Books again!

Next on the Completed Book List: All Other Nights and People Love Dead Jews, both by Dara Horn, two wildly different types of book, and I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara, which is also a very different type of book.

Cut for lots of words and spoilers, discussion of slavery, also politics, the Holocaust, antisemitism, and serial killings/sexual violence. Sorry. )

Books!

Just finished two good but very different books - I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy and When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb.

Thoughts (not especially coherent) under the cut! Content warnings for discussion of child abuse and eating disorders and also spoilers. )
