The Book Bit: Special Edition

Welcome to another special edition! I'm always so happy to work with authors and participate in blog tours, especially when it comes to this particular lady. I absolutely love Hannah Lynn's work! To see my review of her book (which she also published this year. I mean, what!?) The Afterlife of Walter Augustus, you can find that here. It was also wonderful and I recommend everyone read it. But let's focus on her newest book today!

"Peas, Carrots and an Aston Martin"- Hannah Lynn

Lynn prides herself on not fitting into a specific category. Instead she simply loves to write people's stories. This book is no exception. Is it a thriller? Romance? Drama? No. It stands on it's own as being the story of Eric Sibley, a workaholic who's just lost his estranged father. Eric had no idea his inheritance would come with conditions, let alone that his biggest inheritance would not even be given to him. His father left him a gardening plot and the coveted Aston Martin.

Though Eric is disappointed not to get the house or some of his mother's cherished belongings, he becomes increasingly annoyed at the stipulations his father left behind in his will. Eric would have to work to keep his Aston Martin. Just as he had to work for his father's affections and approval.

Lynn paints a trying time in Eric's life where he's forced to make life changes he never anticipated. Follow along as Eric tries to keep his world together and juggle it all in the attempts not to lose his job, his family, or the only thing his father left him. This book will restore your faith in the human condition, family, and friendship. Everyone will find something relatable in this book. Even if it's just the struggle to grow a damn garden.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, as I do with all of Lynn's work and encourage you to seek out her novels. She is a truly talented author and her books always leave me on a high note. I can't wait to see what she does next.

The Book Bit: March 2020 Ed.

What a month this has been, am I right? I hope everyone is staying safe and being cautious, but I mostly hope that all of you are in excellent health. For those of us stuck at home until further notice, it can mean tons of time for extra reading! Well, my kids cut in on my reading time frequently, but I still managed to read three excellent books this month. "Lone Wolf"- Jodi Picoult You all know how much I love Jodi Picoult, so whenever I find myself in a slump I look into her collection and find one I haven't read. It'll be a sad day when I finally manage to read all of them. Do you guys have a go-to author? This book was nothing short of heart-wrenching, loving, beautiful, and tragic. Luke Warren has spent his life with the wolves. He runs a sanctuary, is a member of the pack, and even spent an entire year in the wild living within a wolf pack. His extended relationship with his pack led to familial disaster. His wife divorced him and his son moved to Thail...

The Book Bit: April 2016 ed.

April. Wow, wow, April. It came and went so quickly and my schedule looked like a mad man came in and scribbled all over it. We were busy . So busy in fact that I only got to read two books this past month! Two! Oh, the travesty! But, in all fairness, did you see the size of the Kostova book?! It's huge! It should count for two reads due to the sheer size of it. April's choices were rather odd, but humorously in the same genre: romance! Oh, how I love me a good romance. "Snow Melts in Spring" was actually written by a relative (well... sort of a relative. By marriage. Or something.) and given to me by my great Aunt. The Kostova book was a gift from another book worm friend of mine which she found at the greatest little discount bookshop in the area. Seriously, they let you have a running tab; goodbye grocery money! Needless to say, it was odd they fell in the same genr...

The Book Bit: March 2018 Ed.

I don't know about you guys, but the weather this month has been nothing short of depressing. And cold. Growing up in Oklahoma, I figured I had ample experience with weather roulette, but Nebraska (did I mention we moved to Nebraska?!) has a whole other thing going on. The weather here is bananas. It's cold, rainy, snowing, windy, then maybe it will be sunny, for like, an hour. Possibly. I don't feel like I'm asking for much over here! I just want to take the kids to the park (they are driving me nuts!) or be able to sit on the front porch and read a book, you know, regular things one could do in the SPRINGTIME! *deep breath* Moving on. This month has been crazy busy for us because moving never takes just a few days of your time, but I put away two exceptional books. Both of which are the first books of their series. I know! As if I don't already have at least ten series going right now, but I'm a sucker for them. And, in my defense, one of them was a book clu...
