Devi Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) I've read and enjoyed all three. Have to say the first two were my favorites though. I had my eye on them for awhile, but it was your reviews that made me want to buy them. Edited September 27, 2013 by Devi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devi Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Pretty annoyed at myself lately, my reading is zilch at the moment and I feel awful about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signor Finzione Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Nah, sometimes your brain just needs a bit of a break. Taking a book holiday is better than forcing yourself to read - absence makes the heart grow fonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a book holiday is better than forcing yourself to read - absence makes the heart grow fonder. Hoping so! I want to read, i even get as far as picking up a book/kindle, but then i put it straight back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Devi Thanks for the links . I always like reading about these unsolved crimes. Gives you something to think about . I don't know if you've ever visited this site or not, but it's a whole message board about crimes from all over the world ,some solved ,some never solved . Here's a link to the case you mentioned, and if you are interested, there are hundreds of other true crimes cases on there to read about . Interesting stuff for True Crime Buffs . http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47278 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppyshake Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hoping so! I want to read, i even get as far as picking up a book/kindle, but then i put it straight back down. It's maddening when that happens. It's happened to me recently but I think I'm okay now (I don't like saying I am incase it wanders off again ) Hope you're able to get into your reading soon Deborah Never Have Your Dog Stuffed!! .. what a great title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaliepud Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I bought two kindle books. Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself and Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, both by Alan Alda. I'm currently working my way through the M*A*S*H series on dvd. Up to season 5. I am a HUGE Alan Alda fan and those 2 books were so so funny, the dog stuffing was funny even to me, I can't normally bear to even think of these things. He is a wonderful family man yet extremely intelligent and articulate, he has been involved with science for a long while too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Devi Nice stack of new books to choose from ! I of course noticed the true crime one first . I can even tell who each of the killers are on the front cover, since I've read about them all. Should be some interesting reading in there . Hope you enjoy your new books and are doing well . I think of you often ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Partner bought me some books as a cheer me up thing, I've only got around to posting them now. Hey Devi Looks like Ted Bundy ( right over the letters IA ( in serial) The guy in the right hand corner with the real skinny face, I think was named Richard Ramirez -- SPOOKY DUDE) The one in the center with the pinkish face - Aileen Wuornos(sp) ? -- I know that's spelled wrong ... The wee little one on the right in the brownish picture, I can't tell since I can't see the face well enough .. The lady on the left in the big picture I think her name was MYRA something ,and I think she was a sidekick of another serial killer ( like a Tag-Team Couple) ... I'm thinking they were from the UK ??? That's one I haven't read about ,so I might be totally off on that one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking they were from the UK ??? That's one I haven't read about ,so I might be totally off on that one . I know that face, it's so harrowing, but I wouldn't have remembered the name if you hadn't said Myra. It's Hindley. She gives me the creeps!
