Friday Finds #59

Friday Finds is a book meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Friday Finds is a chance to share and show off the books you discovered during the week and would like to add to your reading list...

Or a place to simply feature the books you've actually purchased throughout the week and have added to your to be read pile!

This past weekend, my hubby and I visited downtown Pleasanton, California for the first time. While we were perusing the main drag, we visited an indie bookstore! While we were there, I purchased a copy of Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender. I can't remember where I first heard about this novel, but it sounds intriguing!! Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer is a young adult novel and I like the book cover, title and the plot summary.

Here's a blurb for Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer from the Goodreads site:

Colette Iselin is excited to go to Paris on a class trip. She’ll get to soak up the beauty and culture, and maybe even learn something about her family’s French roots. 

But a series of gruesome murders are taking place across the city, putting everyone on edge. And as she tours museums and palaces, Colette keeps seeing a strange vision: a pale woman in a ball gown and powdered wig, who looks suspiciously like Marie Antoinette. 

Colette knows her popular, status-obsessed friends won’t believe her, so she seeks out the help of a charming French boy. Together, they uncover a shocking secret involving a dark, hidden history. When Colette realizes she herself may hold the key to the mystery, her own life is suddenly in danger . . . 

Acclaimed author Katie Alender brings heart-stopping suspense to this story of revenge, betrayal, intrigue — and one killer queen.

Until my next post, happy reading!!
