American Girl | 
I found this to be intriguing, sometimes a little creepy even, unpredictable, and definitely a little weird at times. Also, I believe the nearly excellent narration made this somewhat slow-burning mystery overall more palatable. If I had read this instead, I don't think I could've been as engaged with the way the mystery was fed to me by the tiny, tiny spoonful.
#13books13weeks complete! I made a huge dent in my #mountTBRchallenge. My favourite read was Mrs. Kimble. Thank you to @TheHeartlandBookFairy for hosting.
I'm in a reading slump!!!
panThank goodness this book is over! I‘m ready to move on to more awesome books!
pickThis book would make a great Netflix limited series. Page-turner about an American exchange student who emerges from the woods only to be hit by a car and wakes from her coma with no memory of what has happened to her. Then, it‘s discovered that her host family has disappeared. Just the kind of book Lily and I enjoy on a cold winter day.
so-soDefinitely creepy - but somewhat predictable with a flat ending. A story about a foreign exchange student who definitely lands with the wrong family.
bailedI hate bailing on books - I keep thinking that I might miss something great if I just keep reading, so I don't abandon many. But I just can't go on with this one 😖
pickI really enjoyed listening to this thriller taking town in small town France! The narrators did a great job capturing the voices of the characters!! I was pleasantly surprised with the twists & turns of events both in the present and flashback storylines. I'm eager to read or listen to the next book of Kate Horsley. As always, more in-depth review on #Goodreads. I like #playaways!
Picked up my library hold and two others just HAD to come home with me. I'm now super excited to read The American Girl which is a new to me title!

I'm almost done Chamber of Secrets & will start Prisoner of Azkaban right away. I'm listening to Amy Schumer's book in the car now. Trying to finish The Fifth Letter before its due date & same for Ms Marvel- I've had that laying around for a while. And the playaway with the headphones is The American Girl & I love listening to them when around the house or waiting somewhere or even if I'm eating solo!
pickI enjoyed this book, there were times I thought I knew how it would end but I must say I was only half right.

I'm settling in with brunch and my first book for #readathon day - The American Girl by Kate Horsley. It's told from alternating perspectives - Quinn, the American Girl, and Molly, the journalist investigating her stay in France and the disappearance of her host family. So far it's a page-turner!
Happy Read-a-Thon day! What is everyone else reading?
Finishing up "The American Girl" on a peaceful Sunday morning. I love reading outside and this is my favorite spot, at least for a few months a year!
"Thing is...I don't remember her. I don't remember any of the things they're telling me".
Should've posted this yesterday for day 3 #readandeat but the boyfriend had to pick me some books to read, always easier if he picks so it doesn't make my brain hurt to try and decide between all the lovely books!
"What she can't remember, they'll never forget." I can get behind that. I love surprise #bookmail!
pickI love ALL these books but fun fact, I read The American Girl in one day!! It has all the makings for a perfect thriller and takes place in France - even better. This novel is perfect for fans of What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan and The Girl on The Train by Paula Hawkins! 👍🏼👍🏼
pickDark & twisty physiological thriller, set in France. I liked the dual narratives of reporter Molly & Quinn, the American exchange student w/ amnesia whose POV is told via her blog posts (past) & video-log (present). The twists & who/what to believe kept me guessing & it's a good summer read. Paired w/ a breakfast of Baguette, topped with Brie and Blueberry-Lavender Chia Seed Jam & French Roast for my blog review + recipe-link to post in comments.
Did not have it in me to hit the grocery store on my way home tonight so random fresh & frozen veggie bits, leftover rice, & eggs morphed into curried fried rice & dinner on the ottoman with this mystery-thriller set in France. It's drawing me in... 'The American Girl' stumbling out bloodied from the woods and into the media spotlight, just woke up from her coma... Cue suspenseful background music...🙀
pickTHE AMERICAN GIRL is a deliciously creepy thriller about an exchange student living in France who is wrapped up in a gruesome disappearance. This one had my heart racing and asking myself "who can I trust!?!?" Seriously!
My August #TBR pile so far....Includes a couple that are on my Kindle, a few for review/book tour, two for book clubs & two still waiting/held over from my 'guilt stack' (sent for review or I won) that I'm hoping to get to this month. But I am sure this stack will change as my mood & the month does... & I'm still waiting for late-arriving book mail & my July BOM box... 😬#bookphotochallenge #augustofpages #augusttbr #augustphotochallenge
After a lazy afternoon on the couch with The Memory Book, I'm starting The American Girl tonight. Hoping for a suspenseful read.
