Ann Rule - Eat, Tan, Read

L is for ….

L is for …. Lily

🐢 Lily, the beautiful Brazilian Cherry Head Redfoot Tortoise is enjoying her photo shoot with a yummy piece of Lettuce, straight from the garden.

I had no idea I had this many L books! I see that “Last” and “Love” are extremely popular title starters.

Lord of the Flies is a classic for a reason! Such an unfiltered glimpse into the human psyche when left to its own devises. I read this book for the first time in school and just reread it again 2 years ago. If you havent read it since school either, I highly suggest you add it to your TBRR – To Be ReRead pile.

👠 Lust Killer – One of my favorite Ann Rule books! It might be weird calling a book on a serial killer a favorite but not for me. I am a true crime fanatic and it fills the majority of my life. I am drawn to Ann Rule’s cases from the Pacific Northwest because it’s my home. Well technically, I live in the Inland Northwest but we all like to consider it the PNW. Anyway, this is one that true crime fans should check out, Jerry Brudos was one twisted psychopath.

The Life of David Gale, this was an incredible book and the movie is pretty much word for word so you can choose either option. College Professor David Gale is an advocate for the abolishment for the death penalty. He is found guilty of the rape and murder of his best friend but has always stood by his claim of innocence. A week before his execution date he agrees to do a series of interviews with journalist Bitsy Bloom.

Some how March is over already. I hope you all had a better reading month than I did. I was only able to finish 3, and no 5 🌟 for the 2nd month in a row.

As most of us have been ordered to Stay Home and Stay Safe, I was hoping to be able to use that as an opportunity to get some much needed reading done. But that is not what I was able to do, clearly. I already work from home so that hasn’t changed. I was more worried about how my family was doing with everything going on. So I spent a lot more time on the phone talking and facetimeing with them instead.

The puppy is still requiring a lot of time and attention as expected and we also rescued two juvenile redfoot tortoises (we already had 3, so up to 5 now 😳). I am hoping that soon our lives will return to normal a bit, for my sanity’s sake.

I am very thankful to James R. Hemmings and C.A.Wittman forproviding me with copies of their books to read and review.
