when I‘m home alone 😂🙅🏻♀️

pickA really in-depth look at Manson's life - this guy was a real piece of work. I can't believe the influence he had on all these girls. Well-researched and infinitely readable.
I just don't understand how going to pick up 3 holds always turns into a 14 item checkout. I'm hiding the current #libraryhaul in Thing 2's room. She doesn't live here right now anyway....
When the cat's away, the mice will sneak read books in their cubicle. 😂
Can't wait for the next Jeff Guinn on Jim Jones later this year!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A thorough and excellent retelling of the life and times of Charles Manson. There are little frills here, the stories contained within are both chilling and insightful of themselves.
Current nightstand shelfie. Thinking I may start Vinegar Girl. Really enjoying the Manson bio, though.
#librarylove #somethingforsept I am so lucky to live in a city with one of the best libraries in the entire world (it really is!). The Harold Washington Library is a freaking wonderland that I plan entire days around. I used to be lucky enough to live 2 blocks away from it, but now I have to count on an uber trip home so I don't have to haul 15+ books on the el. So much love for this big, beautiful building.
Hooked from the prologue. Dennis Wilson and his famous buddies bring a young Charles Manson to the Whiskey-a-Go-Go. Manson breaks away from the stars and cuts a rug on his own.
pickWith so many false tales and exaggerated stories about Manson out there, it's refreshing to read one that is so meticulously researched. Guinn does a great job of telling the story with historical perspective, really allowing you to see how this happened.
pickThis book delivered so much more than I thought it would! Yeah it tells the story of Manson and his crazy "family," but it also puts the whole thing in fascinating historical context as well. Highly recommend!
