Do you listen to podcasts?? I've been on a huge true crime podcast kick lately. Some of my favorites are:⁠ 🔪Crime Junkie⁠ 🔪Man in the Window⁠ 🔪Up and Vanished ⁠ 🔪Dirty John⁠ ***⁠ I haven't read many true crime books, but I'd like to change that. Norco '80 by Peter Houlahan has been on my shelf for a few months now and I'm getting excited to read it. ⁠ ***⁠ What other true crime books would you recommend?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #elliesbookshelf #truecrime #truecrimebooks #norco80 #peterhoulahan #counterpointbooks #counterpointpress #truecrimepodcasts #crimejunkie #maninthewindow #upandvanished #dirtyjohn #flatlay #bookflatlay #nonfictionbooks #instabooks #bookmoments #bookrecommendations #booksuggestions #crimereaders #readingislife #readthisbook #timetoread #needtoread #truecrimelover #bookish #greatreads #hardcoverlove #hardcoverbooks #mustread

It's time for my August 2018 book haul check in 📚⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ The good news is that my haul one year ago was only 4 books (pretty small for me!), and the bad news is that I've only read one of these books so far. ⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ By next year hopefully I'll have read the remaining three:⁠⠀ 📖The Air You Breathe by Frances de Pontes Peebles⁠⠀ 📖Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys⁠⠀ 📖Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #elliesbookshelf #bookstack #bookpile #bookhaul #theairyoubreathe #outofotheeasy #whyimnolongertalkingtowhitepeopleaboutrace #theguernseyliteraryandpotatopeelpiesociety #bookofthemonth #bookofthemonthclub #botm #timetoread #needtoread #mustread #toberead #tbr #books #book #bookgram #bookstagram #bookcommunity #reading #ilovebooks #ilovereading #bookstoread #readingislife #readerforlife #readmorebooks #booksbooksbooks #readerforlife
Today I finished My Lovely Wife on audiobook and OMG this book was intense. Everyone has been raving about this one since it was released earlier this year and in my opinion it is worth the hype. This an extremely twisted thriller that kept me captivated, and slightly sick, the entire time. ⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #elliesbookshelf #mylovelywife #samanthadowning #mysterythriller #thrillerbooks #mysterybooks #bookflatlay #berkleypublishers #berkelypub #bookreview #bookishpost #readthisbook #whatiread #booksuggestion #bookrecommendation #timetoread #booksofinstagram #booklife #bibliophile #readingtime #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #thriller #booksofig #readersofinstagram #bookish #booklover #bookworm #fiction #justfinished
I love big books... but they intimidate me. I'm not a quick reader these days so one of these chunkers would take me *forever* to get through. ⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ I'm not entirely sure what happened, I used to read big books all the time and now I hardly ever pick them up. I'm toying with the idea of making 2020 my big book year. If I do that I'll have to set my Goodreads reading challenge to a low number so I can give myself a realistic chance at finishing on time. ***⁠⠀ How many big books do you read a year?⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #elliesbookshelf #fallofgiants #kenfollett #theluminaries #eleanorcatton #insunlightandinshadow #markhelprin #sarum #edwardrutherfurd #bigbooks #ilikebigbooks #ilikebigbooksandicannotlie #goodreads #goodreadsreadingchallenge #bookstack #bookpile #readallthebooks #bookworm #bookish #readinglife #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #bibliophilelife #literaturelover #prettybooks #bookstoread #bookstagrammer #readingaddiction #readingaddict #readersofinsta
Currently Reading: The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ Even though I haven't finished it yet, I highly recommend this book. It's compelling, dark, and creepy and I love it. I think I may have discovered a new favorite genre: Historical Fiction Thrillers.⁠⠀ ***⁠⠀ What are you currently reading?⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #elliesbookshelf #thedollfactory #elizabethmacneal #historicalfiction #historicalfictionthriller #flatlay #currentlyreading #amreading #readthis #readthisbook #timetoread #needtoread #arc #advancedreadercopy #book #bookstagram #bookgram #atriabooks #bookstagrammer #bookaesthetic #bookish #bookishaesthetic #coverlove #igbooks #bookforlife #readerlife #bibliophile #bibliophilelife #totalbooknerd #booktography
