panI wanted to love this story but soo much of it is so bad lol. Right down to the vaguely racist crap that‘s used in the book. It‘s a shame because I love this movie.

pickLoved this ! Admittedly I watched the movie first, but both were so great. Although it's not my usual genre, this was so action packed and edgy!

If you live in the U.K. this is too good an offer to turn down. The American Assassin, a book in the brilliant Mitch Rapp Series by the late Vince Flynn is available free! Whilst this is one of the latest books he published in the series, chronologically it is the earliest book in the series & would be a great introduction. This is one of my favourite all-time series. If you live outside the U.K. would be worth seeing if it is free.
pickThis was the first spy novel I‘ve ever read and wow did I love it way more than I thought I did! This book had me laughing like a loon in the middle of the street (I listened to it on audible) and gasping during some of the more intense scenes. I‘m almost scared to watch the movie because I loved the book so much
pickIt was a really good book. I loved the movie and absolutely loved the book as well.
pickThis is the first book in the Mitch Rapp series. While it is good, it‘s not nearly as compelling as many of the later stories. The story focuses on Rapp‘s training and his adversarial relationship with Stan Hurley, his instructor. Had I read this first, I probably would have given it a so-so, but since I know what is to come,I‘m giving the author the benefit of the doubt. It‘s a decent thriller but not nearly as good as what is to come.
Sitting under the dryer at their hair salon means a major shift from my audiobook to my printed book. More than halfway through, yay! And it just occurred to me that I'm presently reading two books with 'American' in the title.
pickThis is the first in the Mitch Rapp series. I enjoyed the plot and also how his character was developed. I will definitely check out the remainder of the series- from what I‘ve read in reviews, the books just get better. 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Also I have no idea why I set a reading challenge goal the same year I had baby #2 (in March)- as if these children will give me time to read 😂😭
When your boss is SO EXCITED to lend you his favorite book and you don't have the heart to tell him you have 500 books in your library waiting to be read. Not my typical cup of tea, but here we go.
Book and a beer. Loving this cucumber sour beer! 😍
Starting a new author/series tonight. I have read a lot of good reviews about the Mitch Rapp series- I hope it lives up to the hype!
so-soThis was a read to stretch myself. I will be honest, I enjoy movies like this, but never thought I would enjoy books like this.
And it was not as bad as I thought. It was not my favorite, but I found myself engaged in the story, none the less.
I liked Rapp - his level headed desire to protect and defend our country, liked that he was not in it to kill others, but rather for justice.

CD audio books kill me. I can only listen in the car. So, some days I leave for work early and hang out in the car before heading in for the day... just to listen to another chapter.
Picking this up right now so I can finish it before we see the movie on Friday (aka 5 days from now)

i just started reading american assassin by vince flynn and i'm not that far into it, just a couple chapters, but so far it seems promising. since i didn't get to see the movie due to being sick over the weekend i thought i could go ahead and start reading the book.
books I got today... I may or may not have only picked up American Assassin because Dylan O'Brien was on the cover 😂

this is waaaay out of my comfort zone, but it's been on my TBR for years!!! I'm halfway through it and I'm really enjoying it!
Day 6: #currentread #riotgrams My boss insisted I read this one, and he raved about the series. It's so-so thus far, but I don't think I'll be finishing this series. However, my boss claims he can't put them down. To each their own!🇺🇸
I'm really happy this one finally came in over the holiday break. I've been looking forward to listening to it before the movie comes out. It's so much better now that I can picture Dylan O'Brien in my head the whole time. 😍😍😍 OH And I can count it for my #LitsyAtoZ! #A! We're going by title right? Or is it author??
