I couldn't list all the ARCs I've downloaded, they are so many. My bad. Enjoy the books you have.
ReplyDeleteI do an entire monthly post about all of my ARCs. https://allthebookblognamesaretaken.blogspot.com/search/label/State%20of%20the%20ARC
DeleteThe Who Ate The First Oyster book would be a fun read. There are so many things I think...who did this first LOL
ReplyDeleteRight?? I like this author a lot. It's a lot more in-depth than I thought it would be, because on the surface it seems very much like pop history. But he gives lots of great info from experts on each topic he discusses.
DeleteOh, 'Whack Job' looks FUN........... [grin]
ReplyDeleteJust 2 (1 of each) from the local Charity shop from me...

Non-Fiction:
There Is Nothing for You Here - Finding Opportunity in the 21st Century by Fiona Hill
It's...fine. I didn't realize it at the time, but I've read the author before. She and her father wrote a book called 'The Man from the Train' and connected several gruesome murders that plagued the US for several years in the early 1900s. Their theory makes sense but the book was so flippant and at times kind of cruel, like they lost the focus, which should have been the victims who were killed in a horrific way. Whole families wiped out by an ax-wielding killer, and no one ever held accountable - whether the murders really were all linked or not. So far the book is about the ax in history as a murder weapon but not just what we think of as 'ax murders'. There's Lizzie Borden of course, but the author also discussed Henry VIII's use of he ax to execute traitors, and such.
DeleteThat sounds..... odd..... [muses]
DeleteIt is, and I am annoyed. How do you write a whole book about ax murders and NOT include the Axeman of New Orleans? It was not what I thought it would be at all and was just...weird.
DeleteI think your hauls are getting much larger, LOL! I hope you enjoy them all! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?! I've been going on binges lately and it is BAD. I have books checked out on my card AND Eleanor's, because mine is maxed out.
DeleteSo many books!! Happy Reading.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been on such a bender the last couple weeks with requesting books and my card is maxed out, and Eleanor's is close to being the same, lol
