The Texas 7 by Gary C. King. Surprisingly went through half of it during work today, and I hope to finish it at least by tomorrow. It's the first book I've actually read in a long time since I finished all my classwork this semester, and I've really missed it. I believe this is also my first true crime book I've read ever (or at least in a while, who knows), which I really enjoy as well~

 

I've also yet to finish my Ren and Stimpy book, but I haven't read it in so long that I've forgotten mostly everything ;w; however, after watching some documentaries about the animation studio behind Looney Tunes, I have a better understanding of the cartoons and animators back then that influenced Ren and Stimpy, especially Bob Clampett. I was also happy to see Kricsfalusi talk about him in the Clampett doc, I'd figured he'd be there. xD

Vicious by V. E. Schwab and Evil: The Science Behind Humanity's Dark Side by Julia Shaw. It is fun pairing my villainous fictional reading with nonfiction related musings.
