by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: The Forgotten Sister by by Nicola Cornick

If cannot believe that I haven’t read anything by Nicola Cornick before. I have many of her books on my shelf but I haven’t read one of them yet.

She is one of those authors that I keep meaning to read because so many people love her books and I hate missing out on great reads, but for some reason I get distracted by other books and just keep missing hers!

Well today I am thrilled to share a little excerpt from her latest book with you guys today! I am hoping to read this one a little while later this fall, while this little excerpt might only be part of the prologue, it sounds great and I am really excited for another new historical fiction author to check out!

Special Feature and Excerpt: The Gentleman and the Thief (Proper Romance Victorian #2) by Sarah M Eden

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Special Feature and Excerpt: The Gentleman and the Thief (Proper Romance Victorian #2) by Sarah M Eden

I have been in the mood for a proper Victorian romance lately! I mean the last 4-6 weeks all I have been reading are murder mysteries and horror so a romance would be a nice little break.

This romance sounds like it’s going to be charming and fun and today I have a lovely excerpt up on my blog to check out!

After reading this little blurb, I can hardly wait to read this one! Sadly I couldn’t fit it in for the upcoming tour as a review, but I am going to read it all the same and will be posting a review here soon but for now be sure to check out this lovely book!

Special Feature: The Wrong Kind of Woman by Sarah McCraw Crow

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: The Wrong Kind of Woman by Sarah McCraw Crow

I love books about strong women and this book sounds like it’s going to be a big hit for fans of women’s fiction as well as strong female heroines that face their own personal struggles.

I think the 1960s and 70s were such a pivotal time for women and it sounds like this book is going to capitalize on many of the issues of that time period which sounds exciting.

While I could not fit this book on my review schedule for the fall, I am thrilled that I get to bring you guys a little excerpt. I hope you take a look and enjoy this little sneak peak as much as I did. If you are in a book club this one might be a fun one for your book club to discuss!

Review: Carrie by Stephen King

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Carrie by Stephen King

Every year in October my sister and I pick a book (or two) and do a buddy read. The last few years we have read a classic (Frankenstein which we both couldn’t finish) and then last year we read Stephen King’s novel, The Shining.

This year we talked about reading something else but King and ultimately settled on Carrie because it was one of his shorter works and it was his very first novel to be picked up by a publisher.

My book club also selected this one as our October read for many of the same reasons so it was nice to have a couple of opportunities to discuss this one.

Review: The Death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware (Audible Edition)

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware (Audible Edition)

Ruth Ware has been on my radar for quite some time, especially this book. I wanted to read it last year for October but then got on to something else.

I have wanted to pick it up several times this year but I have heard such mixed reviews that I just wasn’t sure which book to pick as my first Ruth Ware experience.

Finally, after much debate, I just decided to go for it and read this book as my first Ruth Ware book since I loved the premise of the summary. It was an interesting read for me and not quite what I was expecting but yet at the same time, exactly what I was expecting if that make sense.
