4.75⭐
•This book explores the nature of sociopathy and the moral complexities surrounding the act of killing. It challenges your understanding of sociopaths and their motivations, asking provocative questions about justification and morality. But it does it entertainingly, putting a unique spin on a typical thriller and it leaves you plenty to contemplate.
•Allyson Ryan‘s narration was very well done…she really made this character come to life.

I‘m in a cozy mystery mood. A young Cuban American mother reluctantly moves to the affluent Miami suburbs to be closer to her in laws. And you guessed it - gets tangled in a murder investigation. What I enjoyed was the peak into Cuban American culture and food.

I recently (finally) started watching Dexter: New Blood, which is a solid continuation after a couple supremely disappointing seasons of the original run. I remember enjoying the first book, but having no urge to continue the series.

PaperbackPirate I'm about to start the final season of Dexter! 2mo

Bookwomble I loved the Dexter TV show, and like you read the first novel and felt that was enough. 2mo

“While we ate, Mami sat as far from us as she could. Omar couldn‘t get off work, I kept slurring, even after Leidy kicked and kicked my shin under the table each time I forced out the excuse. Dante crawled around on the floor next to her, moving from cousin to cousin, begging to be lifted. I kicked Leidy back and said it anyway - Next year, you‘ll see - to Neyda, to people who‘d been whispering about my mom‘s outburst, her door-slamming . . .”

More #audiostitching while listening to Ruby's wild story. She stands accused of murdering the husband she adored which is ironic given that she's gotten away with three actual murders. I was so conflicted! I wanted her to be exonerated, as she was innocent of the murder she was accused of. But but but, there were those other murders. 😏 This was fun.

bookandbedandtea @dabbe Good guess! You're close - it is a Christmas gnome for my mama 🎄 5mo
dabbe @bookandbedandtea I love the red! I used to cross-stitch, but now my eyes can't take it anymore--even with a magnifying glass! 😂 5mo

bookandbedandtea @dabbe My eyes are not too thrilled with stitching anymore either but I'm not ready to give up yet. 😭 At least the days are still long right now, it's harder for me in the winter when there's zero natural light in the evening. 5mo
dabbe @bookandbedandtea Well, it's beautiful, and your stitches are PERFECT. Please post when you finish. 🩵💙🩵 5mo
bookandbedandtea @dabbe I will but it's going to take a few days longer than it should have. I sat down to stitch after dinner and realized I used the wrong color for the darker red so I've spent this evening ripping it all out! 😭😭😭 5mo
dabbe @bookandbedandtea Oh no! 😱 5mo

These are the most satisfying short stories I have ever read.

KathyWheeler I bought this book when I saw her a few years ago; I need to actually read it. 5mo
Nebklvr @KathyWheeler Her writing is tremendous. I have loved some of her novels but I usually don‘t like short stories so that was a nice surprise. 5mo

Audiobook pick: This is my second book from this author and I'm officially a fan. He is just really funny. The good thing about being late to the party in an author's popularity, is he has a lot of books out there. His books seem like they would translate well to movies and they are full of action and snarky/absurd humor.

KathyWheeler I always liked his essays. My favorite was years ago when he did a “bad song” survey, asking people to tell him what they thought were the worst songs ever. He turned that into a really short book: 7mo
EmberIvyRose @KathyWheeler he's definitely a talented writer! 7mo
