I read The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitsaei. The book wasn't my favorite, but the actual heist-y parts were fun.
Grief Is for People by Sloane CrosleyReally good nonfiction book... the author is in the publishing world and within a short period of time suffered the theft of some family heirloom jewelry and the suicide of a close friend and confidante. The story is touching but told without ever getting too heavy and with an honest recollection of how two different types of loss ran parallel in her life and the way in which she grieved for both.
I read The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
.I wanted to like this more than I did, but I didn't. I won't be reading the rest of the series.
If you want a lighter, fun read try Flying Solo by Linda Holmes. They literally joke in the book that they're "pulling a heist."https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...
I'm reading "American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst" by Jeffrey Toobin. I think it works.
I read Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley.A young Anishinaabe girl learns that there are ancestor remains being held by a university, and they are refusing to give them back. Perry decides that she, her sister and their friends will steal them back.
It was a very slow moving book, for me. There was no real action until the last 80 or so pages. I enjoy the author's writing though. This was both an entertaining and informative read.
I read The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit. It's non-fiction. It's thought there were > 1000 heists.
