Death on Ocean Boulevard. A Mini Review.

April 26, 2021 / beckmank / 1 Comment

4/5 Stairs. If you like true crime and have never heard of the tragic (and bizarre) death of Rebecca Zahau, this is a great, well-researched book to dig deeper into the case.

Turbo Twenty-Three. Why am I still reading these?

May 26, 2017May 24, 2017 / beckmank / 5 Comments

2/5 Stairs
My husband asked me why I keep reading (listening to) these books. Honestly, I'm not sure except that this audio book was available when I was at the library.
