#nonfiction2019 #turnedoutunexpectedly. A crazy true story of a criminal genius who made hundreds of millions in an online scheme w/ painkiller med supply, and then he graduated to darker criminal schemes in the underworld of drugs and arms and more. It‘s a complex story with many characters and events, but it‘s a wild ride. There‘s plenty of surprising unexpected things that occur in this one! No spoilers - read it and see!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

AnneFindsJoy Thanks @cinfhen for the REC in this one! I thought it was GREAT! (edited) 5y
Megabooks I‘m reading it right now!! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I just picked this one for May BOTM, based on @Cinfhen ‘s rec. Glad to have yours as well—and the idea for the nonfiction bingo square. I need to get that one covered! 👊🏻📚♥️ 5y
Cinfhen It‘s soooo crazzy!! I‘m glad you liked it @AnneFindsJoy it was a little difficult to keep track of everyone @BarbaraTheBibliophage but once I had ALL the players straight I was good to go!! I still want to read the book you recommended @Megabooks 5y

This book is so good! It‘s about how two former felons built the biggest pill mill in the country, and how it was taken down by the police. Really great narrative #nonfiction and would be a good book for anyone interested in the opiate crisis. Narrator is great if you‘re interested in audio.

#audibook #audible #narrativenonfiction tagging some of my nonfiction buddies!

ChasingOm I found this on my shelf while reorganizing this weekend, lol, so I‘m cracking it once I finish American Overdose. 5y
Cinfhen Thanks for the tag!! Always on the lookout for new NF, especially audio!!! 5y
AnneFindsJoy Ooh yes I‘m definitely stacking this one!!!!! 🙏📚👍🤗 5y

Cinfhen Did u read this one??its a crazzy true life story of the guy who ran and created the largest online pill and medical pharmacy 5y
AnneFindsJoy @Cinfen that story looks crazy! I think I tagged that when I saw you(or another Litten) use it for NF bingo #turnedoutunexpectedly (if I remember correctly) I have a hold placed for it at the library!! Can‘t wait! (edited) 5y
Megabooks @AnneFindsJoy That‘s great! I only have one spot left on my Bingo!! 🍾🥂🎉🎉 5y
Megabooks Have either of you read Dreamland? It‘s really good, too! @Cinfhen @AnneFindsJoy 5y
Cinfhen I can‘t remember what box I used it for @AnneFindsJoy but it‘s a crazzzy story!! Let me know if you get to it!! You too, Meg 😍 5y
Cinfhen I bought it as a #kindledailydeal #DreamLand but haven‘t read it yet 5y
Megabooks @Cinfhen it‘s really good! It covers how the heroin trade has taken OxyContin‘s place. I need to listen to it again. Good audiobook, too! 5y
Oblomov26 Yep this is a fascinating and in many ways a shocking book - shocking that they could operate so openly and flagrantly, but also shocking at how they were shutdown and the implication of this shutdown 5y
Megabooks @Oblomov26 I also found Derek‘s lack of remorse shocking, sort of. And how Cynthia could play so dumb! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for the heads up on this one! I have it saved in Scribd, but haven‘t started it. And thanks for the reminder about The Mastermind also, @Cinfhen . I saw it in BOTM but also just found it in Scribd. I need to read Dreamland also—I have the print and audio! 5y
Megabooks @BarbaraTheBibliophage Great! I hope you enjoy them when you read them! 5y
