In Light of All Darkness: Inside the Polly Klaas Kidnapping and the Search for America's Child | Kim Cross

My next #auldlangspine pick intersects with my favorite podcast #MyFavoriteMurder as host Karen Kilgariff (and Petaluma native) mentioned reading this on a somewhat recent episode.

Kristy_K, monalyisha

ElizaMarie Ooo I am a fellow #Murderino (although I really haven't listened in forever); but, they opened me up to other books. I am stacking this one! 10mo

JackOBotts @ElizaMarie yes, a lot of strong book recs coming from MFM, for sure 10mo

Kristy_K This one focuses more on the science than the crime, but I was still hooked. Hope you find it as fascinating as I did! 10mo

Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, and Madness, or My Life as a Fabulous Ronette | Ronnie Spector, Vince Waldron

This jumped onto my TBR after it was mentioned on #MyFavoriteMurder (a recent listen but an old episode)…so sad that we lost Ronnie in January 2022. My first exposure to The Ronettes was the opening credits of Dirty Dancing, with which 5-year-old me was *obsessed* (though clearly so much nuance of the plot flew right over my head). 💜 Rest easy, Ronnie. 💜

Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead | Bren� Brown

#September2021

#MyFavoriteMurder has talked about this book for years! I had always “meant“ to read it but never got to it. I am so glad I did. I feel like its one that I should/would revisit to remind myself of some of these principles

The Radium Girls: They paid with their lives. Their final fight was for justice. | Kate Moore

i just typed up this huge thing about how this book is awesome and these young women were just bad ass little ladies trying to get some money and shimmer ✨ and that corporate greed killed them and couldn‘t even pay all their damn medical bills.. this was much more eloquent and grammatically correct the first time around 🤦‍♀️#theradiumgirls #myfavoritemurder

marleed It‘s an incredible NF story. My heart breaks for those women. 4y

Flowers in the Attic | Virginia Andrews

Happy V.C. Andrews Day! Flowers In The Attic was first published on this day in 1979, forty years ago! I'll admit, I first heard about this one on the #MyFavoriteMurder podcast, but it would seem that most booklovers/crime junkies got their start with it, smuggled copies from the shelves of their parents or older siblings... I haven't given it a go yet. Should I? 😅 #SSDGM

Caroline2 I remember reading this as a teenager and it blew my mind!!! 🤯 not sure what I‘d think about it now though! 🤔 5y

BookwormM I also read as a teenager and loved it scared to revisit in case it doesn‘t hold up 5y

Bookwormjillk I read it Asa teenager too, but like others I‘m not sure how it would hold up now. 5y

CoffeeCatsBooks I also read this a teen and plowed through all the books she had written. 5y

Texreader This book (and I read all the sequels) has definitely stayed with me in the decades since reading it. Definitely unforgettable 5y

MrsMalaprop Me too @caroline2 @bookwormm @Bookwormjillk @coffeecatsbooks @texreader Reckon I was about 13 when I read this & the rest of the series. So risqué & in hindsight quite inappropriate. Definitely would not want to read them now, but had quite an impact on teenage me! ? 5y

Texreader @MrsMalaprop Same! 5y

cherinium I had the same experience. Read all the VC Andrews books during my teen years. I couldn't get enough of them then. This is by far the best one, though. I think it would be worth checking out. After reading this series, the others are rather formulaic. 5y

JulAnna I am the same as many others here-I read this as a teenager (many years ago and probably way too young), and it has stuck with me through the years. 5y

Stay Sexy & Don�t Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide | Karen Kilgariff, Georgia Hardstark

pick

Okay so this isn‘t actually a book about murders (well, there‘s two in there but they‘re not the main point). However, it does have some great life advice from two women who have lived through some *stuff*. I really liked the advice they gave and the personal stories. There are definitely some quotes that will stick with me forever, so thank you Karen and Georgia. And as always STAY SEXY, AND DON‘T! GET! MURDERED!!

Stay Sexy & Don�t Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide | Karen Kilgariff, Georgia Hardstark

“When running late, “it‘s OK.” When I have a million things to do and not enough time to do it, “it‘s OK.” When I get stuck in a fantasy about plane crashes or normal girls, “it‘s OK.” It‘s my mantra when I need to override the voice that tells me that nothing I do is OK.”

“No matter how far into something you are, how many times you‘ve agreed and moved forward, you can always decide to turn back. It‘s often not easy or comfortable, but you get to choose.”
