Good to know!

[Fishface]

As the New Year closes in we are up to almost 14,000 books on the TC shelves.

[Fishface]

Helen Betty Osborne and The Troubles in Ireland now have their own shelves.

[Fishface]

I came across a book about Martin Dumollard in English so I gave him a shelf that has both the French and English books on him.

CONGRATULATION TO ALL That is a ton of books!!!

[Damien]

Hi Fishface, what's the name of that book? I'm just finished the Killer of Little Shepherds which is about the Joseph Vacher murders. it's about 30 years after M Dumollard.

I can't remember, but it's on our Martin Dumollard shelf! EDIT: It's called Crimson Petticoats: The Betrayal, Brutality and Bloodshed behind the French Maid Massacres.

Reading The Forever Witness: How Genetic Genealogy Solved a Cold Case Double Murder about the murders of Jay Cook and Tanya Cuylenborg. The case sounds familiar and I think I've read about it before. Does anyone know of another book about this case?

I never even knew there was one!!! Adding to the shelves RIGHT NOW! They have been oft-mentioned in the TC Anniversaries thread, so that could be why this is ringing a bell with you.

This book just came out in October and I was lucky enough to find it in the new section of the library.

[Fishface]

Dick Turpin and Belle Starr now have their own shelves.

[Fishface]

The Turpin family has a shelf now, too, since I just discovered that Louise Turpin's sister wrote a memoir.

[Becky]

Hello everyone! I’m new to Goodreads.. my daughter convinced me to try it. I love true crime so I thought I’d check out this group 😄

Welcome!!! Read anything good lately that we might be able to add to our voluminous TC bookshelves?

[Fishface]

I just discovered John Stonehouse, an official in the British government who faked his own death to evade accountability for his misconduct. He now has his own shelf. The Official Misconduct shelf is prospering at the moment, for those interested in that sort of crime...

Ok, so this whole shelf thing confuses me. Does this group have its own shelves? And if so, how do I access them? I swear, I hate not understanding things lol

Don't feel bad; the site is huge and constantly being changed without warning. If you look towards the upper right on this page you will see a green link that says Bookshelf. Click on that and it takes you to our TC library. The sub-shelves are another long list of green links along the L side of that page. Feel free to add any books you want but the title you want may already be here. Type the title into the little search box at the top of the list of shelves and a list of choices will come up. Most of the ones already on our shelves will be blurred out so you know you don't have to add those again. Sometimes a book is already on our shelves but it shows up bright and clear anyway. That means there are multiple editions of that book and the edition you're looking at is not the one we have shelved. Confusing, I know lol

[Fishface]

I just added a John Stonehouse shelf.

[Fishface]

I added a separate shelf for Prince Eddy and another one for Prince Andrew. Rule TC, Britannia!

Wait, that's a Pokémon?

Yes a rather (in my opinion) useless one. But it evolves into a very dangerous one. I have some in my game, all named after me. :D

I just stumbled across a reference to a Thomas Wainewright, described as a man of letters and a forger. Immediately found 3 books about him indicating that he was also a multiple murderer. He has his own shelf now.. .

[Lady ♥ Belleza, Gif Princesa]

I have a list of books for the published in 2023 folder but ..... I just found out Goodreads has a cap on how many posts a person is allowed to make. Supposedly to prevent spam. UGH. It even applies to Mods. That means it will take me about a week to get them all on.

[Fishface]

Bel's 2023 additions have put us over 14,000 books in our TC library!

Could you list them all in one post so we could get a start looking for them?

[Lady ♥ Belleza, Gif Princesa]

Koren wrote: "Could you list them all in one post so we could get a start looking for them?"

A lot of them haven't been released yet. I'll concentrate on posting in date order.

But that is GENIUS!

[Fishface]

I have been posting new releases for 2023! yay exciting! But no then I SAW so many people copying the nnswerwd!"

Wait. Copying the what?

[Lady ♥ Belleza, Gif Princesa]

Just found out my niece has cancer

[Christine]

I’m very sorry that your niece has cancer Bella

Christine wrote: "I’m very sorry that your niece has cancer Bella"

That's very sad.

[Fishface]

Just discovered a Civil War serial killer, or possibly terrorist, named Champ Ferguson. GR has 4 books on him so he has his own shelf now.

[Bill]

Here is one of the books on Champ.

I am sorry to hear your niece has cancer Bella and I hope it has been caught right away.

And let me add I hope it's one of the straightforward ones to cure...

[Fishface]

I couldn't find Bel's list of new releases so here's a much smaller one I came across:

Bloodbath Nation
Rikers: An Oral History
The Riders Come Out at Night: Brutality, Corruption, and Cover-up in Oakland
Children of the State: Stories of Survival and Hope in the Juvenile Justice System

[Fishface]

Frank Lucas, a major drug trafficker, and Edmund Godfrey, who was murdered under very unclear circumstances years and years ago, now have their own shelves. So do the Berrigan brothers, whom you may remember from my raving about The Trial of the Catonsville Nine, as a Berrigan brother also turned up as part of the Harrisburg Seven in Friendly Fire and they turn out to have at least 4 books about them.

As a defiant Catholic, I consider the Berrigan brothers to be heroes. I will seek out the book.

I found it to be a unique experience!

[Fishface]

I found several books (already!) on Ahmaud Arbery, so he now has his own shelf.

Thanks

Smiles are hard to come by when you're reading TC, but I got one just now when I was continuing to read Golden Boy: A Murder Among the Manhattan Elite over lunch and learned that one of the officers investigating the crime is named Geraldo Rivera. That poor guy, going through life with a name like that!

[Fishface]

Francois Villon and Jonathan Wild now have theur own shelves.

[Fishface]

Got back into reading The Burn Farm this morning and I'm starting to wonder whether the author is using phony names for some of these people in the story. There is an investigator in the case named Mudgett and a neighbor named Sutcliffe! Seems beyond coincidence...

[Lady ♥ Belleza, Gif Princesa]

Watching a docu about Green River Killer and Dave Reichert is about to make me cry!
