Review: The Girl from Vichy by Andie Newton

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The Girl from Vichy by Andie Newton

Last year I read Andie Newton’s debut novel, The Girl I Left Behind, and I loved it. After reading that debut, I was so excited to see what she came up with next.

Newton is a strong and rising voice in the historical fiction genre so when I saw this was her next book, I couldn’t wait to check it out! Not only is this cover absolutely stunning, but the summary sounded incredible.

Obviously I am a big fan of historical fiction and I am always looking for a new and exciting author’s to watch and this author is right up there at the top of my up and coming hot authors. Continue reading “Review: The Girl from Vichy by Andie Newton” →

Excerpt: Bronte’s Mistress by Finola Austin

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Excerpt: Bronte’s Mistress by Finola Austin

To say that I am a Bronte fan is the biggest understatement of the year. When I saw that this book was coming out, I couldn’t wait. That feels like a horrible understatement itself but the anticipation was at a fever pitch for me!

The cover is to die for and the premise of this book sounds so promising. I am reading it later this month and will get a review up here once I am done, but for now since the book is releasing this week, I am thrilled to offer you guys a little sneak peak with this lovely excerpt.

If you love the Bronte’s as much as I do, then this is the book you have been waiting for. Don’t wait to get your hands on this one. It’s already getting rave reviews and I just can’t tell you how excited I am for it! Continue reading “Excerpt: Bronte’s Mistress by Finola Austin” →

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Cover Reveal: SURVIVING SAVANNAH by Patti Callahan

I had the pleasure of reading my very first ever Patti Callahan book last year called Becoming Mrs Lewis, I went on to read another of her books and loved both. 

I cannot wait to read this one and if this cover isn’t taking your breath away then I am shocked! I don’t even need to read the book summary to know that I am in love with this book already. That cover is stunning and it sounds like a new and untold story.

Today I have the cover reveal as well as a bit about the book, a Q & A with the author and of course there is a sweepstakes giveaway so don’t miss that! Continue reading “Cover Reveal: SURVIVING SAVANNAH by Patti Callahan” →

Review: Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon (Audible Edition)

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon (Audible Edition)

I’ve seen this book off and on my social media the last couple of months but I wasn’t entirely sure about it. I mean I grew up playing The Oregon Trail game on the computer (best game ever!) and since I live in Oregon I have studies the Oregon Trail extensively and frontier culture especially for my masters.

But for whatever reason this book just didn’t grab me right away when it came out. But after a few dud books I really wanted to read some thing that I was sure would catch my interest and feel different.

I decided to bite the bullet and download the Audible edition as something to listen to while I ran errands. Continue reading “Review: Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon (Audible Edition)” →

Review: The Last Mrs. Summers (Her Royal Spyness #14) by Rhys Bowen

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: The Last Mrs. Summers (Her Royal Spyness #14) by Rhys Bowen

I have been a long time Rhys Bowen fan and I have been trying to get caught up on the Royal Spyness series for the last year.

I have been reading the later mysteries out of order but going back and trying to read the earlier ones so I can have a better appreciation for the characters and their back stories.

I love Georgie and all the quirky characters in this series and when I saw another book was coming out I couldn’t wait to check it out even though I wasn’t entirely caught up with the series over all. Continue reading “Review: The Last Mrs. Summers (Her Royal Spyness #14) by Rhys Bowen” →
