Welcome to Litsy!

A 3-month-old is the sole survivor of an airplane crash, but two families fight over her identity. Lots going on in this novel and an interesting plot which kept me guessing for most of the story. A little unbelievable at times, but still worth the read.

Saturday morning vibes 💚

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

It was decent! A quick read at night when I couldn‘t sleep. I wouldn‘t recommend it but I didn‘t hate it.

Alla fin fine non mi è piaciuto molto. troppo tirato per lunghe con colpi di scena troppo eclatanti e pagine che ho trovato utili solo per allungare la storia.. Un sei scarso; e dire che era partito così bene !!!

Molto avvincente da subito e sembra già tutto chiaro ma con #Bussi le cose si capovolgono in un attimo. 😊

This was definitely a #slowburn #falltreasures @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

This book is quite interesting and once you start it could be hard to put the book down
Its about finding the right identity of 3 month old baby girl who survived a plane crash when there was another 3 month old girl present in the same plane
u might think that the author could have shortened some parts but everything fits well when the book finishes
I'd suggest that you read it if you havent read a good book for some time now

Does anyone else have a dirty little ereader stealer? Thought I could rip through the rest of After the Crash but Dieter seems to think that the better idea is a) laying on my kobo
b) receiving pets

Reading struggles. In the time it took me to write this post she is completely asleep 😐

I mentioned some time ago that book buying was on hold because Lucy needed dental work. They ended up having to remove all but 8 of her teeth and she had to have 2 procedures because they missed roots on the first go round 😥 home recovering and pretty mad at us but I really think she is feeling better! Cuddles with my girl!

Nicely written, kept me guessing throughout with a good ending. Would possibly have rated it 4* if I wasn‘t in such a reading funk lately!

I'm not happy when I work out how a book is going to finish!! That's what happened with this one. Decent story and pace, just a tad predictable.

What a nice gift, @cathysaid ! I knew it was coming because of your USPS fun, but I am still surprised and delighted. This is such a nice thing for you to do. I really enjoyed this round of #LMPBC, and this certainly puts the icing on the cake. Thank you. ☺️

The premise was great, a plane crashes with 2 babies aboard and 1 survives, but which one? The twists were good, events and conversations that seemed unimportant ended up revealing clues later on. It just got a little too crazy and ridiculous for me to believe. A couple fewer nutty twists toward the end would have made it a pick.

Great plot, but way too long, Despite all the twists and turns I had worked out many of the interlocking mysteries and figured out the likely ending. I struggled to make myself finish it. Translated from the French edition, it needed some serious editing.

Won‘t be in til late tonight so pic pinched off Amazon! Have this at home - a quick, easy thriller. Not brilliant, not awful.

Spending My Day Reading Michel Bussi‘s After The Crash (Un avion sans elle) 📖 #afterthecrash #unavionsanselle #cr #currentlyreading #book #books #booknerd #bookworm #bookporn #ilovebooks #booklover #bookaddict #bookstagram #instabooks #lovebooks #lovetoread #read #reading #readingday #readaddict #readingtime #michelbussi

I haven't posted since before the hurricane because my cell service has been terrible. So, 25 days later, here is part of my hurricane read-a-thon pile. I had a few others including Kindle, audio, and one I already passed along. Thanks to all who were keeping tabs on us during and after the storm! 💞

December 1980, a plane crashes and only one person survives, an infant. Is she 3 month old Lyse-Rose or 3 month old Emilie? This flashes back to the months following the crash to present day--1998 18 years later. The drama that lead a court to decide which infant survived and which died I the crash and which family got to take home the baby. This was a little slow but it did have a nice twist.

One of the best books I've read this year! Enjoyed the story being told by multiple narrators and couldn't stop reading it!! #finishedinaday #bestthriller

💕 Never give up if you want to live 💕

Just started this! #augustreads #backtocrime

SO well done! Full of surprises and a very quick read. Thanks, @LiteraryinLititz !

