Over Memorial Day weekend, I went to my family's house and my dad handed me a stack of super rad vintage true crime novels.

In the collection of books was his annotated copies of about the Hillside Strangler, Bundy, Blind Hunter and a bunch of others.

It's called I Remember You.

It's like a ghost story slash true crimey who done it, but fucking ghosty ghost times for sure.

It's called I Remember You. Yeah, it's like, it's good.

It's beautifully read and beautifully written and so spooky.

This couple buys this decrepit old house on a Netherlands island and has to redo it, but it's fucking haunted as shit.

which was 'A Fool There Was'.

Yeah, I love it.

It's a lot like Twilight.

and he also wrote the book 'Weird Virginia'

And Chicago historian and architecture expert named Devereux Bowley Jr. describes Grace Abbott homes directly in his 1978 book on Chicago public housing, the poor house saying, 'more than any project built in Chicago to that date, which was nineteen fifty five, the overall feeling of Abbott homes is forbidding and the human scale completely lost.'

If you want to know more about life in in these projects, there are two books that Steve Bougiere recommends. One's called High Rise Stories, a collection of interviews from former project residents and another one by an author named Alex Kotlowitz. That's from 1992. And it's called There Are No Children Here, an account of life in the Horner homes.

In her book, Just for the Love of It, Kathy O'Dowd writes, quote, 'I had never encountered anything like this. I had past bodies. I had had friends not come back, but I had never watched anyone die, nor had I had to decide to leave them.

And I loved my my lovely friend Jamie Filippini...and she just sent me this book and she's like, I got it. And I'm like, wait, I got this weird book. And then she texted me and she's like, I just finished it. I think you're going to like it.

It's a teenage girl who is who's changing over from being kind of an innocent only child where her two parents, like it's just this family that she is regular. And she goes through an adolescence thing.

But it's kind of that thing of like as you grow up as a girl and you get an idea in your head about yourself and then you start acting based on this truth that you've made up about yourself.

Is it current day? Yes, I believe so. Or ish.

I'm reading a similar book about a young woman, a growing young woman who's coming into herself. What's it called? OK, it's called The Book of Longings and it's by Sue Monk Kid K.I.D., who I mentioned before, beautiful poetic writer.

She wrote The Invention of Wings and the Secret Life of Bees. So this one is about a young woman coming into her adulthood. But it takes place in the first century in Israel.

Oh, and she's and she's going to be like fucking given away into marriage. But she's so smart and worldly and like learning about God. She's Jewish. And this is a spoiler, but not really because it's what it's about. Meet cute. She meets a boy who's like under her in class, like in her class ranking. But he is an outcast from his town of Nazareth where he's from. They they fucking have a meet cute and fall in love. And his name is Jesus.

It's so I was not expecting it because I was like, I'm just going to not even read that. I'm just going to listen to it because I love her. Right. Sue Monk Kid's writing. And then I was like, hold on. His mother's name is Mary. Hold on. Like I didn't figure it out. That is the ultimate. Oh, beautiful.

And I you know, I'm not. It was it's really lovely and like heartfelt.

She wrote The Invention of Wings and the Secret Life of Bees.

We've all watched sideways. We know the fuck with our friend, Paul Giamatti, friend of the family.

It's called Say Sexy, Don't Get Murdered. You may have heard of that title.

This it feels like feels like home. And also it feels like we're finally delivering this baby that we've been pregnant with for like two years.

All Blood Runs Red. One of many, by the way, there's probably about five out there.

She gave me this beautiful set of books as a as a housewarming gift that was I think you probably have seen them at my house. They're from the 50s and it's Murders from Los Angeles, Murders from Chicago, Murders from remember that. Did you ever see that?

I kind of I didn't have a book around and I needed like actual book to fall asleep with. Yeah, I can't I can't do audio because then I have a very strange dream. So I pulled this book off the shelf.

I was like, why am I not actually reading these? I'm just using them as like decoration. I have a hundred of those. Yeah. So I pulled down the Los Angeles one and it's so good. It's just true crime stories.

She gave me this beautiful set of books as a as a housewarming gift that was I think you probably have seen them at my house. They're from the 50s and it's Murders from Los Angeles, Murders from Chicago, Murders from remember that. Did you ever see that?

This is an excerpt from the 1972 biography, The Black Swallow of Death, the incredible story of Eugene Jacques Ballard, the world's first black fighter pilot by PJ Carousel and James Ryan. And it's about the day that Mr. Ballard died.

Ruel totally wrote a book about it and I reviewed it for my seventh grade book project.

Yeah, this is supposed to be epic. Oh, I can I do a corrections corner?

I'm reading the Tao of Pooh of Winnie the Pooh.

She wrote a memoir in 1990 called 'Be My Baby'.

And she actually he was really controlling. And it turns out John Lennon fell in love with her and offered for the Ronettes to go on tour with the Beatles. And she chose Phil Spector over that.

So that's how devoted she was to him.

So in 'Be My Baby', her memoir, she details how Phil Spector psychologically tortures her and purposely ruins her career by not allowing her to perform again.
