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” →

Review: The Ingredients of You and Me (Hopeless Romantics #3) by Nina Bocci

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The Ingredients of You and Me (Hopeless Romantics #3) by Nina Bocci

Full confession, I am a sucker for cake and this cover was too good to pass up. I could almost smell the amazing-ness from the picture alone. I also love romantic books and right now I will take all the feel good comfort food—I mean books—that I can get!

I didn’t know that this book was part of a series, which of course I haven’t read the series, but it sounded like it would be a book I could read as a standalone with only a few characters from previous books making a few appearances. Which from what I gather from reading it, is entirely the case because I didn’t have any trouble jumping into this one.

Lately I have also really been digging the rom-coms and this book sounded like just the ticket to keep with my reading theme of late—so I baked a cake and sat down to enjoy this one. Continue reading “Review: The Ingredients of You and Me (Hopeless Romantics #3) by Nina Bocci” →

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature and Excerpt: The Secrets of Love Story Bridge by Phaedra Patrick

Who here needs a little romance in their lives right about now? Even if your life is full of romance and love, can’t there always be just a little more? I for one love romance and this book sounds like it is full of romance not to mention that it will most likely provide a pleasurable and happy escape from reality right now.

I am thrilled that I also get to bring you all a little sneak peak today with an excerpt from this novel and boy does it sound great!

What I liked most about this book was the premise. Have you ever seen a padlock on a bridge and wondered what its story was? When I visited Prague a few years ago, there is a whole bridge dedicated just to these padlocks. My husband and I had no idea what they were about until we asked and we thought it sounded so romantic and I love that that is the premise of this story!
