13 Minutes | 
pick4✨Another on my TBR for way too long. About a girl who dies for 13 minutes and loses her memory. There is some twisty high school drama that keeps you wondering what really is going on. There is drugs and sex with teens I‘m not comfortable with. Overall, a solid story with a great ending that blew my mind.
pickI like this author a lot and this one didn‘t disappoint! Natasha, the beautiful, popular girl, was dead for 13 minutes. She has amnesia and doesn‘t remember if she fell in the river or was pushed in, nor the events just before the incident. When she starts to expect her 2 closest friends, Natasha turns to her former friend, Becca, to help her unravel the mystery of that horrible night. A very decent YA thriller!

I found the mystery in this novel interesting, though only mildly difficult to solve. However, a lot of the characters made some pretty dumb mistakes which made the story drag on a little. The ending did a pretty good job of making up for some of the slower parts in the middle, though.
pickThis book felt like it was going to be predictable, but it detoured from what I expected and a twist at the end kept it fresh. I enjoyed it, but wasn't overly impressed.
so-soThis was a Three Star book. Just not my cup of tea. If you like One of Us is Lying and Pretty Little Liars than this may be for you.
so-soI read this for a book club. There were some who really enjoyed it and some who really hated it. I was somewhere in the middle. It's hard to describe this book without spoilers. It felt like it was two books and two genres; part YA part adult psychological thriller. That inconsistency didn't work well for me.
Most of the characters are female and none of the characters are particularly likeable.

Lots of self obsessed #YoureSoVain teenagers in the tagged read. But I‘m starting to really enjoy it and am wondering where the heck it‘s going
Went to the driving range with one of my sons and hubby. I get to read :)
Starting this YA from Pinborough
so-soFinished my first book of 2019. I could take it or leave it...okay for a YA but a bit too high school drama for me. Things like this just don‘t REALLY happen, ya know?!
pickA good plot twist that actually works when you think about what happens throughout the book
I shouldn‘t have any trouble finding a comfy place to read 🤣 #readingbuddy #chocolatelab #dogsoflitsy #dozerdog
pickThis was EXCELLENT. Popular girl Tasha is found near death in a river, and secretly reunites with her “uncool” ex-best-friend Becca to find out what happened to her. Sarah Pinborough has gained a new fan with this one. The plot twists were totally unexpected to me, and it was just...great!
So much love to @kellyann28 and @Elma for these Kindle books! It was so very thoughtful of you and I appreciate your kindness. I can‘t wait to read them! ❤️🥰❤️ #kindlitsy
pickI absorbed myself in this book since the night before and finished this morning.
I was a little hesitant to read another book by this author because I didn‘t like Behind Her Eyes but this book was so much better than that one.
The whining teenage girls was a little annoying but that‘s how children are so I tried to remind myself that. The characters are great. The story is a great psychological thriller.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickWhoah. This was way darker and more twisted than I had anticipated- definitely a wild ride! Reminded me of Mean Girls meets Cruel Intentions...but a tad far fetched. I‘d love to met Sarah Pinborough and pick her brain!
Side Note- I always get slightly irritated when YA books casually refer to teen drug and alcohol use. Obviously we know kids are experimenting, but should we make it seem so commonplace?!
Recommend this for older HS+
3.5 🌟
Starting another #YAWednesday pick from @jwashreads ... this one sounds awesome and I LOVED Behind Her Eyes!
Sigh... apparently I need to start getting to the pool at 8am if I want to read in peace and quiet...or I could stop being a brat- but that is significantly less likely 😒😝
Hey #YAWednesday peeps! I had a hard time with this one because I really do not read mysteries and thrillers. I had to go back in my goodreads for a year! From what I understand, her adult thriller, Behind her Eyes, is spectacular! I struggled with the beginning of this one, but the end made up for it!
@TheFunkyBookworm
pickA solid crime story that didn‘t read like the description. I‘m not disappointed in the disparity b/c had it been that, the book would have sucked. It was full of twists and turns, some predictable and some not, and was told through narrative, interviews, and diary entries so that was fun to read. It‘s a YA book and had hallmarks of that but nothing to the point of distraction. It took time to find its groove but worth getting there in the end.
As usual I'm late to the party

I almost missed this! I love you guys!
so-soA full review can be found on my website! Link in bio!
Meh. Not a bad book. Not a great one. Kinda forgettable after you've finished it. But there's hopes for the author as there's obvious promise!
Just tore through this book - has anyone else read it yet? What do you think?

