Last year I read Someone We Know when it first came out and today it’s out in paperback! So to celebrate, I am re-sharing my review today!

If you love suspense and thriller novels, Lapena is a great choice. I have only read a couple of her books but I have enjoyed each of them. I am looking forward to her upcoming novels as well!

Be sure to pop pick up a copy of the paperback release today and see what I thought of this book when I originally read it! It held my interest and kept me guessing for sure! Continue reading “Re-Share Review: Someone We Know by Shari Lapena” →

Review: The Library of Legends by Janie Chang

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: The Library of Legends by Janie Chang

This book was on my radar well before it was a Book of the Month pick for April. In fact I have been looking forward to reading this book for months! This cover is absolutely stunning and this book sounded like a new and exciting piece of a little known time in history.

I haven’t read a lot of Asian historical fiction beyond some of the more well known titles like Memoirs of Geisha and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.

European historical fiction is inundated with novels all of which are always trying to distinguish themselves as something new, but often they are all very similar which is why this book sounded like the exact opposite. I was eager to dive in and see if I loved it or not. Continue reading “Review: The Library of Legends by Janie Chang” →

I absolutely loved John Kenney’s book of poems, Love Poems for Married People. There was so much truth in those poems and I laughed several times.

His follow up book of poems, Love Poems for People with Children was also funny, but the Married People book is still my absolute favorite. I have gifted his books of poems multiple times and I am sure I will be gifting this one to friends in the future.

When I saw that this book was coming out, I knew it would be a great read. He writes with such raw realism and during this crazy uncertain time, what could possibly be better than a bit of satire about anxiety? Continue reading “Review: Love Poems for Anxious People by John Kenney” →
