#LittensDressedInBlood Today's Prompt is Heads Will Roll

I couldn't help picking this book, since the blurb actually promises heads will roll!

This book has no business being as much fun as it was, and it was good, clean fun (except for the beheadings 🤷🏼‍♀️ Colette Iselin heads to France on a school trip, but before she goes she finds a mysterious medallion😯 The trip is not too bad except she is figuring out who her real friends are, smooching boys, and being stalked my a murderous ghost, sometimes in Marie‘s little village at Versailles (pictured above) this #bookspin deserves 👇🏻

I was desperately hoping to finish at least one book this weekend but it‘s hard to find the time sometimes with housework and pets and knitting. But Butcher doesn‘t like to sit outside by himself so problem solved!

Found this at a book sale years ago - lord I miss book sales so much, that‘s a post Covid thing I cannot wait for - and it‘s my #bookspin this month. A little ☕️ and murder 🥰

Even though this story is a bit far-fetched, I found it enjoyable. Colette is on a trip to Paris with some classmates. People are being murdered, beheaded — and she sees the ghost of Marie Antoinette. The queen is taking her rage out on the descendants of those who betrayed her. Pure fluff but very entertaining. 3.5⭐️

I picked this book up at the library on a whim because I‘m headed to France in a few months and want to be transported there now. It‘s not a smartly written YA book, but it is a lot of fun. It definitely gets better at the halfway mark, when the mystery part overpowers the annoying mean girls part. And it did take me to Paris. History, mystery, and Paris = ❤️. “Let them eat cake...and die” goes the blurb on the back of the book 😂😂😂

Found at my local used bookstore, buried in the history/biography section!!! You don‘t even know how long I‘ve been searching for this book!! The owner of the shop at the register laughed when I told him where I found it and said that someone might‘ve put it there to hide it... well sorry, Mr./Ms. Book-hider, it‘s mine now!!! Bwah ha ha!! 🤓😎🤩😍😏🤨

Starting this one again since I noped out of the audiobook after like 5 minutes. Some people need to realize that character voices are not a necessary part of the experience. #marieantoinetteserialkiller #marieantoinette #katiealender #bookstagram #blue #audiobook #chapter1

I haven't read this yet but it was the first thing I could find that fit for #royals. #readjanuary

I started out the #24in48 readathon with this fun thriller. I'm a little more than halfway through and so far it has just the right amount of cheesiness I'd hoped for. As for the 24in48 survey: 1. Reading in AZ, U.S.A, 2. It's my first 24in48 readathon, 3. I heard about this on Litsy, 4. Excited to read Complicit by S. Kuehn, 5. I have 2 cats (Katniss & Cinna) who will be keeping me company during the readathon, 6. I'll be posting here on Litsy!😸

Alright, I think I have my 24in48 TBR pile ready! I know I won't get through all of these books, but I like having options. I'm going with a combination of dark, twisted YA and graphic novels. I'm really excited for this readathon! This is the first time I'm participating.

Wellington and I are sad that this book is finally over!! It was such an amazing book and kept me guessing at every turn! I'm sad it's over and I hope Katie Alender finds some other way to bring Colette into another one of her books.

Love when I find references in books that make me think of something else I love. Nancy Drew, showing up in my books now too!

Love love love when a book starts coming together and you start to realize it! The puzzle is starting to piece together and I am starting to get REALLY excited about this novel!

Not sure how I feel about this book, but I picked it up from my local library and thought I'd give it a try. Fictional history books always interest me so this might be a good book after all.. !
