True Crime Reads for Spooky Season 👻🔪
Who doesn’t like real life spooky stuff!! True crime is one of my favorite genres. I’m always down to read about some bad dude and their crimes. Dark and twisty is my jam and I’m not afraid to show it. Fun fact, people have been fascinated by true crime even before the Jack the Ripper killings.

❄️ I love reading when it’s cold and I have nowhere to go. I love reading classics, horrors, and thrillers. People say fall is spooky season, but winter definitely takes the cake. Bare trees, the chill in the air, the chance of getting snowed in. 💭 Have you read any of these books? What would you
