Broken--Karin Slaughter

If you are all looking for a little something deadly this week then you will want to check out this book. It's not an all out blood bath, but it's a thriller for sure. 

Karin Slaughter (with a name like that how can you go wrong?) is very good at confusing you without really confusing you. This mystery thriller kept me guessing right up until the very end.

It's about some murders that take place in a small town and the Georgia Bureau of Investigations is asked to step in. No worries, there's not too much forensic stuff that goes over your head and irritate you, but there is enough of it to make it interesting.

She writes for real people, not just ones with PhDs. Although I'm sure a doctor would still really like this.

Have a good weekend :)

Terry Fox: His Story--Leslie Scrivener

I’ve never really read anything about Terry Fox before, so I’m not really sure why I was drawn to this book. I was always really “meh” about Terry Fox, I knew that he was a national treasure, a hero, an amputee with a heart of gold. 

I never had an interest in him before and one day I decided that I should probably brush up on some Canadian history.

Terry Fox is supremely badass! I can barely get off the couch to answer the door and he ran across Canada with one leg. I’m so embarrassed in myself and so amazed by him at the same time.

I definitely recommend this book, not only does it give you a good sense of what happened on Terry’s Marathon of Hope, but it actually lets you in on how he really was. I always thought he was some sort of golden boy where nothing bothered him and he was happily just running for cancer. 

That dude was in PAIN! And he was nice and humble for sure, but when he was pissed he’d lash out like a regular person.

This curly haired son of a bitch just stole my heart.

Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang--Chelsea Handler

Branching out into her general life now Chelsea talks about how she got to where she is. 

(A hit late night tv show hostess and number one best selling author)

No worries, she still talks about her sex life.

Again, if you are looking for a laugh, then read her books, she’s amazingly down to earth and brash.

My Horizontal Life--Chelsea Handler

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but I have an affinity for dirty birds. 

And her sex stories are hysterical! I don’t even think she’s a whore, that’s how awesome these stories are. I want to pat her on the back for her insane awesomeness.

I’m a huge Chelsea Handler fan, she’s foul mouthed, up front and doesn’t take anyone’s crap. And this just shows it in print!

I suggest this to anyone who needs a tremendous laugh and wants to be shocked a little. I love her.

Female Serial Killers: How and Why Women Become Monsters--Peter Vronksy

The fact that I read this freaks out my friends and family, I’m pretty sure they hid the knives and only ate and drank things that they made themselves for a month after I read this.

If you would like the bejeesus scared out of you by stories of women who killed their families, lovers, husbands, patients, or babysitting charges, then have at it!

This book petrified me for about three weeks. I’m pretty sure I was even looking at my dog like she was a serial killer.

This book features women like Aileen Wuornos and Karla Holmolka. So be prepared to be freaked out and not trust the women in your life for a few weeks.

The Bedwetter--Sarah Silverman

This girl is nuts, but in a very endearing way. I don’t know what it is about her, but she’s so cute even when she’s talking about farts.

She talks about the childhood traumas of growing up a monkey, a Jewish girl, and the humiliations of her life that led her to being one of the most well known female comedians of our time.
