The Most Dangerous Animal of All: Searching for my Father....And finding the Zodiac killer. by Gary L Stewart and Susan D Mustafa.
I found this to be very interesting. Gary L Stewart puts forth some very compelling information that could point to his biological father being the Zodiac Killer. I understand that this crime has never been solved but the information included in this book definitely make you think. i do recommend this book for anyone who is interested in True Crime novels

The last book I bought was The 5th Wave. Oddly, this is one of the first books I have ever bought on a whim. I was drawn to the fact that it was a New York Times Bestseller and that it was soon to be a major motion picture. After seeing a preview at the movies for its upcoming release this year I was immediately motivated to start reading. I finished it in a day (which is pretty good considering how long it is!). I would definitely recommend this to any sci-fi fans!

Great book!! I could not believe the ending! Super messed up.

But to answer the question, the last book I purchased was Angel Fire East by Terry Brooks...which I found out I already had soon after. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does that?

I love essential oils! I love that you are reading about using essential oils. I feel like people are just jumping on the bandwagon thinking that these oils will work miracles, but then they don't take the time to learn about using the oils safely and get frustrated when they do not get the results they were hoping for. I hope that you enjoy your EOs as much as I do!
