Re-Post Review: The Lost Queen (The Lost Queen Trilogy #1) by Signe Pike
As we approach the ending of a decade and another year, the one question I get asked is what was your favorite read of 2019? This book, The Lost Queen, I read back in 2018 but it was late 2018 (October) and I feel like it still resonates with me over a year later. I gave it five stars and constantly recommend it to everyone I meet and I also gave it to both my sister and mom for Christmas last year. It was released in paperback in June 2019 so I am still going to count this as a favorite book for 2019 because of the paperback release…..is that…

Review: The Scribe of Siena by Melodie Winawer
This book was marketed to fans of Outlander and I can totally see why. Lady doctor some how time travels back hundreds of years and falls in love. Sounds a lot like Outlander right? If you want to get that basic, then yes it is similar to Outlander, however this book is not Outlander so if you are looking for another book series that’s basically like Outlander, then I suggest looking elsewhere. Now that said, if you liked Outlander this book has similarities that you might find intriguing and interesting so if you like time slip novels then keep reading this review. Accomplished neurosurgeon Beatrice Trovato knows that her deep…

Special Feature: Series Review STARZ OUTLANDER
Dinna fash Outlander and Lit Bitch fans, I am posting my review of the series for you! I toyed with the idea of reviewing each episode in great detail but then decided that a collective review would be better suited to my writing style. So here you have it, after eight weeks I feel as though I have seen enough to write a review of the series. Outlander has hands down been one of the most satisfying book series that I have read. And many of you know that I have hosted the Outlander Reading Challenge for a couple of years now…..though I did take this year off I will be bringing…

Review: Written in My Own Heart’s Blood (Outlander #8) by Diana Gabaldon
Four long years is how long I’ve been waiting for the latest Outlander installment, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood (MOHB). The last book (AEITB), left some MAJOR cliff hangers and I was actually pretty upset about the way AEITB ended for at least a week after finishing it. MOHB picks up right where AEITB ended, literally. I am not going to get too much into the back-story or other books as I am assuming if you are reading this review, you have already read the series up until this point. I will admit, I should have re-read AEITB before I started this one. I was literally so lost for the first…