New books o purchased today, I'm so excited to read after the crash! #newbooks #afterthecrash #michelbussi #anneberry #linwoodbarclay #lisabrackman

Thoroughly enjoyed this book the story just grew and grew. The more you read the deep the author sucked you in. Looking forward to reading more by this great storyteller

4/5

Tea ☕️ and a read 📚 with my sister! We're both back home visiting our parents this week!

Read this in literally one sitting (that included reading at the dinner table) at the behest of @LiteraryinLititz . I was hooked! A top notch thriller.

This book was unputdownable! I just had to know what would happen next in this mystery about the identity of a girl who was the lone survivor of a plane crash 18 years ago. Basically, there were 2 infants on said plane and the families are both claiming her. But there is so much more than that! I don't want to give any hints, but the twists were amazing and the pacing was great. I immediately told @wanderer15 to read it so we could discuss!!

#litsypartyofone I've been doing some reading tonight, but it's been punctuated by my boyfriend feeling really sick, so I've been trying to help him get comfortable. Before that started, though, this book was SUPER absorbing. I'm 115 pages in and have completely bought into the high stakes story. I definitely want to keep reading this when things settle down.

Just a small part of my unread books. The map on the top shelf is a map of Three Pines. And Sadness is there to remind me how sad some of my books are for having been neglected for so long. #shelfie #riotgrams

Meh. 😐 An interesting premise where a newborn is the sole survivor of a plane crash. A battle between two families follows, both claiming the baby. Mystery surrounds the resulting investigation. However, it never fully grabbed my attention. I like crime novels to be fast paced with constant action or full of psychological twists and turns. This had neither; there were interesting developments but more often, the story dragged. #crime #fiction

#TBRtemptation post! Wow! Check this premise out: December 1980, there's 1 survivor of a plane crash, a 3-month old girl. 2 families claim her, 1 rich & 1 poor. 18 years later the case is unsolved, which prompts an investigator to take his own life. Right before he does, he uncovers a major secret...then is killed before he can do anything about it. Hello!!! Sign me up!!! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

I Started the audio book this afternoon.

#kindledeals

This one was recommended to me, and since I already had it in my TBR pile I shifted it to the top. On page 53, glad I did.

This book was a definite page turner from the very start! In December 1980 a plane crashes, and the only survivor is a three month old baby girl. The problem: there were two babies on the plane, and no one knows which survived: Emilie or Lyse-Rose. The story takes place 18 years later. I found it to be beautifully written. Some parts bugged me a little, and I did kind of guess the ending, though not exact. Definitely worth a read!

It was madness... I couldn't have known, then, that what I was actually building was the foundations of my own neurosis.

As the Vitrals had never protested against life, life had never bothered to correct the imbalance that afforded them so much misery.

I started reading this as I needed a page-turner after I DNFed Middlesex (sorry guys 😳) and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! There are quite a few twists I just did not see coming and I felt the pacing was really good. There was one minor thing that annoyed me regarding Lylie and why she was in Paris/Marc's reaction when he found out, but other than that it's a fab read 😀

I'm giving this a "like," even though I think I've decided this genre is not for me. The writing was great, the plot was riveting... The ending left me cold, but it was well done (this is no Maestra). I think I'm just not a mystery/thriller girl.

Fun Photo Friday: The sleeping cat was initially alarmed when I placed the book on him, but he immediately went back to sleep.

To him, the bar was an island, and he had been here since his ship sank, surviving on liquor and conversations with other shipwreck victims: swapping tales of storms and messages in bottles #readingoutdoors

So this is the way to end chapter 1! "He had done it! The solution to the mystery had been there on the front page of the newspaper, from the very beginning... The solution was so obvious: it jumped out at you but on one condition. The newspaper had to be looked at eighteen years later." #dragonfly

The best book I've read in a long while! Full of twists and turns. Not to mention heart-wrenching. I fell in love with Marc. ❤️❤️
