Before the notoriety of John (Revé) Walsh & ‘America‘s Most Wanted‘, there was Stan & Julie Patz.
Etan‘s story will stay with me for a very, very long time. I‘ll be placing this on my permanent shelf? I highly recommend this read.
For everyone on here waiting for library holds from Libby or in person at your local library if you‘re checking out physical books, this blessing is for you.
I‘m not sure how this #TrueCrime book first came to my attention but it‘s impeccably researched with the author using her personal connections to the case to give a deeper perspective into Polly‘s case. Cross captures the terror of a young girl taken from a sleepover in her home—the mistreatment of the young witnesses as well as the investigation, & eventual legacy Polly has left behind in terms of laws, protocols & procedures. Sad but riveting.
It's a weirdly chilly day for August! I've got a fuzzy blanket, a hot cuppa, and a stack of books to rotate through this morning.
Last night, some friends and I went to see Rainbow Kitten Surprise. They were sooo good live, I'm still dancing just thinking about their set. 💃
An incredibly compelling, frustrating, important, and infuriating read that truly has everything. Playboy founder being a force for good in the world, cops being cops, Chicago, dozens of women doing the world work without proper credit, and all the trauma that you might expect to find and some you wouldn‘t.

I had a hard time getting into this. I kept thinking of Just Mercy, which is an incredible read and focuses on one main case. Each story here was mind-bogglingly infuriating, but started to run together for me. I should‘ve just read one story each day; should‘ve dipped in and out. My focus was off. I do think I‘d like a full book on a couple of the cases. A good nonfiction #bookclub pick regardless of my experience.
I thought I‘d reviewed this 😔 I finished multiple books at a time and was trying to review them all and forgot some along the way, I guess. This one is a hard one to review which might be a reason as well. But Columbine was a really interesting and gripping read, but a heartbreaking one. It still left me wondering and still wanting answers. I can only imagine what the parents and those who lost loved ones feel.

Starting this one on audio 🎧 I‘m not very familiar with this case.
