Review: Fair as a Star by Mimi Matthews

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Fair as a Star by Mimi Matthews

Mimi Matthews is another author who has been placed firmly on my auto buy/read list! I discovered her by chance and have loved everything she has written! 

When I saw this one was coming out, I was thrilled and looking forward to another delicious Victorian romance full of sweetness, love, and of course chemistry between the two characters.

What I didn’t know until I started reading this one was that it was a novella rather than a full length novel. That said it’s still around the 200 page mark but still shorter than a conventional novel but don’t let the length fool you, there is plenty to enjoy in this one!

Review: Mr. Malcolm’s List by Suzanne Allain

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Mr. Malcolm’s List by Suzanne Allain

When I saw this one on Netgalley, I thought it was eye catching and sounded interesting so I downloaded it. Then I got the pitch for it a couple of weeks later and suddenly I moved it up on my review timeline.

I had already planned to review this one in July but wasn’t planning on reading it until a little closer to the release day, but then all the news started breaking about the upcoming film and I moved this baby right on up!

This upcoming film is going to feature Constance Wu and Sam Heughan along with a number of other diverse cast members and will be releasing in the spring of 2021. Needless to say I was chomping at the bit for this one! Continue reading “Review: Mr. Malcolm’s List by Suzanne Allain” →

Special Feature and Excerpt: Someone’s Listening by Seraphina Nova Glass

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature and Excerpt: Someone’s Listening by Seraphina Nova Glass

I think one of the most unsettling and scary things is stalking. Stalking sends a shiver up my spine like nothing else and this book sounds like it’s going to have an extra added later of creep!

The other thing that makes this book sound terrifying is that the main character wakes up from an accident only to find that your reality has been altered—her finance is gone when she was sure he was in the car with her.

Right away this book sounded so so so creepy. It has been receiving rave reviews and praise with loads of 4 and 5 star reviews. I am so excited to share a little sneak peak of this book with you guys today! Continue reading “Special Feature and Excerpt: Someone’s Listening by Seraphina Nova Glass” →

Review: Paris is Always a Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Paris is Always a Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay

This year has been an incredible year for reading. With the unprecedented COVID situation, I have had a lot of time to get more than some extra reading done.

I have really been loving all the quick romances, women’s fiction, and beach reads. Back in the early spring, my summer calendar was all booked up with upcoming releases, but then many of my July books got their release dates pushed back to the fall leaving July wide open.

I decided not to fill up my July calendar too much and instead just keep with the original reading schedule and maybe add a couple of releases that sounded interesting. Enter this book. I thought this one sounded so cute and a quick read plus PARIS—need I say more? Continue reading “Review: Paris is Always a Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay” →
