I worked with Monica at the Post various years ago and she always had interesting articles — so I’m not surprised that this one worked on some levels. It’s a crazy crime that I hadn’t know about since I moved away — but it sounds like a doozy. thx for the word on it.

In reply to Annie. It was great, but if you're only going to do one nonfiction this summer, I vote for Daring to Drive by Manal al-Sharif. On audio it was amazing!

In reply to renee. Thanks, Renee. I'm still playing with the format a little. Some of what I wanted to do doesn't translate well on WP, so I've had to adjust.

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. Knowing the part of the country where the fires were going on would make this even more fascinating!

I love the cover so much! But I don’t think I’m ready yet for another nonfiction… Although I’ll keep this in mind for the future, as the blurb is intriguing!

This is on my tbr! I’m interested in the psychology and science behind pyromania, that sounds like a unique spin on the story. Love your new review format Susie!

Glad this one turned around for you! And I found the historical bits about the Eastern Shore fascinating. She definitely got the community vibe right and, though I’ve been going there for about 10 years now, I didn’t know some of the history.
