On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader. For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.
Happy Friday everyone! This week I'm spotlighting one of my PopCulture Readathon books, An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Honestly, all I needed to hear to make me want to read this was the comparison to Ruth Ware and Riley Sager.
Beginning:
You're Invited: Seeking women aged 18 to 32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality conducted by a preeminent NYC psychiatrist. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed. Call for more details.
56:
She doesn't glance in any of the windows. Unlike the people around her, she isn't on a cell phone or listening to music or distracted by her surroundings.
Have you read this book? Are you taking part in this readathon? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
