Cool 😊

I’ve just started Murder on Lake Garda by Tom Hindle and was going to suggest that but we’ve just had a crime novel.
So maybe we should go with the next book on my TBR pile…

Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson

I've been meaning to try more Shirley Jackson books so this looks perfect! I've reserved it for when it's returned in October at my library :-)

I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (oh), I am for real
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I apologize a trillion times

I should point out that I am contractually obliged by both the estate of Shirley Jackson and the band Outkast to quote those lyrics every time Shirley Jackson is mentioned on this thread.

I recall the ugly scenes on Pebble Mill At One when Tomasz Schafernacker took exception to those lyrics and had Andre 3000 in a headlock
