If there is one show I can binge watch for days it’s Law and Order. Sure the crime parts and police work are always exciting but for me it’s the order side of things that always get me.

Court room dramas are captivating for me. I was a pre law major when I started college and growing up it was my dream to become a lawyer and I would have had I not found something else that I loved just as much.

But I still get that courtroom itch from time to time and when I do I try to do the next best thing and read a courtroom drama or thriller.

by The Lit Bitch3 Comments on Review: Bronte’s Mistress by Finola Austin

I have been looking forward to this book all summer long. It has been on my radar since the spring and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and start reading.

I absolutely love the Brontes and a book like this just sounded so incredible! Not to mention that cover is totally giving me all the heart eyes. What I was most excited for in this novel was that it would explore the story of the Bronte’s brother rather than the famous and talented sisters.

It screamed new and exciting for me and since this is the author’s debut novel, it was just begging to be read and loved by audiences. Continue reading “Review: Bronte’s Mistress by Finola Austin” →
