Review: Love Poems for Anxious People by John Kenney

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Love Poems for Anxious People by John Kenney

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” →

Special Feature: Exile Music by Jennifer Steil

If you are in any way a fan of historical fiction, you need this book on your radar! It’s already being met with rave reviews and takes us from the music rooms of Vienna to the unknown country of Bolivia during WWII.

May people know the story of many Jews who went into hiding during WWII and perhaps were smuggled out of the country to places like England or even the United States, but I can’t think of a single book that explores the role that Central and South American played in the war for Jewish exiles.

Which is precisely why this book sounds so amazing and new! It’s out now and you definitely want to snag yourself a copy of this one as I am sure a lot of people will be talking about this one in the coming months! Continue reading “Special Feature: Exile Music by Jennifer Steil” →

Review: Beyond the Ghetto Gates by Michelle Cameron

Recently I binge read the Sebastian St Cyr mystery series and while I was reading that series, this publishing house contacted me and said if I loved books set in the Napoleonic Wars, then this might be a book that I would be interested in.

I confess, I was intrigued. I don’t in fact know much about the Napoleonic as it isn’t my speciality, but while reading the Sebastian St Cyr novels, I found that there was a lot of this era that sounded ripe for reading and researching. So when I was approached about reading this one, it most certainly caught my eye.

I love when publishing houses take some time to find out what I have been reading lately and why so when I was asked to read this one, the publisher pointed out that I had mentioned that I wanted to know more about this time period and that I was Catholic and this would be a very interesting book for me, so I let myself be sold on it.
