I am so excited to read I’ll Be Gone in the Dark; I’m on hold at the library, but I may not be able to wait much longer!!

That true crime list is excellent! I think Diving for Starfish sounds really interesting, and Patriot Number One was a really good read.

I’ve read Devil in the White City and The Poisoner’s Handbook, as well as I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, and enjoyed them both, so I’d be inclined to check out their recommendations 🙂

I’ve added a link to my review of Ruby Wax’s Mindfulness for the Frazzled even though I didn’t rate it highly, because I’d be really interested in other people’s thoughts who’ve read the book – I’ve had lots of comments on the review but mostly I think from people reacting to my thoughts.

I’m afraid I’ve not read it to comment more knowledgeably, but I’ll definitely check out your review 🙂

I hadn’t heard of I’ll Be Gone In The Dark until this week, when I was listening to a “For Real’ podcast episode. It certainly sounds interesting.

It was creepy, but incredibly engaging! I really liked it 🙂

Aw, yay for Roxane Gay! Very very well deserved, as are all the honors she ever receives. <3
