Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (Audible Edition)

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (Audible Edition)

This book has been all over my social media, especially my Instagram. I even ordered a Book of the Month that I didn’t really want just so I could get this book as an add on when I missed it in December when it was the selection.

My sister also sent me a copy of this book for Valentine’s Day and as soon as I started reading, I downloaded the Audible Edition so I could keep reading even while I was in the car.

The Audible narration is fantastic by the way. Sometimes I find it difficult to read and listen to the same book together but with this one it wasn’t a problem at all. Continue reading “Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (Audible Edition)” →

Review: Duke Darcy’s Castle (Dare to Defy #3) by Syrie James

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Duke Darcy’s Castle (Dare to Defy #3) by Syrie James

I have recently had a lot of luck with historical/Regency romances and when this book came along I was excited to see if my luck would hold!

Admittedly though, this cover didn’t speak to me in any way. In fact it was a little confusing. The pose is a little awkward and a pose of that nature is usually reserved for more saucy romances but in this one, the characters are fully clothed and it made me think more clean romance.

But either way, I thought the summary sounded fun and I especially liked the crumbling castle element so I was excited to check it out and see if it was something that I could fall in love with! Continue reading “Review: Duke Darcy’s Castle (Dare to Defy #3) by Syrie James” →

Review: Mrs Boots (Mrs Boots #1) by Deborah Carr

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: Mrs Boots (Mrs Boots #1) by Deborah Carr

Deborah Carr is an author that only recently popped onto my radar with her book The Poppy Field. When her latest novel came up for review I found myself eager to read it as I hadn’t gotten around to The Poppy Field yet.

I was also intrigued by the fact that this book is told mostly through letters and I love epistolary novels so this book was a no brainer yes for me.

The other thing that drew me to this book was the fact that I knew nothing about this apparently well known women, Florence Boot. Before this book I hadn’t heard of her or the well known—but clearly not to me—Boots chemists. I love learning about new things so I was open to finding out more via this historical fiction novel!

Review: Lakeshire Park by Megan Walker

by The Lit Bitch3 Comments on Review: Lakeshire Park by Megan Walker

I fell head over heels in love with this cover and couldn’t wait to start reading it. The cover reminds me of a Jane Austen novel and the summary boasted a charming and sweet romance—-a tough one to resist for certain!

I picked this one up early one morning and could have easily finished it in one sitting if life hadn’t interfered! As it was, I finished it in two sittings and was scouring the internet looking for more books by this new to me author.

This was just the book that I needed to read right now and I couldn’t be more excited to review it! Continue reading “Review: Lakeshire Park by Megan Walker” →
