Forgive the bad photo quality - I finished this book in the Colombian jungle!

This was a solid murder mystery. Lots of great descriptions of food. I learned more than I probably wanted to about fishing.

Would recommend!

As a resident of the Bay Area, it was pretty scary to learn about the Golden State Killer, a serial rapist and murder who has been tormenting California for decades and who still hasn‘t been caught. But what makes this true crime novel stand out is how personal the investigation was to the author, who died before she could complete the book. Highly recommend for any true crime fans!

I finished Crazy Rich Asians on my flight to Cartagena, and it was the perfect way to start a vacation. This book is basically like candy - it‘s a fun, easy read, with descriptions of food that made me want to book my next trip to Singapore ASAP.

Margaret Atwood knocks it out of the park every time. Alias Grace is yet another one of her narratives that points out the jarring misogyny all around us - but unlike The Handmaid‘s Tale, it‘s based on a true story. Atwood makes us wonder - why do we, as a society, love to watch a woman suffer? (Luckily, Henry the dog is one of the good guys, and mostly just loves to watch women give him treats.)

Once again, Margaret Atwood hits me right in the feels with her on-point portrayals of sexist men. Almost done with this book, which conveys so many of the same ideas as The Handmaid‘s Tale, but through a completely different narrative.

I devoured this thing in less than 24 hours. My inner film nerd couldn‘t get enough of this Hitchcockian psychological thriller.

My first Litzy post! Pachinko was an excellent intergenerational saga, though some characters were a bit slower to read about than others. Plus, it really made me want some Korean food 🍜
