Review: The Night Swim by Megan Goldin (Audible Edition)

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The Night Swim by Megan Goldin (Audible Edition)

I did a special feature on this book when it first came out. While it sounded good I wasn’t sure that it was one that I wanted to move up on my TBR list.

Then I started seeing a lot of other people on my Instagram talking about this one and was intrigued by some of their reviews. So I decided to take it to my book club and see what they thought.

We had fully planned on reading a different book for our September read, but this one sounded different and it also sounded like it that would generate a lot of great discussion for the book club. Continue reading “Review: The Night Swim by Megan Goldin (Audible Edition)” →

Review: One Step Behind by Lauren North

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: One Step Behind by Lauren North

I read Lauren North’s debut novel, The Perfect Son, when it came out and I absolutely loved it. I thought she was an exciting author with so much promise and I have been looking forward to this book for quite some time.

Plus it features a stalker and nothing raises the hair on the back of my neck quite like a stalker story. I immediately fast tracked this book as a perfect introduction to my creepier fall reading.

I had such high hopes for this one. The author, the story and don’t even get me started on that gorgeous cover! But I have to admit, I don’t know that I loved it in the way that I was hoping for. Continue reading “Review: One Step Behind by Lauren North” →

My book club pick for August was The Whisper Man and I was so excited for it because I have had the book from my Book of the Month box for over a year.

I often find myself looking at it on my shelves and think, ‘this is the month I am going to read it’ and then something else catches my eye and I forget until the next time my eye wanders that way.

This month though I was determined to read it and was thrilled that my book club selected it for August! Continue reading “Review: The Whisper Man by Alex North (Audible Edition)” →

Special Feature: The Guilty Die Twice by Don Hartshorn

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: The Guilty Die Twice by Don Hartshorn

If there is one show I can binge watch for days it’s Law and Order. Sure the crime parts and police work are always exciting but for me it’s the order side of things that always get me.

Court room dramas are captivating for me. I was a pre law major when I started college and growing up it was my dream to become a lawyer and I would have had I not found something else that I loved just as much.

But I still get that courtroom itch from time to time and when I do I try to do the next best thing and read a courtroom drama or thriller. This book sounded very interesting and I am thrilled to share a bit more about it with you guys today. Continue reading “Special Feature: The Guilty Die Twice by Don Hartshorn” →