Daughter is in the middle of reading this one.
We didn't need the play. Everyone was already pretending to be someone else.

Looked up from my book.
Book fuel after the longest week in the longest month in the longest year.
current mood: rainy day bliss
hot tea and the start of a new book
Reading: 13 Minutes
Sipping: Date Night Tea (dates and chocolate herbal tea) 📚💛🌧💛☕️
pickA deliciously evil and twisted look at frenemies. Mean Girls meets Heathers. Read it. Rating: 4/5.
It's raining, it's pouring... and the review of 13 Minutes is finally allowed to be up on the blog! Give it a read, at
www.reademandeatblog.wordpress.com
I've been so distracted that it's taken a year and a half (it seems) to finish this. First thing on the docket for the weekend.
I loved Behind Her Eyes and I'm excited to dive back into this...even though there is also an Anthropologie sale calling my name.
pickAhhhhh!!! This book Littens! It was insane! YA like I've never seen it before! I want to shout about this book from the roof tops! But due to the publishers requests, I've had to schedule the review for the blog until September. Boo. This was my very first ARC from netgalley and I absolutely can't wait to dive into the next one!
In closing, it's a crazy ride. You'll love it. It comes out on ***OCTOBER 3RD***
Book mail!!
I love book mail!
Will be published in the US on October 3, 2017
Myst and my very first Netgalley request! Can't wait to review this one for the blog!
pickOh man! 13 Minutes was such an intense ride!! I finished it last night and I honestly can't recommend this book enough. Definitely has a Heathers vibe to it, so if your a fan of the movie/musical you need to add this to your TBR. ************************************
🌟13 Minutes by Sarah Pinborough. ************************************
pickWow ik vond dit boek echt goed! Er zaten een aantal goede twists in! Zeker een aanrader.
pickIkik dacht dat dit boek weinig verrassend was maar het wist mij wel te verassen tegen het einde! Ik schrok ervan hoe gemeen tieners kunnen zijn tegen elkaar en wat ze allemaal belangrijk vinden en hoe de dingen echt zo snel en gemakkelijk uit de hand kunnen lopen.
Ik raad dit boek echt aan. Het is intrigerend, realistisch en geeft een heel leerrijke inkijk in de gevoelens en gedrag van tieners in deze geavanceerde technologische wereld.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ik heb zo wel mijn vermoedens. Ik ben heel erg benieuwd of ze kloppen..
Since I've finished reading Blackwing I've added this book to my #currentlyreading stack since I can't seem to get into Gone Girl at the moment...
This is s sneak peek of sorts of my most recent #bookshop which I haven't yet posted..
This bit from the synopsis is especially interesting:
"Ze zeggen dat je je vrienden dichtbij moet houden en je vijanden nog dichterbij, maar als je een tiener bent, is het moeilijk om ze uit elkaar te houden..."
pick4 sterren. Awesome YA-thriller. Het voelt meteen alsof je in de sfeer van Pretty Little Liars wordt meegevoerd: geheimen, roddels op school en een knappe leraar. Heerlijk om te lezen en méga spannend. Extra leuk is dat je tussendoor sms'jes leest die naar elkaar worden gestuurd.
"We zijn allemaal verschillend, wij beste vriendinnen, maar we zijn allemaal dol op toneelspelen, of het nou op de planken is of in het echt" (p.51)
pickAn interesting read, although, I did guess the outcome quite early on. I enjoyed the YA perspective and the narrator did an awesome job. The bitchiness of teenage girls is quite prominent in the story and certainly accurate, by today's standards.
A gripping murder mystery of fears and manipulation, this story is riddled with #Lies and hidden #Truths. #MayBookFlowers @RealLifeReading
