A Better Ending: A Brother's Thirty-Year Quest to Uncover the Truth About His Sister's Death — James Whitfield Thomson (audio) -- was kinda sad, a little slow moving with pockets of really interesting investigation. Black, White, Colored: The Hidden Story of an Insurrection, a Family, a Southern Town, and Identity in America — Lauretta Malloy Noble (audio) - super dryyyy after Devil Went Down to Georgia A Devil Went Down to Georgia: Race, Power, Privilege, and the Murder of Lita McClinton - VERY good. Murder mystery in Atlanta.
Last week I read three #nonfiction books. I am so proud of me!
