Review: Miss Austen by Gill Hornby

by The Lit Bitch4 Comments on Review: Miss Austen by Gill Hornby

As a Jane Austen fan, this was a must read for me. While it is a fictionalized account of Cassandra Austen’s life, it was one that I was eager to read and enjoy.

This book came in at just under 300 pages (about 290) and to be honest, I was worried that because of the length, it would only scratch the surface of Cassandra’s story.

But I have never been more pleased to be wrong in my assumption! This book packed an emotional punch that I wasn’t expecting but it worked so well and I happily passed a few quarantined days reading this book! Continue reading “Review: Miss Austen by Gill Hornby” →

I have only recently discovered author Robyn Carr, but I have loved all of her books that I have read so far.

She is a prolific writer with many books and series under her belt and I am never disappointed when I pick up one of her books. When this book came up, I was thrilled to be able to bring an excerpt to you guys to check out!

The cover is incredibly eye catching and screams spring/summer reading to me. I can almost feel the sun on my skin radiating from this book.After reading this little excerpt, I am even more excited to read it! Continue reading “Special Feature and Excerpt: Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr” →

Review: The Arrangement (The Survivors’ Club #2) by Mary Balogh

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: The Arrangement (The Survivors’ Club #2) by Mary Balogh

As many of you might recall, my mom set me the first book in this series for Valentines Day with the PSA to skip all the sex parts.

Which was entirely unnecessary as the sex was shockingly tame in the first book, though I can’t say that I loved Hugo very much. So when I finished that one, I was not at all surprised when the second book in the series showed up thanks to my mother.

Again, when I opened the box and saw this cover, I had to laugh once more. It screams cliche tacky romance novel. I love romances so much though (tacky cover or not!) and all the reviews I saw for this one said this was their favorite in the series, so I was eager to start it!

Review: The Last Bathing Beauty by Amy Sue Nathan

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Last Bathing Beauty by Amy Sue Nathan

This cover makes me so excited for summer and long walks on the beach. I have had it on my radar for quite some time and when it was picked as the March Amazon First Reads selection, I knew it was going to be a big new release.

I haven’t read anything by this author before but she has written three other well received books and I was excited to give this one a try.

Besides all the hype and the beautiful eye catching cover, this book boasted a sassy heroine and I was most excited to read about her, but beyond that I didn’t really know too much about what this book was about. Continue reading “Review: The Last Bathing Beauty by Amy Sue Nathan” →
