My coworker was my secret Santa and got me this book!!Perfect! It's been on my TBR for months!
What did you guys think of this book?
pickAn absolutely brilliant and essential corrective to the sensational, misogynistic narratives that surround Jack the Ripper and his victims. Rubenhold pieces together historical scraps to show us the possible stories of these five women and casts serious doubts on the "fact" that they were prostitutes. By reviewing this assumption she brilliantly illustrates the experiences of women and how their histories can be warped and misconstrued ⬇️
pickPowerful (and surreal) memoir about resisting hate. It‘s horrible particularly today that a book about the kkk feels relevant to my life in 2019 but it does. Maybe the film felt like a more complex story with more layers, but i can‘t hold it against it he truth for not being like the film.

My current read because if I read an article about a mysterious happening on the internet then I want to know everything about that. 👀 Also, this is a very interesting book and it looks thoroughly researched so far. Though Tricky doesn‘t seem so interested in it by the way he fell asleep on my feet. 🤓

I am halfway through The White Devil‘s Daughters. It‘s a detailed look at slavery in San Francisco and the women who fought it. The traumatic histories are told with compassion and with an eye towards the larger history of the period starting in roughly 1874 when the Occidental Mission Home on the edge of San Francisco‘s Chinatown provided refuge, shelter, and a home for the many young women desperate to escape brothels and slavery.
I said I was going to do my #LibFaves19 list here on Litsy too but I‘m a few days behind. Day 2 was my #9 pick published in 2019. Parkland by Dave Cullen. #librariansoflitsy
My #SantaThing package came today. Thank you to my Secret Santa for these great choices. Unfortunately, the gift card from Amazon says @michelynn2016 and that tag doesn‘t come up in a Litsy search😕
pickReads like fiction! But all events reported happened! What a thriller
pickLike the weather today, this book was dark and dreary. A true crime book that is hard to believe - why didn't they just stand up to her??
I had never heard of this case before. It was interesting and the story was well-written. That being said, I am glad I'm finished with it!
