Review: Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews

There are a couple of authors that I instantly think of when someone asks me what beach reads I recommend. Mary Kay Andrews is at the top of that list! She has written a ton of books and many of them carry a distinct summer feel. Reading one just puts me in the mood for summer!

This book came out in early May and I was so bummed that I couldn’t read it when it first came out because I definitely needed something warm and sunny to chase the spring rains away!

But I was able to pick it up this month just in time for all the big summer reads and I couldn’t have been happier with this one! Continue reading “Review: Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews” →

If this book cover doesn’t scream summer reading, then I don’t know what does! I love the coconut cocktail glass as a swimming pool and it just looks like the perfect summer read for your beach bag!

I also loved the little tagline in the summery, ‘you can’t put a filter on reality’. It instantly caught my eye and looked like the perfect book for some summer reading.

Today I am thrilled to be bringing you guys a little sneak peak from this lovely book and I sure hope you enjoy it and decide to check the book out! It sounds like such a fun read and I am super excited to read it! Continue reading “Special Feature and Excerpt: She’s Faking It by Kristin Rockaway” →

Review: A Royal Affair (Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery #2) by Allison Montclair

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: A Royal Affair (Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery #2) by Allison Montclair

After reading the first book in this new historical mystery series last year at about this same time, I was eager to read the next installment and see how well the next mystery satisfied.

I remembered really enjoying the relationship between the two main characters, Iris and Gwen. I thought they were funny and paired well together so I was eager to see how that translated in this latest mystery.

The other thing that I thought sounded so much fun was this book was that this time the mystery was to include members of the royal family. Continue reading “Review: A Royal Affair (Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery #2) by Allison Montclair” →

Review: The Twelve Clues of Christmas (Royal Spyness #6) by Rhys Bowen

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Twelve Clues of Christmas (Royal Spyness #6) by Rhys Bowen

Over the last year or so, I have been making a big effort to go back and catch up on some long running historical mystery series that I have loved but haven’t read all the books.

The Royal Spyness books are at the top of that list. I read a few of the later books and then went back and read a few of the first books in the series but then I kind of stalled on the series and moved on to something else.

I meant to pick this one up at Christmas time as this one is obviously set around the holidays, but I didn’t and then I just forgot about it. I needed a pallet cleansing book lately though and I thought this was the ticket to clearing my head after some heavy reading.
