Welcome to Litsy!

I hardly ever quit books, especially when I‘m a quarter of the way through, but this serial killer dude is just too awful for me and after this week in the News, I cannot read about someone treating women like this and maintain my thin grasp on hope for humanity. Very very well done, wrong subject matter for me.

Clark is excellent at characterisation, I really enjoyed her exploration of character and the context of their lives. Being contemporary and dealing with social media was really interesting and handled very well. I was very much immersed in the story for the majority of the book. I didn't enjoy the meta commentary but could ignore it mostly. More literary than mystery. Bright Young Women and Notes on an Execution adjacent.

Another one from the TBR shelf ☺️

Pretty nice week of finishing up some novels and starting ones that have been on hold for a while. I am almost halfway finished with Weyward so I will most likely finish it in a few days. I am looking forward to starting some epic poetry with the Aeneid and jumping back into Drizzt or witness for the dead, depending on my mood.

Listen to the audio! Such an emotional roller coaster ride is this woman‘s life. I felt a lot of truth and vulnerability throughout the book and felt connected. I love an audiobook read by the author, especially a memoir. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Indeed!! 🤓

A very interesting and informative true crime read about stalkers. A chilling look into their mindsets and just how dangerous it can be to have one and just how easy it is to be unknowningly stalked. A thought provoking read for everyone. ⭐⭐⭐⭐#victoriaheywood #everymoveyoumake #tea_sipping_bookworm #truecrime #goodreads #getlitsy #thestorygraph #fable

I never know how to rate nonfiction books. I'm hoping this isn't too outdated and accurate enough with the information that was available at the time.

This was really fascinating, overall. The author had written out some questionable opinions, however (I doubt people in the future would laugh at chemotherapy, but I do believe in the distant future there will be better ways to treat diseases and illnesses)

This made me laugh so hard.

But what was really flummoxing the six males around the table were symmetrical marks under the breasts of the three victims shown in the photographs spread out in front of them.

Were they something the killer had done? A signature maybe that investigators could follow ....
Finally...."Jana, what do you think?"

...."it looks to me like these are the marks you get after you've been wearing an underwire bra all day...?
