My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
Duel with the devil sounds very interesting, I love true crime, especially 19th century crime. And the rest of your books also seem great, so I hope you ejoy them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week & kind regards,
I always used to think that other families were way more functional than my own, or the one we all grew up in....
ReplyDeletebut then I noticed that whenever I got to really know someone, I would find out the weird that was a part of their lives...
so either every family has a certain degree of disfunction or I attract disfuncitonal people as friends. LOL
Books look interesting - going to take a look at some of them. :)
Have a great week
My Reading Week
