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” →

Special Feature: Well-Behaved Indian Women by Saumya Dave

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: Well-Behaved Indian Women by Saumya Dave

This book caught my eye almost immediately. Not just because of the bright eye catching cover, but because I love mother/daughter stories and this one sounded like a new fresh perspective from debut author Saumya Dave.

This is a story about reinvention and finding your dreams with generational perspective. It sounds so incredible and I only regret that I couldn’t fit it on my review schedule for this summer.

So instead I am bringing you guys a little info on this one and hope you will pick it up and check it out. Early reviewers are raving about this one as are top notch authors. It’s one you will want on your radar, check out all the details below! Continue reading “Special Feature: Well-Behaved Indian Women by Saumya Dave” →

Review: Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein

At first glance this book wasn’t eye catching to me. I wasn’t really feeling the basic cover and there was nothing that stood out to me as a reader.

As I said the cover was just ok for me and the title wasn’t really unique but as I have said a million times before, I always read every pitch that comes across my desk because you just can’t judge a book by it’s cover, even though I think most of us are guilty of doing just that.

If I had gone just on first impression alone, I would have missed a really great rom-com! I loved the premise of this book and was thrilled with it cover to cover! Continue reading “Review: Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein” →

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” →
