It’s been another week of global tragedy and weird weather. My family is currently in New Zealand, waiting for Cyclone Gabrielle to hit. I’m the only member of my family who couldn’t make it over for my niece’s wedding, so I’m stuck here in South Africa watching the storm bulletins and biting my nails. Hopefully, the storm will have passed, and everything will be cleaned up in time, so my niece can have the beautiful wedding she deserves.
This week’s Weird Shit episode is about the American serial killer Velma Barfield, who was the first woman to be executed by lethal injection.
What do you think of the judge’s reaction to the Professor’s attempt at getting Velma a commutation to life imprisonment?
I’ve also got a wide selection of books for your reading pleasure this week—everything from terrifying freebies, magical kingdoms on sale, and a Kindle Vella to a review copy. I hope you enjoy them all.
