"Invisible Darkness; the strange case of Paul Bernado and Karla Homolka"
im already more then halfway through it and i love it! so much info. Scary at times. but these murders happend not to far from where i live, its like a little piece of history.

Currently reading: (Sorry I read a lot at once)
A Simple Favour by Darcey Bell I think - real average wouldn’t recommend just trying to get through it
Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan (third in Crazy Rich Asians series) - totally recommend this series
and Vox by Christina Dalcher - only about 10% though but I’m enjoying it so far!
I have a few books on the go, Which is somewhat confusing... but I'm currently really hung up on a book called, "Pretend I'm Dead" by Jen Beagin.
Definitely is an interesting read and I've caught myself smiling because of how corny but good the book is.
started reading eleanor & park by rainbow powell on the way home yesterday. absolutely loving it so far.
