Review: The Lost Orphan by Stacey Halls

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: The Lost Orphan by Stacey Halls

I love how books find me. I have been eye balling the book The Foundling on Amazon for months now as well as The Familiars but I just haven’t decided to pull the trigger yet.

The covers are gorgeous and the premise for each book sounds excellent, but I have been trying to be good and not buy so many new books so I decided to hold off on purchasing The Foundling.

Flash forward to March when I was asked to review The Lost Orphan by Stacey Halls. I thought it sounded interesting and said yes, all the while I kept my eye on The Founding oh so longingly. When it came time for me to pick up this book to start reading, the only book that kept coming up was The Foundling. Come to find out the books are one in the same! The Foundling in the UK and The Lost Orphan in the US. I was even more excited to read this book after discovering that I had been longingly eye balling it for months!

Review: Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews

There are a couple of authors that I instantly think of when someone asks me what beach reads I recommend. Mary Kay Andrews is at the top of that list! She has written a ton of books and many of them carry a distinct summer feel. Reading one just puts me in the mood for summer!

This book came out in early May and I was so bummed that I couldn’t read it when it first came out because I definitely needed something warm and sunny to chase the spring rains away!

But I was able to pick it up this month just in time for all the big summer reads and I couldn’t have been happier with this one! Continue reading “Review: Hello, Summer by Mary Kay Andrews” →

If this book cover doesn’t scream summer reading, then I don’t know what does! I love the coconut cocktail glass as a swimming pool and it just looks like the perfect summer read for your beach bag!

I also loved the little tagline in the summery, ‘you can’t put a filter on reality’. It instantly caught my eye and looked like the perfect book for some summer reading.

Today I am thrilled to be bringing you guys a little sneak peak from this lovely book and I sure hope you enjoy it and decide to check the book out! It sounds like such a fun read and I am super excited to read it! Continue reading “Special Feature and Excerpt: She’s Faking It by Kristin Rockaway” →

Review: A Royal Affair (Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery #2) by Allison Montclair

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: A Royal Affair (Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery #2) by Allison Montclair

After reading the first book in this new historical mystery series last year at about this same time, I was eager to read the next installment and see how well the next mystery satisfied.

I remembered really enjoying the relationship between the two main characters, Iris and Gwen. I thought they were funny and paired well together so I was eager to see how that translated in this latest mystery.

The other thing that I thought sounded so much fun was this book was that this time the mystery was to include members of the royal family. Continue reading “Review: A Royal Affair (Sparks & Bainbridge Mystery #2) by Allison Montclair” →
